Mask: The genesis of mystery

Unexplainable Urge

My alarm clock is shouting again, it's 7 o'clock in the morning. I'm singing again on my mind.

"Today I don't feel like doing anything"

Nothing new, I moved the curtains, went down the kitchen and eat my breakfast. "So full" I said as I touch my stomach.

I can see the mask on my side from my peripheral vision.

Why do I have this feeling? It feels like I wanted to wear it. What a weirdo I am.

I looked and stared at it and without further thinking, I took it and wear it.

I get my cellphone from my pocket and decided to take a picture while wearing the mask. But..

A little glimpse of the photo, I deleted it.

I don't know why but I just feel like deleting it. I went to my room and feel like facing the mirror.

It's pretty interesting why I chose this mask, all I know is that I felt it talking to me to buy it that day. Also, it's not that expensive so I think that is one of the reason why I bought it.

Out of nowhere I started staring at myself in the mirror, wearing the mask, again.

I remembered that my friend sent me a message saying that she will come over to watch a movie with me so I decided to prepare some snacks.

I went down to the kitchen to get food. "I like this one, I should make shiela to try it" I said as I picked up the soda from the fridge. By the way, Shiela is my Best Friend.

As I go back up the stairs, the soda slipped and wet the floor.

I carried the other snacks to my room when suddenly the doorbell rings.

I run because I know that it's her. I miss this girl so much even though she's annoying sometim- I mean all the time. It's been months since I last saw her and pinched her cheeks to make it all red.

I forgot about the wet floor and as I run towards the edge of the stairs, I slipped and fell down. What a clumsy creature I am. I realized that I can't seem to move my arms. I can't feel it. I looked at it and-

"Ouchhhh" I said then I fainted when I saw my arms broken. It looks like a bended spoon.

I opened my eyes and I was on a total shock when I realize that--

I didn't move a single foot since I looked at myself in the mirror, wearing the mask.

I received a message from my friend saying "I'll just come back when you're home, no one is answering on the door, you're gonna treat me next time, got it?"

What is happening to me? I said as I remove my mask.

It looks like I am seeing what will happen everytime I wear this mask and stare at it. But is that even possible? Am I going insane? I know that I'm weird, and clumsy, and- whatever but this is different.

Just to feel satisfaction, I decided to go to the market, not to buy groceries, but to find the mask vendor lady and ask her something.

"What if she's a witch or something like that?" I said on my mind while walking. But she doesn't seem like that, she really is nice. And also, why am I even thinking about those things?

"Those kind of things are not real, you weirdo" I said to myself.

Half an hour pass by but I couldn't find her, I even ask other vendors but none of them know where the lady is.

They didn't even know who is the lady I was talking about. I decided to stop searching and went home.

Minutes later then I reached my house. I got a call from my parents saying they'll be home by tomorrow because their boss allowed them to take a leave.

"Really, Okay see you, I love you" I said then I ended the call.

I am very happy because we'll be together again. I really miss them so much. It's feels so lonely to be by myself every single day. I

I also got a message from my friend, she wants me to come over at her house to have dinner since it's her sister's birthday.

I couldn't find my mask, not the mysterious one. I couldn't find all of my other masks.

It leaves me no choice but to wear that mask.

I'll just be careful not to stare at it and not to pay attention to it. Just to be sure, I guess.

I wear it then I started to drive, I forgot to take it off when I got in the car and I got a glimpse of my reflection in the mirror.

No matter how I fight it, I couldn't take my eyes off myself in the mirror, wearing the mask.

I suddenly realize that I was still driving and stopped the car.

"What is wrong with me?" I said on my mind.

I took the mask off then a blindly light appears. What is thi-?

"a train!? " I shouted.

I realized that I stopped on a train track but it was too late. My car won't start. "Come on you clumsy car" I said while still trying to make it start. But it just won't start!

Is this where I'm gonna die? Really! on a train track? What a place to die. But I don't want to die in here!

"Ahhhhh--"
