House of Mirrors

Nikhil Sai

Everything in the room was a mirror—walls, ceiling, and floor. I stood amidst an infinite cascade of reflections, my own image fracturing into countless versions. Each step on the mirrored floor felt like treading on fragile glass. And then, inevitably, I bumped into one of my own reflections. Ouch! The pain was real, but so was the thrill.

The hot fumes from the food formed the word useless on my face laughing at my helplessness. I shifted my gaze towards Priya to comfort myself. While she is busy tasting the food. Why aren’t you eating she questioned while scooping into her dessert. One of...

"Welcome to the after life...." Peter heard a voice said to him. But he was out in the world before he could comprehend who it was and he is in the job before he could get a grasp around this world . It was quite a task for him in the initial days, but slowly he understood some things about this place. He got a job in the food section which is the highest level of job you can get in this place and if anybody asked him how he got this job he would simply smile and got out of that situation because he doesn't remember....
