The Other Side

What if our reflections are there to stop us from crossing over? 

                       ...What if they are there to protect us? 

Have you ever noticed that sometimes, your reflection seems just a little behind. Like, a fraction of a second's delay. Not enough to be anything more than a trick of the light, but enough for you to pause and feel unease spread through your body, before you laugh it off. Science tells us that our brain is just a little too slow at processing visual changes, which our eyes pick up too quickly for it to follow. Seems like a reasonable explanation, right? Sure.  

I've never really been superstitious. Scary stories and urban legends make me chuckle and horror films get predictable after you watch enough of them. I was in my teens when I first noticed that delay in my reflection. I walked into the bathroom to brush my teeth and glanced up at the mirror out of habit. Then paused. My reflection momentarily seemed to be just... absent. Gone for a split second, like it had ducked down or not quite got to the silvery glass in time. I blinked and, there it was. I shrugged and carried on with my day.  

It happened a few more times without me really thinking much of
