PH"The Reflection"
Mia avoided mirrors at night. It was a silly habit, but something about them unsettled her.
One evening, after brushing her teeth, she glanced up. Her reflection wasn’t moving.
Her breath caught. She lifted her hand. The reflection didn’t follow.
Then it smiled.
Mia stumbled back, heart pounding. The reflection tilted its head, watching her like prey.
"You shouldn’t have looked."
The lights flickered.
The mirror shattered.
But Mia's reflection remained, standing in the broken glass, grinning.
And then it stepped out.
