John Winston had a rough childhood. Traumatic experiences took a toll on his mind subconsciously, turning him into a ticking time bomb. John's dad walked out, his mother used mirrors to comfort him as she did drugs and the demonic rituals to hex John's Dad didn't make anything better. Now, 30 years later, John has become a scientist for a company know as Paralabs, where they study unearthly phenomenons. John has a weird obsession with mirrors but doesn't remember why. One night in the lab with a mirror triggers something that starts the process of John's fall. Is he being haunted, or has he just lost his mind?

Elena, John's wife, is supportive of John and his research, but slowly begins to resent him due to neglect and his obsession. To make matters worse, Elena begins to fall for Luke, a young man who she met through work. Things get hairy, and eventually all is exposed, sending John down a path he can not return from.

It was morning. I stood with closed eyes in the bathroom. I stood at the sink with a mirror in front of me. I felt thin and long fingers on my waist. I knew it was a dream. I felt talons. They didn't hurt me but I had a feeling if I opened my eyes they would. I felt breathing down my spine. Chills and fear shook my whole body. I couldn't look but I wanted so badly to see and know what or who was behind me. A tear of fear slowly slid down my cheek. I gasped in a low voice when I felt a tongue lick it away. More tears started falling when I felt a clawed finger brush the salvia away. I whimpered when I heard it speak: "It's okay. I'm only here to protect you and help you." Lissie is being stalked and she does not know what to do or who to tell. She does not know what is following her. She's got to be dreaming but when the thing following her keeps stalking she realizes that this might not be a dream. But what is it? Where does it come from? Why follow her?

There's something lurking in the woods. Sent to investigate the rumors of human experimentation surrounding an esteemed genetics laboratory in the middle of the Northern California forest, Special Agent Anna Volkova quickly realizes that this new assignment has her in over her head. With women vanishing, and the townspeople deathly afraid of the woods blanketing the small town of Blackwater, she knows this area isn't nearly as innocent as it may seem. The forest is hiding something, and she'll do whatever it takes to find out what. What she doesn't realize, however, is how far some people will go to keep their sins, and everyone who knows about them, buried. ~*~ Sickening cracks of bone filled the once-silent room, accompanied by the rapid beat of my heart and his echoing cries of anguish. Without warning, his head snapped up, and I could finally see his face clearly. My breath caught in my throat. His once warm amber eyes faded, tainted with a blood red that slowly dominated his irises, painting a feral crimson gaze that was now focused entirely on me. ---------- A new chapter will be posted every Friday!
