Fictitious Friday: The Thing

Beyonce looked into the mirror and smiled lasciviously. Jay Z was gonna love her new outfit. She turned to leave but did a double-take and looked closely at her reflection. At first glance, everything appeared normal, but then Beyonce realized it wasn’t her reflection looking back at her. She let out a gasp and the thing in the mirror smiled the kind of smile that gives you goose bumps.

“So,” it said, “you’re the famous Beyonce.”

Beyonce could only stare in shock as the thing climbed out of the mirror. It laughed and continued.

“You stole my name, selling it as if it were a tomato at the musika*!”

Beyonce shook her head confused and took a step back.

“Well let me tell you something Beyonce, you’re a thief! And after I’m through with you, you won’t be stealing any more names. You won’t be stealing anything!’

The thing laughed again and moved threateningly towards Beyonce, Beyonce shook her head again and stammered, “I don’t know what you’re talking about… Wh-who are you?”

The thing smiled that smile again and whispered,

 “I Am…Sasha Fierce.”
