This echo in the mirror-                  

                Is pulling me inside.

     I can't tear my eyes away,                

            I have nowhere to hide.


"This can't be right," I said as I gazed into my own reflection. I only saw static, glitching, and eyes that were so dark that if you stared long enough, something would stare back at you. As my fingers touched the surface of the glass, the figure in the mirror suddenly vanished.

"What is happening to me? What is happening to me?" I'm screaming in my mind, yet no sound comes out. It's cold and I'm afraid, but I dare to peer in the mirror once again. Something is here with me, their presence suffocating my lungs, their malevolence overwhelming me.


"Who's there?" I whisper.

The echo in the mirror.

"Who's there?" I whisper.

The echo in the mirror.
