Friday Fictioneers – Trapped

~ Neil MacDonald
PHOTO PROMPT © Rochelle Wisoff-Fields

There are mirrors bouncing light back and forth. Some reflect doors, or what seem to be doors, though they may just be other mirrors.

Space expands explosive to infinity. Time slows to treacle as I turn and turn. A chorus of selves, perfectly synchronised, pirouette with me.

After a time that may have been aeons, I make to leave. Approaching the door, another me steps up to bar my way. Trapped! But I know how to get round myself.

“Would you be so kind as to step aside?” I ask meekly.

“Sorry, not a chance,” replies the mirror self.
