A wise decsision. Wrote:> Don't break it.
You let the mirror be. Perhaps there could be hope for the outside world.
What did I just say, child? Wrote:>Not just yet.
>It's not going anywhere, and neither are you.
>Until you break it anyways.
You feel an eerie feeling.... As if you've caused someone to watch the mirror more carefully.
You really shouldn't break it. Or someone will have to interfere.
There the mirror will stay, then. Wrote:> Don't break the mirror, but please put it on the floor reflective side down. It's not like you need a reminder.
You try to pry the mirror off the wall. Your hands grip its frame, careful not to let it slip off.
...
Your hands turn sore. Despite it being stuck to virtually nothing, it's far too heavy to lift. You're not even sure if it would move if you were stronger.
Perhaps its for the best?

"Melancholy, yes. But what wouldn't I give to see anything but the nothing outside."
Your head starts to ring. It kind of hurts, now.
You take a seat on your bed and massage your forehead. The pain subsides.

The sun...
There's a lot on the sun.
Everyone thought the sun would start to die. Somehow, the light began to fade. Winter drew closer, more often than not. Those who were left looked at the dying star and wondered how long they had left.
To them, this was a daily occurrence a daily worry. They may not escape death as a species no longer.
Yet, on one fateful day, it grew brighter. They were overjoyed, all of them. Perhaps there was hope again.
But somehow, for some reason- the sun didn't go down. It did not die.
The people couldn't live on the surface anymore. So they sought other places- underground, space, and wherever.
In the end....
There was nothing.
Must you? Truly? Wrote:>Flirt with your reflection for a while. Use your best lines.
You can't see your reflection. There's no one to flirt with. Unless you want to flirt with nothing.
FlanDab Wrote:>Tinker with Chuck's settings.
You tap the biggest spherical circle that Chuck owns, and look for the settings.
These settings don't make much sense to you. Maybe because you're not sure what else Chuck does, other than being your occasional heater.
You set Chuck's warmth setting to on and hug them. Nice and warm.
Superficial Wrote:> Abuse the bed as violently as you can. If you aren't gonna break the mirror, might as well try to break something else!
You slam your butt down on the bed as hard as you can. Surely that will break it!
It takes a moment for you to recoil in pain. You really think you should try to break anything here, actually....
SeaWyrm Wrote:>Pushups. Gotta get swole.
You set Chuck down and try to do pushups.
You lay down on the floor and attempt to push yourself up. Your arms shake as you do, unused to any physical exercise.
You barely manage three before you give up, breaking out in a cold sweat.
A little bit ahead of you, you see a plate of apple slices and water. The plate is accompanied by a note.
You've always gotten food this way, but this is the first time you've gotten a note.
Should you even read it, or just ignore it?
