Title: 'Strange Imprisonment'
Fandom: Original Fiction
Rating: G

Yours is a strange imprisonment. Soul divided in half, one half of you lives in the physical world, occupying a cell. But the cell isn't even locked.

Instead, you are chained at the ankle. To a mirror. Within the mirror rests the other half of your soul. And the reflection there is imperfect.

For around the reflection's wrist--around the wrist of the rest of your fragmented soul--is the key that will end this strange imprisonment. If the mirror were to shatter, then everything would be well.

But the mirror is made of brass. And brass does not shatter.
