Everyday Drabbles #968

From a young age, he knew there was another hidden world. He could see it reflected in puddles and from behind mirrors. Adults told him to stop being silly and explained that he only saw his reflection. But he knew that they were wrong. What he saw didn't quite match up to what they did. He stopped telling people and practiced keeping perfectly still so that his reflection stayed synced. Eventually, he grew up and forgot about the other world he had seen. It slipped away from him. Until one day, he reached out, and his reflection pulled him across.
