The Mirror Can Be A Smile’s...BFF…Or… It Can Be A…! Part 2.

Wow! You guys have the fullest bags of treats!...

And you're having the most fun, acting out fantasies that would otherwise not materialize, and that's okay, because you, readers, are going to dress up too, and your "I'm glad that there are nice bright lights replacing the total darkness" smiles are just giggling like an anticipating kid getting ready to experience the furthering of the preface first found in the post, "The Mirror Can Be A Smile’s...BFF…Or… It Can Be A….! Part 1," and we pick up where HSR IS TRYING TO FIND A GIFT FOR A FRIEND WHO IS THROWING A JAMMIN' ANNUAL HALLOWEEN PARTY, AND HSR IS JUST A-WHISTLING AND A-DRIVING ALONG...

BUT HSR STILL HAS AN EERY AND STRANGE FEELING ABOUT THINGS, AND HE'S GOING TO A STORE ON A SIDE OF TOWN WHERE HE'S NEVER BEEN BEFORE, AND IT'S DARK OUTSIDE ALREADY, SO HE FINALLY GETS THERE, AND THE STORE IS JUST ABOUT TO CLOSE, BUT THE OWNER SAYS THAT HE CAN STILL COME ON IN AND TAKE A QUICK LOOK AROUND, AND HSR SEES...

A GOODIE BASKET!...WHICH MIGHT BE OKAY...

AND... HE JUMPS!...WHEN HE SEES...

SOME SCARY EYEBALLS AND GLASSES, HOWEVER, HE DOES LIKE A...

JAR WITH LIGHTS, AND HSR CALLS OUT,  "SIR, WHAT IS THE PRICE OF THIS LIGHT JAR?" AND THE OWNER SAYS, "OH, THAT THERE'S FOR FREE!...YOU CAN TAKE IT!...OH YES, AND THE LIGHTS NEVER GO OFF...ISN'T THAT SOMETHING?...HEY, SONNY, I'M GOING IN THE BACK YARD FOR A MINUTE"...

AND THEN HSR HEARS THE SCREEN DOOR SHUT...

AND RIGHT AFTER THAT, THE HSR HEARS THE SOUND OF TWO DIFFERENT CHAIRS SLIDING ON THE FLOOR FOR JUST A SECOND...

AND HE LOOKS AROUND, BUT DOESN'T SEE ANYTHING THAT COULD CAUSE THAT COMMOTION, SO HE THINKS TO HIMSELF, "WELL, THE OWNER DID SAY THAT THIS JAR IS FREE...

AND WITH THESE CREEPY SOUNDS...I'M OUTTA HERE!"

BUT WHEN THE HSR TRIES TO LEAVE, THE DOOR DOESN'T BUDGE...

 SO HE SHAKES THE DOOR HARDER, BUT NO GO!...

THEN, HSR CALLS OUT FOR HELP!...

TO SOME PEOPLE WHO JUST HAPPEN TO BE WALKING BY..."HEY THERE, PLEASE HELP ME GET OUT OF HERE!," HE SCREAMS...

...AND THE PEOPLE,  NOW FRIGHTENED, WALK FASTER TO GET AWAY..

PROBABLY THINKING, "IT'S A TRAP!"...

SO, SINCE HE CAN'T LEAVE NOW, HSR IS ABOUT TO LOSE IT!...

AND LOOKING AT THE SIGN ON THE FRONT DOOR THAT SHOWS OUTWARD, HE SEES THE WRITING "CLOSED...FOREVER!," AND THE HSR SWEARS THAT IT SAID "OPEN" WHEN HE CAME IN...

SO NOW, FEELING LIKE AN EIGHT ON THE FRIGHT SCALE, HE CAUTIOUSLY TURNS AROUND TO LOOK IN THE STORE, AND HE WALKS UP TO THIS MIRROR ON THE WALL, WHICH DOESN'T SHOW A REFLECTION...IT JUST SHOWS

CLOUDS AND SMOKE CHANGING SHAPES...INTO THINGS, AND THEN BACK INTO CLOUDS...

SO A CURIOUS HSR STEPS CLOSER TO THE MIRROR...

