Me and the Mirror

A copying game that speeds up until it falls apart into nonsense, then stops. About noticing when your body has had enough, from the inside.

1. 01

   The mirror and I are ready. Let's play. The first one to get it wrong loses.

   Touch your head. I touch my head. The mirror does too. Same!

3. 03

   Point to your nose. I point to my nose. The mirror does too. Same!

4. 04

   Faster. Move your arms! I move my arms. The mirror does too.

5. 05

   Faster! Stamp your feet! STAMP! STAMP! The mirror does too.

6. 06

   Faster, faster, faster! Head—nose—arms—feet!

7. 07

   Head—nose—arms—feet—head—nose—HEAD—

8. 08

   I touch my nose with my elbow.

9. 09

   I point to my feet with my head.

10. 10

    I stamp my arms. Wait—you cannot stamp your arms!

11. 11

    Turn around! Now stop.

12. 12

    The mirror stops too. Same silly face. Same silly arms.

13. 13

    Smile and breathe.

14. 14

    I can move my body—and I can stop it too.
