It was still strange for me to look in
the mirror in which my grandfather always eyeing, before he left the
house. Now I stood there and felt the spirit of the old barbarian to
haunt me around. A crack echoed through the large mansion. A murmur
and noise. It felt as if these noises creep down the stairs, wrap me
like an icy wind and force me to go upstairs.
And I followed. I walked up the many
steps and looked up at the chamber in which my grandfather punished
me often enough. My heart was racing, my legs were heavy as lead, but
the icy and invisible mist pushed me to up the steps. I found the
reason for the noise and murmur. One of the small gas lamps whispered
to himself and the flame flickered at the blackened glass along. I
made it out, hoping the nightmare would end now. But no. I
heard my name.
"Dorian," a whisper
surrounded me. And it was the voice of my grandfather. They came out
of the attic and all the terrible memories took me back. The
punishments, the cold and pure hatred. I wanted to run away and leave
the house, but again the invisible mist pushed me closer to the door.
My hand squeezed the doorknob down. Slowly my hand pushed open the
door and the ghostly whisper disappeared. There was nobody here.
Only old dusty and unwanted furniture,
dust and spiders. From the window I ripped one of the planks in order
to flood the chamber with light and discovered the broken mirror.
Cautiously, I lifted up the pieces. They inserted themselves into the
open areas come naturally. As if they were magnets. And again I saw
with uneasiness at my reflection. As shocked and fascinated. What was
just waiting for me in this house?
