Freewrite Writing Prompt Day a nice illusion by the @mariannewests Sartaj found himself walking through an old marketplace because of the secretive whispers coming from a hidden antique shop. An elderly man gave him the mirror when he entered the shop.
A man explained to him that this mirror was not normal. The reflection in the mirror reveals someone different from your current self because it shows the person you desire to become.
Through the reflection of the mirror Sartaj saw a confident man dressed in elegant attire who drew admiration from everyone he passed. His heart raced. Could this be real?
Each passing day Sartaj made many visits to the shop while becoming entranced by the reflective surface. He developed faith that his transformation was underway toward becoming stronger. When the mirror broke he discovered a harsh truth about his unchanged real self.
He quietly placed the mirror down after admitting “A nice illusion.” He left the house resolute to construct his dream future.
