Mirror

There was once a town filled with different classes of criminals, kidnappers, theft, slanderer, murderer and all that belongs to a crime, name it, they got it. Their court judge had enough of the problems the town was facing. In some cases, few were evicted who have claimed that they were innocent. Some weren’t justified because of lack of evidence.

There was an old man who went to the bakery to buy a piece of bread for his grand daughter. He held with him his counted or budgeted amount of money, when a group of young people came to the bakery with him and have him as a hostage while their other fellow member pointed a gun at the cashier. And they took the money out of the machine and ran away. But the old man tried to fight back. They unmercifully shoot the old man at the back that lead him to spleen bleeding. He died laying down on the floor bathed by his own blood. Until that time, nobody could point out the suspects of the crime. The cashier and security guard didn’t recognized the suspects because they we’re wearing bonnets on their heads and hurriedly went out.

Another crime was a family who were rich and famous were the center of the kidnappers ideal prospect of kidnapping. They had a daughter who was studying on the University near their house, a walking distance away from their house. She would usually just walk in going home to maintain the atmosphere of being humble enough to just take few steps in heading home. His father have taught her not to be boastful of their current status because all will just pass away and they couldn’t bring their riches when they die. At the very day on the morning before she was kidnapped, she bid her mother goodbye with the sweetest kiss on her cheek. They could never have imagined that was the last time their daughter went home. It was already late at night when her parents started to worry and have contacted some of her close friends but she wasn’t with them. The kidnappers then called and asked for 2 million dollars as a ransom for the girl and if they failed she would be brutally killed. The girl’s parents were willing to pay the exact amount of money as asked. So, they both went to give the money and bring their daughter back. They went to an abandoned factory where the kidnappers held their daughter captive. As they headed there, the police officers had already been following them from behind to back up. The representative of the kidnappers went out to get the money from the parents. But when he heard the police patrol that came over he shot the girl at the head and went away.

The girl underwent comatose for quiet a long period of time. A witness have given a statement regarding the suspects who have parked their car just in front of the University during that day. They have waited there for the girl to go home. They have been observing her for few days until the time she was kidnapped. The witness gave the sketch of their faces and the plate number of the car they have been riding on. But the car was retrieved not far away from their town with nobody in it. Until that very time the crime was unresolved.

There was corrupt officer of their town. He would create strategic plan that would lie about their monthly income in the town and have the extra money handed over him to his own pocket. He wasn’t proven guilty because he has posted each of the official of the government their monthly share. But then one honest man stood up by him to prove him wrong and wouldn’t give in to bribery. He went to the court to file against the alleged corrupt official. But the said official fought back at his allegations by telling lies about him that he was under medication of having schizophrenia, the official showed falsified documents at the court with the signature of another bribed psychologist. The case was then closed and pleaded the corrupt official as not guilty because their evidence were strong enough to prove him wrong of the allegations he had at the corrupt official. The honest man was then filed a case of slander and had been imprisoned for few years. Another unfair and unresolved case.

The court judge went to a magician who had been trustworthy of the job the he was making. The court judge asked him to provide a mirror that would indicate each of the suspects on every crime’s face, appearance and of course location. It had to be done to stop the rampant crime the town was facing. But the magician still need to study few of his grandfather’s written books, and it was locked down at the basement of their house. He needed to wait for two more years to have the lock opened. So, they waited and many cases of the court we’re pending and still unresolved. After the long wait, those cases would then be put to justice. Families of the victims would rejoice that their family member would be at last given justice.

The mirror had limitations, it could only accumulate three cases on a week. So, the family members and or owners would be listed on the court’s big book to have their cases scheduled for trial. The listing would be from the oldest to the latest crime or cases. The procedure would be to let the victim stand in front of the mirror and it would bring back the day when the crime happened like a flashback or watching a true story movie at the mirror. It will then indicate the faces of the criminals, each one of them would be pointed out with their basic information, like their names, address ad their physical appearances. It will then conclude which location they are hiding at that very exact time. The police officers will hurriedly come to the said place to jail the criminals without any further court appeals because the mirror was accurate and thought to have told the truth as its purpose.

