paranoid

i don't ever blatently bring my personal life into my blog, but i need help and this is the most capable place to state one's problems while still being anonymous enough not to feel crazy.

there's someone/thing living in my bathroom mirror.
i've never actually seen it. but with every flush, i can hear a harsh snickering in the backround of rushing water.
once i looked up just in time to see a blur disappear off the face into the shadows of the wooden frame.
and there was nothing that might have been reflected on my side of the glass.

and if that wasn't bad enough, i'm the only one that realizes the entity's existance.
the rest of my family is blind and deaf to the fiend.

i've tried to get rid of the demon.
i've smashed the glass.
i've pried the mirror off the wall.

but with every repair that is made, the creature returns.

i avoid the bathroom like the plague when i can.
and when i have no choice, i ALWAYS leave the door open.
after draping towels over the mirror.
and playing loud music in hope of drowning the freak out.

but my parents are getting fed up.
they say that the bathroom has a door for a reason.
and that not everyone in the house wants to listen to heavy metal at 4 in the morning.
why can't they see?
why can't they hear?
the shadows, the muttering
it gets louder with every passing day.

how do i convince them?
how do i show them of the eminent menace?

best way to do it is crush the glass with mortar and pestle. Mix with two toad legs, eye of newt and hickory-root powder. Pour mixture into boiling water, let steep five hours. Cool, eat. oh and a carrot swallowed WHOLE!

Get your own apartment. Hopefully the demon won't follow you there, and if he does, no one will care if you play loud music at all hours.
