brain disorders

Every morning, I noticed something strange in my bathroom mirror. At first, I thought it was a trick of the light—a fleeting shadow or an odd smudge on the glass. But after weeks of seeing it, I couldn’t deny it: there was a face, a pale, unfamiliar face, that appeared every day.

The face was always the same—gaunt with hollow eyes, its mouth frozen in an unsettling, quiet grin. It lingered for a few seconds, then vanished, as though it had never been there.

I tried cleaning the mirror, but the face remained, appearing each morning just as the light from the window began to touch the glass. Desperate, I covered the mirror with a towel. But the next morning, I woke to find the towel crumpled on the floor, and the face staring at me, clearer than ever.

Frustrated, I asked a neighbor to help me check out the mirror, but when Jack looked at the mirror the face was absent. Another friend, who visited couldn’t see the strange face either. One evening, I decided to leave a camera running overnight, hoping to capture some clue as to who the strange face might be.

The footage showed nothing at first. But at exactly 6:00 AM, just as I had noticed before, the face appeared—faint at first, then sharper. And then, to my horror, it spoke.

“Help me,” the whisper echoed from the mirror.

Frozen in fear, I leaned closer to the screen. I had no idea who or what was on the other side, but I couldn’t shake the chilling feeling that it wanted something from me. It wanted me to listen.

The next morning, I stood before the mirror once more, my heart pounding. This time, the face didn’t vanish after a few seconds. It remained, staring into my eyes. I whispered into the mirror, “What do you want?“

The reflection grinned more expansive, and I saw a flicker of recognition in those dark, hollow eyes.

That face in the mirror was mine!

Side Note!

In 2016, I lost my mom to dementia. It was a terrible thing to witness as the frontal lobe of her brain slowly and methodically disintegrated over 15 months. On many occasions, she would be staring into a bathroom mirror for hours at a time, not recognizing the reflection in the mirror.

I knew what was happening to the brilliant woman who had brought me into this world from a neurodegenerative standpoint, but as a son watching his dad attempt to care for his wife, it was perhaps the most challenging thing I have ever had to watch and endure in my lifetime.

The Matrix is a strange place, and for some odd reason, I awakened a few minutes ago from a sound sleep and reached for my writing tablet on the nightstand near my bed. I felt compelled to write this information into a short story.

Was this a message coming from somewhere else, or were it merely several random neurons firing within the parameters of my cranium?

Who knows where the words I write truly originate from? My job has always been, for as long as I can remember to get them out and organized as best I can when I can.

Good night!

Neurodegenerative disease

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) are a group of disorders that progressively destroy and kill nerve cells in the brain and peripheral nervous system. NDDs are characterized by the loss of neurons, which can lead to impaired memory, cognition, behavior, and motor function. Symptoms include memory loss, moodiness, anxiety, depression, and agitation. There are over 600 known NDDs, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

From the Authors:

What if everything we have been taught about history is wrong? What if something beyond the parameters of human comprehension intentionally obfuscates our collective perception of reality?

We Need More People to Do Research!

Our book is written for the red pillers — those folks already awake. The Matrix Reloaded Yet Again is an essential starting point for readers who can do more extensive boots-on-the-ground research after reading our work.
