"Mom" I whimpered running into her arms and hugging her tightly."Mom" I cried out loud in her arms.

"Adam, what happened dear?"
"Why are you not at college?"

She called me by a name that did not belong to me. I was broken and could not understand what was happening around me. Who is Adam? Is she my mother?

"I felt sick so I got permission and came home Mom"." I missed you".
I said crying while hugging her.

"Oh dear it's fine, everything will be alright". She said patting my back.
"I will make some soup for you" She then left, my other mother.

I was confused as I looked around the room and observed everything keenly. There hung a family photo, a happy family with the same faces as mine but a different story. My other mother, My other father and there inbetween them stood the other me.

I realised that I had travelled into a whole new world. I went outside and everything felt the same but it was much better. One thing that never changed is the caring eyes of mother. I sat at the dining table and drank my soup. I was hungered for over a week. I drank the soup wholeheartedly as she admired me.
"I will have to go and join your father in the lab. I will be back soon dear, take care".
She said as she left, tears streamed down my eyes as this was the life that I yearned for. I closed the door and roamed around the house. I entered a room that looked like an office. The hypothesis of the mirror world said the folder which lay on the desk.

I opened it and started searching for answers. The mirror world is a parallel world it said, we all have our counterparts living in the other world but there would be a point where the two worlds would collide, and if so the other counterparts must die for us to live. It's a string of fate which leads to the death of a counterpart or the destruction of the world.

I gasped and closed the folder but when I turned back to leave the room there stood my other mother.

"You are not Adam" said my other mother holding a knife in her hand. A rush of deja vu as I remembered that day keenly. Of course I knew the killers eyes, they were the eyes of my other mother and father. This explained everything about how police couldn't identify the killers, how there were no signs of trespassing and how only my parents fingerprints were left.

My breath became uneven as someone from behind hit me in the head knocking me out. My eyes were blurry as I saw the person and it was none other than my other father.

I opened my eyes and I was tied to a chair of course I knew this place, it was none other than my basement in the mirror world. The feeling of excitement and happiness gushed inside of me as I found the killers and the answers to all of my questions.

"You must die for our Adam to live," said my other father.

I felt anger, they killed my parents just because of a mere hypothesis. I reached towards my pocket and took out a pocket knife as I freed myself.

"We don't wish to do this too but we have no other choice honey".
"If it's between you and us we would choose to live, killing you"."I hope you understand us we are just reuniting you with your family" said my other mother.

I could not bear to hear these from them, them with my parents face. She came towards me as I held onto my knife.

When she was near I swung my knife across her face, sharing the same face doesn't make you my parents. They would never say such things to me. That man held me against the wall as the woman whimpered holding her face. I kicked him on his stomach and stabbed him in his thighs. They don't know for how many days I have practised this, wanting to kill them.

I slashed his face as that woman came running towards me wielding the knife. I stabbed her as she fell. I stabbed them continuously enjoying their whimpering till their last breath. I knew that they were dead but I couldn't stop myself. This thrilling feeling made me feel excited and happy like I was before. I was soaked in blood as I laughed with contentment. Then I heard some footsteps,
"Who is there" said a voice coming downstairs.

"Mom" "Dad" he cried out loud holding them in his arms. I walked towards him
"Who are you?" he asked trembling.

"The other you" I said wiping the blood off my face as he was taken aback.

"Don't come near me!" he said whimpering.
I saw myself in him. The day my parents died I was in the same state as him. I took a rod that was lying in the basement. He tried to run away how cute. I swung the rod across his head knocking him out.

I got a rope and tied it to the ceiling, carried him and made him hang there, his legs supported by a stool. He opened his eyes as he started crying."Farewell," I said kicking the stool and making him choke by the rope. I sat in a chair enjoying the view. As his struggling legs and arms dropped lifeless. I went upstairs to his parents room as the mirror shined. I walked in and reached to my world.

Years passed and I got a normal job but I yearned for the excitement and enthusiasm I felt while killing. I couldn't control myself, the pleasure, the excitement that I have never felt I wanted to experience it again.

I asked an annoying colleague on a date as she always flirts with me. We both reached my house."It's so old" she claimed making me clench my fists.

"You earn handsomely but why do you still live here"."It's not up to your standard" she said cheekily. She went inside my parents room as I took out my knife and followed behind her. I held her against the wall as she smiled. I covered her mouth and brought my face close to her as she stared into my eyes without breaking eye contact.
"Farewell," I said stabbing her in her stomach as she whimpered. The excitement and adrenaline rush inside me. I loved it. I stabbed her continuously, her eyes begging me to stop. She took her last breath as my excitement soon got over and panic took over.

What have I done? I don't want my life to end. You should have controlled yourself Asher now what are you gonna do? I dropped the knife and held my ear as I screamed. Then the mirror glowed miraculously after years. I went near and extended my hand towards the mirror as it went in. I was beaming with happiness. I carried her and travelled to the other world.

I buried her in Adam's garden and then I left to my world.
