“This is your worst nightmare, huh?”

I waved Chloe’s gentle mockery away with the hand not holding a large rock, ready to bash in the heads of any errant clowns. The hall of mirrors was precisely as I remembered it, relentlessly hokey and old-fashioned. As a child, I’d been convinced that one wrong turn would leave me trapped inside of the maze forever, regardless of how ridiculous that might sound to an adult. It took me years to figure out that it was only a trick, and eventually, I would find my way like everyone did. In the real world, children don’t get trapped inside of mirrored mazes and end up lost forever.

But we weren’t in the real world anymore. I couldn’t assume the same rules applied.

Creepy lights flashed across our faces from a strobe light mounted on the ceiling, reflected dozens of times in the mirrors surrounding us. I had never understood how people could enjoy the thought of getting lost with a bunch of reflections of themselves, but there had to be fans of this nonsense somewhere.

I held my free hand out in front of me so I wouldn’t collide with the mirrored surfaces that only seemed to reflect the strobe light after I’d run into them. Most of the mirrors were angled so that you wouldn’t see yourself reflected until it was too late.

“I’ve always heard that you can solve these things by only going right when the path forks,” Chloe murmurs from behind me. “But I have no idea if that’s right.”

“I don’t see any forks. The path seems to be leading us right through the center.”

We were being led like lambs to the slaughter.

Mostly I was on the lookout for clowns, because I wasn’t about to take any chances with that shit.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw something move in the mirror ahead that wasn’t us. I froze, pulling Chloe back with me. “Did you see that?”

“See what?”

I waited a beat, but I didn’t notice any more movement. When I took another step forward, a third figure moved across the mirror without reflections. “There’s something there.”

“I don’t see it.”

But as I drew closer to the mirrored reflection, I definitely saw something in there. More accurately, I saw someone else reflected there. Two someones. And both of them were me.

Except I didn’t see myself as I currently was, instead it was a version of me that was barely five or six years old. I stood outside a large building that had to be my old elementary school. My hair was done up in high pigtail braids that draped neatly over my shoulders with bows tied on each end. When I reached out to touch the back of my own head, my hands only met glass.

“Wait, I saw that,” Chloe exclaimed. “When you touched the mirror, it was like the picture cleared up. Was that your first day of school?”

I placed my palm back on the glass, watching as the smaller version of me slowly mounted the stairs.
