Strange Days

September 22, 2020September 23, 2020 / crowcityblog / 1 Comment

As a bored, pimple-faced high schooler, I read a science-fiction story about a character who gets trapped on the wrong side of the mirror. Duped by his reflection, he lives in a world not quite normal—a dimmer alternate universe populated by imposters he does not love.
