Incomplete

Black. That was a pretty apt description. Just black, as far as the eye could see. Wait, do I even have eyes? I never thought about it before. If fact, before now, I've never though at all. I guess you could call it being "aware". So I'm here. But where is "here"? Just this endless black void. I'm here, but what exactly am I? Again, I guess I've never thought about it before. Was there even a before? What does that even mean?

Just as I was beginning to break under the strain of questioning my existence, a glint caught my attention. There was something in the distance, if distance was something that could be measured here. It, the mirror that is, seemed to shine, which was something new. Something told me to head toward it, but I didn't even know how to move. Did I even have a body? I couldn't feel anything as it were, but who knows?

All I knew is that I had a need to move toward that glowing object. After all, it was the only other thing inhabiting this void besides myself. And so, I willed myself to move close to the mirror. It failed. So I tried willing the mirror to move toward me. That also failed. I attempted to release a sigh that didn't exist to begin with.

Just as I was about to give up, the mirror appeared to move closer. No, wait, it wasn't moving, that much I could tell. So was I moving? No, I wasn't moving either. So what was happening? Glancing around, it finally dawned on me that the void itself was moving, and thus, the space between the 2 of us vanished.

I was there, in front of the mirror, at last. I looked into the mirror, but was, unsurprisingly, met with a visage of more empty space. We stayed like that for some time, before I became aware that I also didn't show up in the mirror. Which made me wonder: did I simply not exist? or was this mirror actually a window? It was ornate, but it's true purpose could not be found.

I wanted to touch it. Why can't I touch it? I kept willing myself to touch it, but nothing happened. I had finally found it, but there was nothing I could do with it. I just stayed there, staring at the "thing" in front of me, wishing for it to do something. After a few seconds, something changed.

There was static, lots and lots of static. Then, it slowly began to clear up. It showed...A field? Then...a stream? Some strange beings now...What are they called again? Animals? Yeah, animals. Lots of a particular kind. But something was off about them. They were too bright. And the colors were not what would be expected. Pink? Purple? Why are their eyes so big? Are some of them flying? I think those ones have horns? Why do animals have houses and machines?

All at once, I felt something. All over my...existance?. It was not at all pleasant. I think it's called...Pain? I clutched my head. Head? I have a head? Since when? And what did I clutch it with? Hands? I have hands and arms? Why can I feel Pain? I can't feel anything else...Gah, what's that bright light? Light? I can see? Gah! Too bright!

I looked away, and by looking around, I deduced that the light was coming from the mirror. What else could it have been?

All at once, I felt like I was fading away again. Wait. I don't want to go...
