Well, it seemed like a dream ... that you were standing in front of a pair of full length mirrors, talking to the reflections. Both images looked like...you, but they were different; one of them was like a living ice sculpture and the other was... dark. Like a hungry black hole, but instead of sucking light into it, it leaked fire. Both of them were speaking at the same time, and you'd listen for a little while and then start swearing and snarling at them. Isn't that bizarre?"I looked down the.
