The mirror lesson

I stared at the mirror and looked at myself closely.  I squinted my eyes. 'I wonder what it's like to live on the other side of the mirror.' I thought.  I sighed and walked out of my room. Maybe someday I will find out.  I looked out the window and saw the sun was setting.  It was so beautiful.  I was bored and decided I would listen to my ipod. My family went to my grandma's house. I stayed back because at the moment I wasn't feeling good.  So I couldn't go. Now i'm home all alone. There really isn't much to do.  I put my ipod on and put my headphones in my ears.  To drown out any scary noises. I ended up listening to music for 2 hours.  Than I decided I would watch some videos on Youtube.  I turned my laptop on and went on Youtube.  I watched some band interviews and than some funny cat videos.   I couldn't stop laughing.  I looked at the time and figured it was about time to go to bed. I turned my laptop off.Then got into bed. I closed my eyes and drifted into dreamland. I dreamed of going over to the other side of the mirror.  I stepped through and a handsome prince took my hand and gave me a dress to wear.  I put it on and I was really pretty. It was like I suddenly lived in a wonderful fantasy. Then, I woke up hearing some strange noise. I opened my eyes and sleeply looked around my room. The clock showed 2 A.M.. I heard that strange noise again.  Here it was knocking... coming from the mirror? I squinted my eyes a little and stared at the mirror confused.  I got out of bed and slowly walked over by the mirror.  I heard the knocking again and I gasped as I backed away from it.  That's when I noticed the mirror looked weird.  I walked up to the mirror and gently placed my hand on the mirror. My hand went through.  I quickly took my hand away from it scared.  But I started to calm down. It is probably a better place on the other side just like my dreams I thought to myself. I smiled. Just then a hand came through the mirror.  It was inviting me through.  I smiled bigger.  I slowly took the hand and it gently led me to the other side.  As I got to the other side my smile slowly turned to fear.  It looked like hell.  On most of the trees there had to been skeletons hanging. Some were too dark to see.  It smelled like burning flesh.  There was fire everywhere.  There were also dead bodies with some of their flesh ripped off.   All the people here were working.  On what I don't know. They keep digging  at the ground.  'They look so skinny.' I thought 'Am I going to starve myself to death here?' As the days went on I stared at the fake me on the better side of the mirror.  I mock her every move. I can't make a mistake or otherwise i'll die. They have me starving and when i'm not at the mirror they have me digging at the ground. I'm looking for food. But can't seem to find any.  But please don't make a mistake or wish for something as bad as I did.  See what it turned out to be?
