October 8, 2008: Getting through an entire day with no sleep is an odd experience. The need for rest has a very distinct sensation. The incident last night left me severely shaken up and, coupled with exhaustion, it made for a unique workday, to say the least. I was oblivious to everything as I rode the bus and my brain tried desperately to piece together what was happening. Even considering all I have come to believe about the mirrors and whatever abilities may lie in them, I had never quite imagined anything like this. Strange to think after all that time in front of the mirrors, the thing I least expected to see was myself.
