A NOSEY MIRROR

One day, while I was walking through a market, I stopped my self to snoop around an old objects stand and I realized that above my head was hung a big round mirror, oriented downwards that nosey and careful was looking at me.The walkers and the people who milled around that area for the position on that it was placed couldn’t see it.

I looked up and I felt scared: for a moment I saw my face reflected into the mirror. A too short time was elapsed and I hadn’t enough time to reflex on that vision, neither before nor later… I didn’t recognize that image as mine.

A very strange and unforgettable feeling penetrated me… I maybe had seen my self through the eyes whose look at you for the very first time.
