Yes..

You continue, getting closer to the mirror before breaking it into shards. You carry one around with you to look around corners. Others can be used as weapons.

You lose track of time quickly. Has it been days? Months? Years? You're never hungry and you no longer sleep. You learn how to walk very quietly. Each step you take is silent. Your hearing is also highly developed. You avoid the monsters and the other creatures, hearing them long before they ever see you. You've also started training. Instinctually practicing movements. Punches, kicks, leaps, dodges. You begin to convince yourself you could beat a monster wandering these halls.

Suddenly, you hear a shriek. A human scream. You run, completely silently towards the noise. A woman is running from a monster. Dozens of long arms, each ending in a claw around a twisting body. The creature is like if a child tried to glue a millipede back together. It's face is apelike, baring sharp fangs with three large orange eyes. It's fast, and it's mouth is open, ready to feed.

You reveal yourself, holding a handful of mirror shards. You start running up the side of the wall, and then throw the shards into the creatures eyes. It screams, now blinded, and thrashing. The woman hides behind a wall, in safety.

You hate looking at this thing. It's shrieks annoy you. With faith in your abilities, you charge it.

You dodge each thrash predictably. You grab one of its legs, and begin stabbing the creature with its own claw until it finally collapses. "Stop stabbing yourself." Your voice is raspy. You haven't talked in so long.

You hear a giggle behind you.

"Thank you for saving me." You turn, and see a beautiful Indian woman, dressed in a sari. Every feature of her is perfect.

"Thank you for being so beautiful." Your throat feels sore from talking. It comes out very quiet.

The two of you share a stare, and a silence. There is a deep animal magnetism between you.

"Why are you here?" she asks.

"I wound up here by accident. Ended up ruining my life."

"How long have you been here?" she looks concerned.

"Decades? I feel like I was always here. I had a dream once, that I died here from trying to leave. The last thing I remember, is that I was going to have sex with dozens of nurses. Each one more beautiful than the last."

"What is a nurse?"

"You don't know what a nurse is?"

She looks at you puzzled. She walks towards you.

"Relax" she says, calmly. "And sit down."

You do so. Her voice is calm and relaxing, but you feel like it is an order. You're not sure if you're down bad after not seeing a woman for decades, or you trust her.

She grabs your hand, and then clasps it between both of her hands. In this moment, you are connected. Your soul, the charioteer driving two horses suddenly falls backwards, soaring through her memories. The baked bricks, irrigation, a civilization by the river. You see the woman, she performs magic. Healing. Building. You see two men, both strong and handsome. She chooses one of them, and the other strikes him down. She cries out, and you land in your chariot. She is still tightly holding your hand.

"You're from the future" she says.

"And you're from, the Indus Valley Civilization."

She looks sad. "I performed magic and miracles, helping people. I had many suitors, but the most tenacious were two brothers. When I finally made up my decision, his brother had murdered him in our home. In my sadness and grief, I ran away, searching for my husband, wishing he would return to me. But-"

"But you can't undo the past."

"I think I did find him. When I touched you, when I looked into your memories, I saw the soul of my husband."

She looks at you. "He was also filled with lust, kind but not temperate."

"Are you saying that I'm your husband?"

"Do you know my true name?"

You hold her hand. "Maya." Even in your raspy voice, you feel the power in your words.

"Purusha" As she speaks, you feel a shiver along your spine.

You hear noises. Monsters.

"We have to go." You whisper. "Hop on my back."

She jumps on your back, and you run through the backrooms, completely silent. Her arms are tight around you. You no longer feel alone. Suddenly, you reach a dead end. As you turn around, you see an army of creatures.

"I'll have to beat all of them. I'm not planning on dying. Not when I have something to live for."

"Not necessarily." Maya says. She begins glowing, and you and her fall through the cosmos. You say goodbye to the backrooms as Maya chooses the final destination.
