27/05/2008 Final project of the course Story Develpment in HK PolyUMirror
I like looking into the mirror. I have a good look in the mirror, but not only myself I like watching, but also other ones and even scenes and objects in the mirror can attract me for hours and days. I just can’t stop watching them through the mirror if only I have time. When I’m looking into the mirror, sometimes I may forget who I am, and even more, I can feel myself become the one who is in the mirror.
It really feels good.
I don’t have a good memory. I can’t remember where I come, what is my birthday, and who are my friends. But who cares? I’ve got every inside one’s memory. Maybe I’m an actor, I think. I always play the roles of other people, and live in their ways of lives via mirror. This is something magic to me.
Everything went well until she came in to my life.
Her name is Jane. When she first appeared in my mirror, I could feel that she’s different from others. She is so beautiful, more beautiful than anyone else I've seen. But for some reasons, she made me feel not good, even not safe. I was so shocked when I first time saw her in the mirror.
I couldn’t feel what she thinks, which people she likes, and what she really wants. She’s empty! Even worse, she can feel me! This never happened before. I always felt others. Nobody would notice me except her. At first, she just appeared several times and went away. I thought she was just a passenger. But soon I realized she came for me. And she was a little familiar to me. I met her somewhere before?
Who the hell is she and what did she want from me on earth! My eyes just couldn’t remove from her once she appeared in front of me. I was controlled by her.
I had to find out the truth.
But sooner I found it was really not that easy, because I don’t even know who I am. I have been being others for such a long time, but about myself I remember few. Where is my mind? I started to remember things, to get my memory back.
I was a good actor. My born gift is to imitate other people and objects. Anybody and any thing I can play it very well. I was also very good at making up. People always considered me as the one I imitate without any doubt. Not only people I could imitate. Once I played a tree standing on the street and nobody noticed me. And people liked me. They always came to me and let me imitate them. Most of the time, they were happy with it. And then…Yes! She came to me! I knew her before, I remember it!
She is always that beautiful. She said to me that I have an amazing ability which is not only imitating others, but also can I feel everything in the world. In another word, I am the world. But, to open out my ability, I had to cooperate with her.
"I’ve been looking for the one like you for a long time! I finally found you!” Jane said to me. “Come with me, I’ll show you your real gift."
I was also curious how powerful my ability is. And, how could I refuse such a beauty? I went with her. We got to a place where was full of mirrors.
"You musst stay here for the next seven days." Jane said.
"And…?" I asked. "And you will lose your memory for a while." "What do you mean for a while?" "It depends…but trust me, it won’t be long. As soon as you get your memory back, you will get your ability, your gift, which can prove how powerful you really are." "Well, I’ll do it. Just stay here?" "Just stay here. There’s food behind every mirror. If you got hungry, you can eat it."
"Where are you going to these days?" "I will keep watching you. But, once you get your ability, you will be lost. I won’t know where you will be neither. You can be anywhere. But don’t worry, I will find you, and bring you to my home. We can live together." Jane said and left. So, there was only me and the mirrors.
I looked into every mirror I felt that every mirror seemed a whole world. It’s like a door to another world, which was opposite but the same, and has all the information of the world I live. Just like me, it is a world, on the other side of the mirror.
A few hours later, I got a little hungry. I looked for the food behind the mirror. There was nothing! I looked one after another, and there was no food at all. I felt there was something wrong. Did Jane lie to me? I tried to leave this place. But I found I was around the mirrors, thousands of mirrors. I broke the mirrors but just more mirrors came out behind. I couldn’t do anything except staying there…
Time passed, I didn’t know how long it took. I woke up, everything seemed went well. I played everyone else, and I liked watching people through the mirror just like before, except one thing, I could feel and become the people who’re in the mirror. I didn’t get the memory about Jane’s part but I never thought about it, until Jane found me that day.
Jane came in front me, smiled to me, as beautiful as she used to be.
"I said I'll find you." She said.
"Yes, you find me, and now I remember everything." I said.
"Well, come with me." Jane said, "Now you have the power, can you feel it?" "Yes, I can feel anything in the world. I will go with you." I tried to walk. But I found I couldn’t move. It seemed I was in the mirror…
No…I am a mirror!
Jane came to me and held me in her arms. She brought me back to her home, hung me on the wall.
“Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful woman in the world?”Jane asks me. 12/12/2007 Hong,Kong |