AND HE REACHES OUT A FINGER TO TOUCH THE MIRROR...

BUT A VOICE CALLS OUT TO HIM AND SAYS, "I WOULDN'T TOUCH THAT IF I WERE YOU!"...

AND HSR LOOKS AROUND, BUT NO ONE IS THERE!...NOW, HE STARTS TO GET HOT UNDER THE COLLAR AND SWEAT A LITTLE MORE...

"WHERE DID THAT VOICE COME FROM?," THINKS THE HSR,  AND HE SEES ANOTHER MIRROR...AND WALKS OVER TO IT...

BUT IT DOESN'T GIVE A REFLECTION BACK!...WHAT'S UP WITH THAT!...

AND WALKING OVER TO ANOTHER REFLECTIVE GLASS, HE LOOKS AT IT...

BUT IT ONLY GIVES A FAINT FUZZY PICTURE BACK...BUT HSR HEARS WORDS FROM IT THAT  SAY, "BEWARE OF THE OUTSIDE"...

SO HSR LOOKS OUT OF ONE WINDOW, AND SEES...

AND OUT OF ANOTHER WINDOW, HE WITNESSES...

WHICH ONLY MEANS HALLOWEEN'S IN FULL SWING!...

AND HE REALLY STRETCHES TO LOOK OUT OF A THIRD WINDOW PORTAL AND SEES...

"OH, NO! I ONLY CAME HERE TO BUY A GIFT!...

AND NOW I'M IN A BAD DREAM!," EXCLAIMS HSR...

"OH, SHUT UP AND STOP YOUR WHINING!," SAYS ANOTHER MIRROR!...

IT CONTINUES, "ALL RIGHT, IF YOU'D LIKE, JUST GO AND SEE MY COUSIN!"

AND SENSING SOMETHING, HSR TURNS AROUND...AND WHOA!...HIS COUSIN?!

"NO ONE'S GOING TO BELIEVE ANY OF THIS...IF I GET OUT OF HERE!"...

"YOUNG MAN...CALM DOWN!...I NEED YOU TO DECIDE YOUR FATE", SAYS A PERSON THAT HSR JUST NOW SEES OFF TO THE SIDE...

"EITHER YOU ENTER INTO THE "MIRROR OF DESIRE" HERE...AND GET JUST WHAT YOU ASK FOR...WITH ONE CATCH, OF COURSE...

..."OR ENTER INTO THE "MIRROR OF THE LOST" OVER THERE...

...AND FIND MY DAUGHTER...

..."LOCATE HER, AND BRING HER BACK TO ME!...YOU WILL BE COMPENSATED VERY HANDSOMELY...IF...YOU MAKE IT BACK!...

"WELL SIR," HSR REQUESTS, "WHAT IS HER NAME?"

"MY NAME IS SIR RALPHIE  RALEIGH, KING OF GRINATION...AND SHE IS MY DAUGHTER, MORGANITY.

"BUT YOU MUST MAKE HASTE,  SIR...CHOOSE A MIRROR WITHIN THE NEXT TEN SECONDS..." THE MAN WARNS...

"OR ELSE WHAT," ASKS HSR...

"OR ELSE CLAWLITA, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT WINDOW...WILL COME IN HERE...

AND MAKE YOU ALL HERS!"

HSR THEN TAKES A BIG GULP, AND SAYS, "I WOULD LIKE TO GET MY WISH...BUT I DON'T LIKE THE CREEPINESS OF THAT ONE CATCH YOU JUST MENTIONED...

"SO...MMM...OMG!...SHUCKS!...

"AND I DON'T WANT TO BE THE ENDANGERED PLAY TOY OF CLAWLITA!

"DANG!...!...

"I'LL TRY TO SAVE YOUR DAUGHTER MORGANITY!," FINALLY CHOOSES HSR...

NOW, HSR PACES OVER TO STAND IN FRONT OF THE "MIRROR OF THE LOST"...

KING RALPHIE THEN ASKS, "BY THE WAY SIR, WHAT IS YOUR NAME?"...

"HSR" SAYS HSR...

"WELL, WHAT DOES THE "R" STAND FOR," ASKS THE KING OF GRINATION...

