text ❁ seven years is also how long it takes to complete a ph.d.

Well, well. I suppose this means I can now officially join the "received a mysterious and vaguely threatening package in the mail with no prior warning" club. I have to admit, though, that in comparison to some of the things I've heard of people receiving? A broken mirror (?) does strike me as a little underwhelming. It's pre-broken, even, which I believe exempts me from any curse of seven years of bad luck. Quite frankly, all these shards of glass have got to be a safety hazard, and yet for some reason every time I go to throw the lot of it away, I end up second-guessing the impulse. Is that odd? I don't know what else I could possibly do with this, mind, and yet even so I...just can't seem to bring myself to dispose of the thing.

Er, yeah, a little bit. What happened there? Did you finally find what you were looking for with this post?

[roseblooms]

I...

Well, to tell you the truth, I fell over. That's where the texting mishap came in.

On the other hand, I seem to have remembered what it is the mirror reflects.

You can't hit your head and die, dude, what will we tell Retrospec Jim then?

But do tell what it reflects.

Some sort of mysterious ray of pure energy, when it's shot at it.

might have to submit my own memory regain now... ah

Oh geez. Well, with it broken, I don't think it'll be doing that anymore. Do you remember any context?
