Fire (a short story)

He forced himself awake from a disturbing dream.
Although there was no need, he decided to have a pee and then try to clear the cobwebs in his head with a handful of cold water.

He looked in the bathroom mirror and was relieved to see himself rather than one of the creatures from his dream.

He smiled when he saw the newspaper clipping that was pasted on the bottom left corner of the mirror. Nice memories. Now he knew that all was well.

And then he remembered that the clipping, along with the bathroom mirror and half of what a person collects in the course of a lifetime had been lost in a fire.
