Stream of consciousness is a relatively new technique in writing fiction which was first used by writers such Dorothy Richardson, Virginia Woolf, and James Joycein their works. The main feature of this technique is presenting a stream of thoughts and subjective images, often without a certain structure and coherence.The plot of the fiction transcends the boundaries of a normal setting—time and place—and the reader can get a relative understanding of the text only through the words spoken by characters.This style of writing was welcomed in our country from the very beginning of modern story writingby writers such as Sadegh Hedayat, Sadegh Chubak and Hooshang Golshiri.In Mirrors with Cover Doors, Houshang Golshirihas employed stream of consciousness and specifically soliloquy—a literary device based on the free association of meanings—to depict the complexities of the characters’ personalities in the story and to penetrate deep into their thought.

Mental narration is one of commonest methods of narrating in Modernist stories, in which the writer has centralized the character and all of the story provides a field to directly present the character's thought and his reflection in the level of prologue or conversation. Such approach naturally narrates the aesthetic organ, the novice epistemology, therefore the writer of mental narration has concomitantly presented five features of time, place, plot, characterization, the narrator's voice to access that organ. The quality of process not only makes the structure of literary works, but also it reveals the internal comprehension of writer, because the final aim of mental narration is to present the mental obsessions of characters, limitations, and their perceptions.

He, at first, matched the soliloquy of two characters (Mahdi and Gholam), in order to present their thoughts and reflections. The present study has based on the aforementioned, theoretical approach, to analyze mental narration in the short story of Tomorrow, it is an attempt to critically to depict the weak and strong points of mental narration in the work, in order to emancipate his success.

The present article studies one of the new methods of story narration which reviews the constant stream of thoughts and feelings inside the minds of the characters of the story.
