Echoes of Eternity
Echoes of Eternity: A Journey Through Time's Reflection
Title: Echoes of Eternity
In the heart of a bustling city, where the echoes of footsteps reverberate through narrow alleyways, there existed a forgotten corner concealed by shadows. Here, amidst the chaos of urban life, lay a peculiar antique shop named "Echoes of Eternity."
This shop, with its weathered wooden facade and mystical aura, was home to the enigmatic proprietor, Mr. Alaric. He was a man of mystery, shrouded in tales whispered by the wind and rumors woven by the cobwebs of time. Many spoke of Mr. Alaric's uncanny ability to procure artifacts with extraordinary histories, each imbued with a touch of magic or a whisper of the supernatural.
One brisk autumn evening, a young woman named Evelyn stumbled upon this hidden gem. Intrigued by the faint melody of a distant memory, she ventured inside, her eyes alight with curiosity. The bell above the door tinkled softly as she entered, announcing her presence to the shop's sole occupant.
Mr. Alaric, a tall figure with piercing eyes and an air of quiet wisdom, regarded Evelyn with a knowing smile. "Welcome, dear traveler," he said, his voice like a gentle breeze carrying secrets from distant lands. "What brings you to Echoes of Eternity?"
Evelyn hesitated for a moment before responding. "I'm not entirely sure," she admitted. "I felt drawn here, as if there's something waiting for me, something I can't quite explain."
Mr. Alaric nodded understandingly. "Ah, the call of destiny," he mused. "It has a way of leading us to where we need to be, even if we don't yet understand why." With a graceful gesture, he invited Evelyn to explore the shop at her leisure.
The interior of Echoes of Eternity was a treasure trove of wonders—ancient artifacts, arcane relics, and curiosities from bygone eras adorned every corner. But it was a peculiar mirror that caught Evelyn's gaze—a mirror unlike any other, reflecting not her image, but fragments of forgotten dreams and lost whispers of the past.
As she approached the mirror, a whisper brushed against her ear, beckoning her to peer closer. With trembling hands, she touched the surface, and the mirror shimmered with ethereal light, drawing her into a realm where time danced to the tune of forgotten memories.
In this surreal dimension, Evelyn found herself face to face with her own reflection—a reflection not of flesh and bone, but of her innermost desires and fears, woven into the fabric of existence itself.
Through the mirror's lens, she witnessed moments from her past, present, and future intertwining like threads in a cosmic tapestry. She saw the echoes of her childhood dreams, the shadows of her darkest fears, and the faint glimmer of hope that illuminated her path.
Lost in this mesmerizing labyrinth of time, Evelyn embarked on a journey of self-discovery, confronting the ghosts of her past and embracing the unknown mysteries that awaited her. With each step, she unraveled the secrets of the mirror and unlocked the hidden truths that lay dormant within her soul.
But as the veil between worlds began to thin, Evelyn faced a choice—to return to the familiar embrace of reality or to venture deeper into the unknown, where the echoes of eternity whispered tales of endless possibilities.
In the end, she chose to embrace her destiny, stepping through the mirror's threshold with newfound courage and determination. For in the realm of Echoes of Eternity, she found not only the reflection of her own journey but the boundless potential of her spirit to soar beyond the confines of time and space.
And so, as the echoes of her footsteps faded into the distance, the legend of Evelyn and the mystical mirror of Echoes of Eternity became a tale whispered in hushed tones, forever etched in the annals of time.

Two Pink Lines
I had never really felt like a child. I'd always had to raise myself. My mother was just a teenager when she'd had me and consequently, we had spent my whole childhood arguing and fighting like a couple of sisters as opposed to mother and daughter. My father was older than my mother but still had some maturing to do himself. He focused his entire life on me, his little girl but never realized the pressure that put on me. I always felt I had to raise him even as he was trying to raise me. We raised each other. Then, I met him. He cares, he shows me a love like I've never known. For once, it's about me and I don't have to focus on other people's needs and what someone needs from me. Someone always wants something from you. That is what my parents have taught me. Love is selfish but it isn't with him. He is perfect, beautiful, funny, and can take me to places I've only dreamed about. Places outside my mind and my own pathetic life and I know that I will always love him. When we first met, I wanted him to have my children, but now? Right now, with us both still in high school? This is all happening so soon. I slipped into the restroom at work. It had been 6 weeks since my last menstrual and this was not normal. I couldn't wait any longer. I put the top on the test and waited. These 60 seconds felt like forever. What would we do? We were both seniors so we didn't have long to go before school was over but this was not the plan. The plan was for him to join the Army and me the National Guard and for me to get my associate's degree and then we marry, then have kids.

Just Another New York Minute
Your feet are tired from walking so far already today, and you’re looking forward to freshening up with a hot, sudsy shower before meeting up later with friends you haven’t seen in a while. The automated subway announcer’s chipper voice has made it known that your stop is next, less than a minute away and your body tenses as you prepare to prepare to rise without disturbing the sleeping woman in scrubs to the left of you. Her deep respirations speak of exhaustion and you will do your best to obey that unspoken rule of New York City, “Infringe on no other, or at least try not to.”
