The Otherworldly Attack
It was a dark and stormy night, and Samantha was driving home from a long day at work. The rain was coming down in sheets, and the wind was howling like a pack of wolves. She had just passed a sign for a town she had never heard of before when her car suddenly sputtered and died.

The Specter in the Mirror
"The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own." I stared at the unfamiliar visage, unable to comprehend the ghastly image that now stared back at me. The eyes were sunken and hollow, shadows of the lively orbs that once shone with such vibrancy. The gaunt cheeks and pallid complexion appeared as though they belonged to a corpse rather than a living being.

Broken Glass
Torture Through the Glass The mirror showed a reflection that wasn’t my own. I avoided it at all costs, but the fear alone kept me looking over at this stranger, haunting my existence every day. The layers seemed to go deeper by day, pulling me into the shattered web.

Cerebral Fractures
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. I saw a destitute environment wherein a pale-skinned, sickly woman wept in the somber background. Suddenly, she looked up and her eyes peered directly into mine. Her soulless gaze gave intimations of a dislocated mind, as if this woman’s reality was a nightmare that could torment even the minds of creatures from a nightmare. Coupled with her eerie smirk, there was no doubt in my mind that this woman’s mental state was completely fractured.

Flaws
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. Except in a way, it was. It was me, except...except...well, it was me. All of my flaws so obvious. My hair stuck up in all the wrong places and I had to run a hand through my own to make sure it wasn't doing the same thing. The annoying spot that sat in the most awkward place on my left nostril and just wouldn't go away, had magnified in the mirror's version of me. Instead of a small irritation, it seemed to draw most of the attention. My teeth were horribly crooked and I couldn't help running my tongue over my own teeth to see if they felt as bad as they looked in my reflection.

The House
As soon as the sun set and the moon rose high in the sky, the small town of Ravenwood became cloaked in darkness, casting an eerie shadow over its streets. People hurried home, locking their doors tightly, afraid of what might lurk in the darkness. But there was one house that no one dared to enter, a house that stood at the edge of town, abandoned and decrepit for years.

The Mirror Does Not Reflect My Face
It started with a dare. My friends and I were at a Halloween party, and we were all dressed up in spooky costumes. I was a vampire, complete with fake fangs and a cape. We were all having a great time, dancing and drinking and telling scary stories. But then one of my friends suggested that we play a game.

The Offer
The Mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. I contemplated that line from one of the horror movies I had watched a while ago as I wondered how I was going to cleanse and get rid of the large mirror that had been gifted to my husband Rik and me.
