[ WP ] The person sitting closest to you ( or if you 're alone , the last person you saw ) suddenly touches your shoulder and reveals a major , life-changing secret .

It was quiet in the apartment, just like every other night. My cat napped against my leg, sound asleep waiting for me to get up and get him a late night snack. Clicking through the last few pictures on the internet, I yawned and decided it must be bed time. Nudging the cat awake, i got up from the couch and headed to the bathroom to wash my face. 
 
 The water was cold as usual, but it would warm up right around the time I was done. Did n't matter, it was refreshing anyway. Drying my face on the yellow towel, I smiled my reflection in the mirror. She smiled back at me. 
 
 `` Tomorrow is our big day,'' I told my reflection, watching as her mouth formed the words as well. `` First day of a new job. We'll finally get out of this hell hole.'' I put my hand on the mirror, her hand underneath mine. `` you'll do great, I promise.'' I turned off the light and stole one last glance at my reflection. 
 
 In the kitchen my cat was doing his usual'help me, i have n't been fed since this morning and am dying' routine of rubbing against my leg and meowing. He was a big kitty, but that was his charm. I mixed the little bit of wet food with the dry food, humming the theme song to a show I had been watching earlier. 
 
 Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I jumped, spilling the bowl of cat food all over the counter and dropping the spoon. I lived alone, there should be no one else in my apartment. 
 
 `` Hey, sorry to startle you,'' someone said from behind me. I could have sworn it was my own voice. Slowly, I turned around, only to come face to face with myself. She smiled at me, the same smile I had, the same one my reflection had. Terrified, I looked at the microwave, waiting to see my reflection in the stainless steel. There was nothing. 
 
 `` how... who...'' my words were jumbled as my mind tried to grasp what was going on. 
 
 `` Oh, I'm from the mirror! I just wanted to wish you good luck tomorrow! You've always been so supportive of me I just wanted to share the sentiment.'' She giggled as if this was a perfectly normal thing to do. My cat meowed, weaving between the two of us, hoping one of us would feed him. 
 
 `` Uh, thank you.'' I mumbled, not sure what to say really. She bent down, scratching my cat on the cheek, his favorite spot. 
 
 `` Well, I better get back to reality. You really are the best reflection. I've seen people who have really crappy reflection that are just mean! Good luck tomorrow! See ya around!'' She waved goodbye and disappeared back into my bathroom. 
 
 `` I'm a reflection,'' I said to no one, or to her, or to my cat. I was n't sure at that moment. I began to wonder many things, about my life choices, about my preferences of things. Were they mine, or hers? I did n't know, i did n't want to know. 
 
 My cat's meow brought me out of my stupor as he eyed the food dish on the counter. To him, it did n't matter if I was just a reflection. Hell, he was probably some other cat's reflection as well. Cleaning up the cat food I set his food dish on the floor. 
 
 Tomorrow was going to be a lot more interesting than I thought.