"REPORT...MY NAME IS "HOLLYWOOD SMILES REPORT," TEACHES HSR... 

"YOU MUST BE A JOURNALIST!," THE KING SURMISES...

"NO, KING, SIR...I AM JUST A SIMPLE ADVENTURER," RESPONDS HSR...

"WELL, THEN, I PROMISE THAT YOU'LL HAVE THE ADVENTURE OF YOUR LIFE!"... 

"PLEASE, TAKE YOUR PLACE IN FRONT OF THE MIRROR," COMMANDS THE KING...

WHILE WALKING OVER TO THE "MIRROR OF THE LOST," HSR THINKS ABOUT THE PARTY HE'S MISSING, THEN CLAWLITA, THEN WHAT HIS WISH MIGHT BE IN THE "MIRROR OF DESIRE," THEN HE HEARS A WINDOW BREAK!...

IT'S CLAWLITA!...COMING FOR HIM!...

EEEK! OH, MAN!...

HSR NOW RUNS OVER TO THE "MIRROR OF THE LOST"

AND ESCAPES INTO THE GLASS...

BUT CLAWLITA FOLLOWS HIM IN!...WHAT THE HECK!...

HSR NOW BECOMES EXTREMELY DISORIENTED...LIGHTS FLASH!...SOUNDS BLARE!...

AND HE SEES A SIGHT THAT HE LIKES TO STARE AT, BECAUSE IT MIGHT GIVE HIM SOME ANSWERS...

THEN THINGS BECOME DEAFENINGLY SILENT, WITH STRANGE LIGHTS ALL AROUND!...

"I FEEL LIKE CALLING OUT TO SEE IF MORGANITY IS AROUND, BUT SOMETHING TELLS ME TO WAIT,!" CONTEMPLATES HSR, AS HE PERCEIVES THE WONDERS OF THIS NEW SURROUNDING PARADIGM...

SO, HE LOOKS IN FRONT AND IN BACK...AND..."YIKES! WHAT IN THE WORLD?!..."

"Be scared of what you perceive...or...don't be scared...the choice is up to you!"















One of Man's most significant and enduring inventions, and one that directly effects self identities and personal pursuits...is...taa-daa...the mirror!

Even since the old days...when mirrors were first constructed...

...people paid attention, and "followed the mirror!"

Mirrors play a powerful part in the growth, development, and the evolving self-surface of all of us.

"What you see is what you are" is true in many cases.

And the question "Does your image comply with established social norms?" makes many people uneasy, and, in some cases, may cause a conflict...

 ...with their own inner workings.

But do mirrors have more powers than we casually think?

We recognize our faces in the mirror...of course...and hopefully, we love ourselves...

But, is there such a thing as a "Mirror Image Universe," and what and/or who inhabits it?

Do mirrors keep track of us on their own insides?

And do very old mirrors...

...have many stories and powers inside of them?

Are we strong-hearted enough to stand the truths and images that we "think" may pour out from them?

And more importantly, are there activities and goings-on within mirrors when those mirrors have "down time," when they aren't engaged with and showing a person his or her mirror image?

Are there families, homes, and communities in these theoretical, un-seeable worlds?...

And is there something and/or someone lurking behind the glass that we should know and be warned about?

...Or are our imaginations "just running wild" about this very controversial and debatable place?

And would you dare to behold and gaze into, and possibly be unknowingly and irreversibly influenced by a historic, centuries-old, "concentrated" mirror that still "hotly" harbors its many owners' secret thoughts, opinions, rivalries, and their "implanted psychological stains" from royal family squabbles and conspiracies, and even the contorted facial looks captured by the mirror during the rise and fall of their many great kingdoms?...

...and which may have numerous and disperate sets of deep-seated spirits inextricably entwined?

Would you like to have a seat in front of this "portal to your own inner and outer self?"

...and discover all of the mysteries, truths, lies, and ramifications behind your own conscious and subconscious facades?...Yes, have a seat...surely you can't be fooled by this guy...

...or this woman...

...because all smiles mean well, right?


May you have many...don't look at me for your answers, I've got my own quizzes to take!...make it so your teeth can bite hard, but don't do it very often...do ghosts eat?...smiles!
