The mirrors secret


The Mirror’s Secret


In the heart of an old town stood a forgotten mansion, long abandoned and decaying. Locals whispered of a strange mirror hidden within its dusty rooms—an ornate relic rumored to hold dark powers. Most villagers avoided the house, believing it was cursed. But Evelyn, always drawn to mystery, found herself intrigued.


One rainy afternoon, she made her way to the mansion. The front door creaked ominously as she pushed it open, revealing a dim hallway lined with peeling wallpaper. Dust hung thick in the air, disturbed by her footsteps. She had heard the stories about the mirror. They said it wasn’t an ordinary one. Those who looked into it too long never quite came back the same.


Undeterred, Evelyn climbed the grand staircase, her curiosity growing with each step. The attic was where the mirror was said to be kept. She reached the top floor, found the trapdoor, and pulled it open, a gust of cold air meeting her as she ascended into the attic.


It was dark, lit only by the pale gray light streaming in through a small, cracked window. In the corner, draped with a faded sheet, stood the mirror. The frame was beautiful, but unsettling—ornately carved with strange, twisted faces and serpentine figures. Taking a deep breath, Evelyn pulled the sheet away, revealing the glass beneath.


At first, it seemed like a normal mirror. Evelyn’s reflection stared back at her—wide-eyed, curious, her features illuminated in the dim light. She looked closer, noting the fine details of the frame. But something about her reflection seemed… wrong. It felt like the eyes in the glass were watching her more intently than they should.


Evelyn blinked, and for a split second, her reflection didn’t.


She leaned in closer, her heart beating faster, trying to convince herself it was just her imagination. But as she stared, the reflection’s lips curled into a faint, sinister smile.


Evelyn gasped and backed away, but her reflection remained where it was—still smiling, its eyes darkening. She tried to look away, but found herself unable to move. The reflection’s hand reached out, pressing against the inside of the mirror’s glass.


And then it spoke—though its mouth barely moved.


“We’ve been waiting.”


Evelyn’s blood ran cold. The air in the attic seemed to thicken, growing heavy and oppressive. The reflection’s face twisted, becoming something inhuman, its smile too wide, its eyes hollow and black. With a crack, the mirror began to splinter, jagged lines spreading across the surface.


A shadowy figure appeared behind the glass, clawing at it from the inside. Its fingers, long and spindly, reached out, brushing against the cracks, eager to break free.


Panic surged through Evelyn. She tried to move, but her body refused to obey. Her reflection’s grin stretched impossibly wide as the shadowed figure pushed harder against the glass, a low, guttural whisper filling the room.


The mirror shattered.


Glass sprayed in every direction, but it didn’t cut her. Instead, the room around her began to blur, twisting into darkness. Evelyn felt something cold and suffocating wrap around her. She screamed, but the sound was swallowed by the void as she was pulled into the mirror.


Inside the glass, her reflection stepped forward, now free, and it looked back at Evelyn with a gleam of victory in its eyes. Trapped behind the broken shards, Evelyn banged on the mirror’s surface, but her reflection—now fully alive—simply turned away.


It left the attic and the mansion, wearing her face, living her life.


And in the mirror, Evelyn remained, screaming silently, forever trapped behind the glass.


Hope you enjoyed the story!

THE MIRROR

** The Mirror ** There was once a young woman named Claire who loved collecting antiques. One day, while browsing through a flea market, she came across an old, ornate mirror with a gilded frame that caught her eye. The vendor, an elderly woman with a mysterious air, told her that the mirror had once belonged to a wealthy family but had been sold after a tragedy in their mansion. Intrigued by its history, Claire purchased the mirror and brought it home. The mirror fit perfectly in her bedroom, adding a touch of elegance to the space. At first, it seemed like an ordinary piece of furniture, but soon strange things began to happen. Claire noticed the reflection in the mirror wasn’t quite right. At times, she saw shadowy figures lingering behind her, but when she turned around, no one was there. One night, as she lay in bed, she heard a faint whisper coming from the direction of the mirror. At first, she thought it was just her imagination. But the whispers grew louder, more insistent, ca...

THE WATCHER IN THE WINDOW

Image
The Watcher in the Window Eric and his wife Lisa had always dreamed of living in the countryside, away from the noise and chaos of the city. So, when they found a charming old farmhouse nestled on a quiet road surrounded by woods, it seemed perfect. The house was beautiful, if a bit worn, with large windows that overlooked a serene field. It was everything they had hoped for. The first few weeks were peaceful. They spent their days fixing up the house, enjoying the fresh air, and getting to know their new, quiet life. But as the days grew shorter and the nights darker, Eric began to notice something odd. Every evening, just after sunset, he’d feel a prickling sensation on the back of his neck, as though he were being watched. At first, he dismissed it as paranoia—just getting used to the isolation. But the feeling persisted. Whenever he looked out of the large windows facing the field, he felt certain that something—someone—was standing there, just beyond the edge of the woods. One nig...

The lantern in the fog

**The Lantern in the Fog** The thick fog rolled over the marsh, swallowing everything in its path. Maya had always been told to avoid the marsh at night, especially when the mist was heavy, but she didn’t believe in the old stories. They were just meant to scare children, she thought. But now, standing alone with the fog creeping toward her, the silence felt unnatural, as if the marsh itself were watching. She turned on her lantern and began to walk, the faint light barely piercing the dense fog. Her footsteps made dull splashes in the damp ground. As she ventured deeper, she noticed something odd—another light, flickering faintly in the distance. Someone else was out here. “Hello?” she called, her voice muffled by the mist. No answer. The light didn’t move, but it seemed to grow brighter the closer she got. As Maya approached, the light remained still, glowing faintly through the fog. She squinted, trying to make out its source, but all she could see was a dark silhouette behind it. I...
