England twin ghost villages
In 1943, residents of Imber and Tyneham were given a month to evacuate. Eighty years on, they remain uninhabited ghost villages – a testament to the communities that vanished.

Mirror on the Wall
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. I stared at the stranger before me, trying to make sense of what I was seeing. The face that stared back at me was older, wearier, and somehow sadder than my own. It was as though I was looking at a version of myself from another time, or perhaps another universe altogether.

Brocken Mirror
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. At first, I thought it was just a trick of the light or a smudge on the glass, but as I leaned in closer, I could see that it was something else entirely.

Caution: objects are closer than they appear
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn’t my own. In a split second my scream escapes me and I instinctively grab the blanket off the bed and drape it over the mirror. My heart is racing as I try to slow my breathing. Breathe in, breathe out, she’s not real.

The Caretaker of Cavendish Manor. Top Story - March 2023.
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. She had the same brown hair, same blackheads, same tired eyes looking back at me, but somehow I knew she was a fake. It was in the expression on her face, as if she was keeping a secret. I scoffed at her, spraying the antique mirror with some cleaning solution and wiping it with a cloth. The rest of the parlor’s furnishings were shrouded in dust covers. I thought it best to keep them covered and only use what was necessary.

Save one Bullet for Yourself
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. The anger boiling out of my heart had frozen my face into a stone mask of fury and indignation. 'Who did he think he was?' I raged internally. 'He was not going to get away with this.'

Eisoptrophobia
"The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own." I said it quietly, almost nonchalantly. It was a sentence and a sentiment that sounded insane; I was guessing Killaine had heard plenty of those. He was a psychiatrist after all, and the grey in his hair told me how many decades he'd been at it.
