I decided to just stand still and call out names. "Maya? Jay?" My own voice came back to me from six directions, but slightly delayed, like the mirrors were repeating it on purpose. Then one voice answered that wasn't an echo. It was mine, and it said, "Over here."
Something told me not to trust my own voice. I clamped both hands over my mouth and backed away from the sound. The fake "me" called louder, then angrier, then started sobbing in my exact voice. I kept moving toward the real draft of cold air and didn't stop until I tasted salt and saw stars. I made it out. I never told the others what I heard.