A psychologist who has been bothered by some women who get to consult her of desperate emotional problems. A client who had been married for ten years, went to consult for her help, she had been suffering emotional bombardment of her past. She had a boyfriend not long ago before she met her husband. Now her past is haunting her that she couldn’t sleep at night. She could dream of that ex-boyfriend of hers and somehow bothered her. At one time they saw each other and just stared and passed by themselves. Her feelings were awakened by such incident and reminded her of the past. Now, she want to fully forget everything and move on. But it seemed she got stuck up by the situation.

Another client was having pressures of her responsibility as a mother. She is worried about what will happen next. She is very careful about taking good care of her kids that they wont get sick and wanted them to always be strong and healthy. She worried about their future of who will take care of them, thoughts of what ifs? What if she will die tomorrow or her husband will get laid off from work, or they will have nothing to eat. So much worries and pressures she is giving her mind and body all stressed out.

The third client came and told her she was losing hope of her love life. She thought she wasn’t giving enough for their relationship or she wasn’t really being pampered well. She was optimistic of all things that all should properly fall into the right places and all that she had planned for will be done perfectly. That she would be depressed if things aren’t happening as she had planned.

Another girl came over and asked help of how to overcome too much thinking of his boyfriend. She was so jealous about every little thing that her boyfriend do and where he was going, to the extent that she have to go with him wherever he goes. Even at boys night out she would see to it that she was there and got her boyfriend rid of flirtatious girls their age. She was so possessive of her boyfriend that almost choke him. She needs help to change her mind setting and was afraid to lose her boyfriend.

A woman on her forties was still waiting for the right man for her. She had several suitors but still couldn’t find the right one of her choice. She had been choosy all those years and thought that she wouldn’t settle for less. She had the highest standards of the man she should get into a relationship with. She had her preferences based on fairy tales and happily every after relationships. She was afraid and careful to choose the right one.

The psychologist had really hard time to get through with each of their mind and heart battles. The main objective is to have the right mind setting and have the heart focused on doing and choosing the right thing. She had been having sessions with them to ease their troubles but seemed a long way to go for them to recover and get through with it.

She had been studying her books upon each of their cases. The first woman should choose not to get bothered of her ex-boyfriend and focus on his husband and family’s affairs. She should be barred from reminiscing those past events, for it has long been over with them and there is no way that they will be together again for the sake of the family. While the second woman should take one step at a time and should live on a daily basis not worrying about what tomorrow may bring. The third one should be contented of what she had and shouldn’t be pushing too hard on making everything perfect and everything will just fall out of its place  perfectly at the right time. The forth one should trust her boyfriend. Because after all, her boyfriend fell in love of who and what she was right from the beginning on the first day they met. And the last client should have stopped being choosy at her age and should have chosen the right one earlier and not at her older age.

She had been bothered about each of their cases and for the ones coming ahead. So, she had formulated an idea of having something to help ease their bothered minds and hearts. She had formulated a powder that would miraculously turn their worries at ease and their hearts would beat at the right person in the right time. It will be applied on their faces as instructed. The psychologist have chosen the powder because it is the most convenient kit a woman could carry on handy. Until then, they have used the miraculous powder to help them out of their problems. The psychologist became a businesswoman as well. She spent most of her time marketing her miraculous powder.

Somehow all of her fellow psychologists opposed of her new found idea because they have lost their clients and have chosen the alternative of psychology which was the miraculous powder to heal them. The psychologist who formulated the miraculous powder had also given them a chance to learn how to make the miraculous powder on their own, she opened an exclusive school for psychologists specializing on miraculous powder making. The idea or the formulation had remained exclusive for the fellow psychologists only. The widespread of miraculous powder’s popularity had made a vast change on the psychology profession.

Until the State issued a decree of making the miraculous powder as a course attached to psychology. It has been proven effective and people who had suffered different emotional problems had stood by using it and proclaiming how they were healed at an instant with the help of the psychologists guidance.

That was the beginning of the new tandem that helped people alleviate their own problems and succeeded in conquering them with the help of psychology and miraculous powder.
