Empath

Chapter 1

My hands were shaking as I looked in the mirror. My eyes looked completely black, which was weird. Even though my eyes seemed closed, I could still see everything around me clearly. I wanted to scream, but I was scared of waking up my mother. So instead, I covered my mouth with my hands to keep myself quiet. The room felt strange, with shadows moving oddly on the walls.I took a step back, trying to get away from the weird reflection in the mirror.

After I tried to scream but kept quiet, everything went back to normal. The blackness in my eyes disappeared, and my room looked usual again. I slowly lowered my hands, still feeling shaky. I looked at myself in the mirror, wondering what had just happened. It felt like I saw something hidden about myself or maybe a glimpse into another world. The mirror didn't give me any answers.

I glanced at my closed bedroom door, realizing that I had to keep this strange thing to myself. I didn't want to worry my mom with something I couldn't explain. As I walked away from the mirror, I felt the weight of the secret, like I was standing at the edge of a mysterious journey hiding just below the surface of my regular life.
