Reflections

For a moment, he freezes and is about to look over his shoulder at the man standing just behind him on the driveway. It only takes a few seconds for him to process his mistake as he realizes the man in the mirror is his own reflection. In his second year on the school basketball team, he still hasn’t grown accustomed to wearing a shirt and tie on game day.
