PSYCHOLOGICAL TERROR by Samuel_orubuloye

In psychological terror, one fateful encounter with a mirror game pushes Sarah's life down a vortex of terror. What was at first seemingly an innocent dare soon turned into a full-blown psychological nightmare where reality distorts, shadows whisper, and her reflection is no longer just a figure in the glass. Haunted by the twisted version of herself, Sarah must navigate the sinister game where each decision might lead her further into the abyss of her own mind. As the line between reality and nightmare starts to blur, Sarah is then pushed into the most ghastly truth: this was not just survival but a test of her immortal soul. With every step, she struggles not only with the dark presence in the mirror but also with the demons that dwell within her. The more she delves deeper, the more it dawns on her that the reflection is not just some haunting figure but part of herself. Sarah must embrace the darkest sides of her psyche to get out of this nightmare, or else she will never leave. Psychological terror is a chilling psychological horror into the terrifying powers of the human mind, the fragility of reality, and that thin veil between light and darkness. Chilling and eerie, this is one story that will leave you guessing what's real and what's just lurking beyond the glass.
