Trans-Reflection: The Body of Two

In one world, there is a boy, 24, male, dark brown hair, and average short in height. In another, there is a girl, 24, female, dark brown hair, average short in height. The male has brown eyes, the gitl has blue. One has no job, lives with his family and not all that out-going. A complete opposite to the girl who is athletic, and slightly punk, both, however are bookworms, nerds. The male is hearing impaired and the female has glasses. Ones name is Ali, the other is Samiyah. Both are one individual being.

"I am on the computer", Ali screams out to his mother

This is Ali, sitting down on a vanilla colored couch, typing away the invisible ink as his fingers clicks each letter one by one in his pajamas. His mother, "Mama", is sitting on the table chair by her sister who is cooking. Ali is in a Superman bottom and  a top of Mario Mario of those "Super Mario" games of Nintendo Co. He is across from the bathroom where a mirror is lifted upon the wall with golden framework on top of swirls and illusions of grandeur.

Mirrors are a one way looking visual of oneself. Looking at it, one sees him or herself in appearance and attitude. if a mirror is behind the looker, than a row of that person appears. Reflections or copies, world after world. The mirror is a door to another world between one and another. Ali looks at the door of the bathroom and pictures himself in front of that window. What he is on the other side.

Samiyah is laying down on her bed, back on her pillows, one leg bent upwards moving her head up and down to music. She is wearing skinny jeans, white socks, a jersey of her favorite baseball team The Lions. Headphones are on her ears blasting rock n' roll. Aaru is her cousin; thin, red hair, acting cool most of the time when he is not.

"...Kings of Amerrrrica", so sings Samiyah

Samiyah has a mirror to, a mirror she only could perceive as anything but. She hardly know what awaits on the other side as she never really thinks it. Yes she spends time reading fantasy but, doesnt look at it like Ali does and goes into it as if it was actually real. Worlds in fantasy are indeed real, the fantasy is just the surface.

"The mirror of normalcy", both say together
