Many characters I meet have not given their names yet hence 'unknown' the most recent person I have met who has yet to give their name is the from the excerpt below.
He started up the hallway concentrating down on the floor at his feet. The lights were turned down low, he noticed, up until the corner he headed toward. Similarly the lights behind appeared to light themselves gradually after he had passed. ____ tried to recall why he had begun on this path but nothing came to mind that made sense. Lights reflected off of some surface upahead and ____ brought himself to a stop examining the way the light reflected. It seemed to bounce in his direction and refract, becoming brighter. _____ concentrated upon it twisting his head sideways. Not a mirror...definitely not a mirror. Excellent. ____ carried on soon coming to the corner. Behind him the lighting of the way quickened. He turned on his feet and watched the light coming for him and realised too late what lay upon the walls. Moments after cracking sounded and he noted a snaking line spreading throughout the glass until it reached the centre and splintered. ____ looked at himself, his broken reflection parting and breaking his face. He caught something in his vision. ____ found an eye looking back at him, slightly slanted by the crack it sat on.
______. Found in Mirrors.
