One Strange Midspring’s Morning at Jack’s House: Part II – The Long Strange Passage

Note: This is a three-part series.

…Continued from Part I

He walked past Jack and into the passage to get to the next room, but on reaching the door he realised he walked more than before. He took a look back, glanced down the passage from the door of that room. He saw that the passage was longer, the basin was missing and the kitchen had a new door.

“How strange?!” he thought to himself. This sudden change he couldn’t accept, so he began to trudge down the now longer passage with a frown, back to the front room getting further confused with every passing step.

“Where the fuck is your basin?” he asked Jack.

“Huh?! It’s in the same place,” the reply came back.

“No it isn’t. And when did the kitchen door change? Also, the passage has elongated, which is pretty strange!”

“What’s wrong with you? Take another look, the basin’s right there.”

This made him look over his shoulder and give a stare. And lo! In the middle of the passage the basin was there!

He looked back at Jack and gave a grin, and said, “Oh! I see it now,” as he scratched his chin.

“Though the passage is still longer, at least I can brush my teeth,” and while saying that he shuffled his feet.

“Idiot,” Jack muttered while getting off his seat.

The idiot walked lazily toward the basin. He stared ahead hazily and to the mirror was facin’. “What a crazy morning,” he thought, “must be lack of sleep.” And with this in mind, he turned to the mirror and took a peep. He didn’t see me then, but I caught a glimpse of his face just before he lost his sleep.
