Game Changer

Everyone has it but no one can lose it, Jay woke up with this certain intensity to play chess. He was playing himself, but was losing. When he went to the bathroom he looked into the mirror and saw himself waving back at him with a devious smile right across his pale face. He went back to his room and laid down on his side, he closed his eyes and opened them up to a dark room with a table and the game of chess setup. He walked closer to the game and his reflection materialized itself out of the dark shadows. His reflection sat there with this impatient stillness and that devious smile, and Jay just stood there. The reflection told Jay to let him in over and over again but Jay wouldn’t budge. He finally woke up screaming and saw his reflection standing right over him. He walked over to the game of chess and saw that a piece was missing from the board, his vision started to become blurry. He realized that he wasn’t playing his reflection, he was playing his shadow, and with one look he realized that his shadow was playing for his mind.
