El espejo / The mirror

EL ESPEJO

     El camaleón se camufló al ver que algo venía hacia él; cambió, pero el otro había hecho exactamente lo mismo en color, posición e incluso en movimiento. Se asustó porque se enfrentaba a un enemigo peligroso, que usaba sus mismas estrategias de sobrevivencia; ahí decidió atacar, sacó la lengua, apuntó a la frente del extraño y disparó y al ver que la lengua del enemigo venía hacia él, se hizo a un lado, enrolló su arma y retrocedió. Nuevamente el otro hizo lo mismo, entonces el camaleón se fue retirando poco a poco mientras veía que el extraño también se retiraba.

     Por la tarde le tocó pasar por el mismo lugar, cierto temor invadía sus sentidos, pero ya no estaba el espejo, alguien lo había recuperado.

THE MIRROR

     The chameleon camouflaged itself when it saw that something was coming towards it; it changed, but the other one had done exactly the same in color, position and even movement. He got scared because he was facing a dangerous enemy, who was using his same survival strategies; he decided to attack, stuck out his tongue, aimed at the stranger's forehead and shot and as he saw that the enemy's tongue was coming towards him, he moved aside, rolled up his gun and backed up. Again the other did the same, then the chameleon gradually retreated as he saw the stranger also retreating.

     In the afternoon it was his turn to pass by the same place, a certain fear invaded his senses, but the mirror was no longer there, someone had recovered it.

Ja, ja, ja. Excelente microrrelato sobre la percepción y la consciencia. Me pregunto, ¿cuántos experimentan como el camaleón?
Saludos

Buen juego narrativo, tanto con el recurso del espejo como con el del camaleón, que logras hacer confluir muy sugerentemente. Saludos, @jesuspsoto.

Sometimes we are the most critical with ourselves, sometimes we deceive ourselves with what we see and we evaluate the situation in the wrong way, as if we want to accept what we are not because we want to be different, and sometimes to be accepted by others we move away from our essence, becoming our own enemies, the mirror can tell us what we are, but in the end we are what we want to reflect. Good work

It made me laugh. The poor chameleon fighting with itself, I really liked how you kept the suspense until the last and revealed the mystery. Very well done.

Thanks for sharing.
Good day.
