REFLECTIONS  by Francizdolla23
8 parts Complete Mature
Emily Brooks, seeking a fresh start, moves into a charming but old apartment. In the living room, she discovers an antique mirror, accompanied by a cryptic note: "The mirror shows what the eyes cannot." Initially dismissing it as a quirky piece of furniture, Emily soon experiences unsettling occurrences. Her reflection begins to act independently, displaying disturbing and eerie scenes not present in reality. Curious and alarmed, Emily learns from her elderly neighbor, Mrs. Hargrove, that the mirror was once owned by Lydia Darrow, a woman who vanished mysteriously years ago. The rumor is that Lydia was obsessed with the mirror, which is said to be cursed. Driven by a need for answers, Emily investigates Lydia's history and discovers hidden symbols on the mirror's frame that seem to suggest a dark, arcane connection. As the mirror's influence grows, Emily's reality distorts, revealing her deepest fears and regrets. Her confrontation with the mirror reveals a nightmarish alternate dimension where she encounters Lydia Darrow, now a spectral figure trapped within. Lydia's despairing message hints that Emily may be the next victim of the mirror's curse. Desperate to escape, Emily faces her own inner demons and finds the strength to break free. She returns to her reality, only to find the mirror calm and seemingly benign. However, as she prepares to leave the apartment, her reflection in the mirror gives a knowing smile and whispers, "It's not over." Emily leaves, but the mirror's eerie allure remains, hinting at its persistent, dark influence. The story concludes with lingering suspense about whether the mirror's malevolent force has truly been vanquished or if it is merely biding its time for another victim

Reflected sorrows

40 parts Complete

A lost, grieving soul enters the jaws of an insatiable beast, where the eyes of uncannily well-preserved paintings reach for her weary, lonesome corpse like crows. This mansion has no history to be felt or heard; it's as if the rooms are hollow and ravenous, their stale tranquillity broken by irregular draughts that send shudders down her spine as oppressive as the clattering of a needle to the floor. There lie secrets. Secrets and betrayals. In the mirrors, familiar faces crawl out from their eternal doom to grasp her pale skin and whisper trenchant advice into her ears with a sickly tongue, hearing her heartbeat like the ticking of a clock; candles that breathe within her. Those faces have lain so long in wait among the stitches and threads of madness, waiting for her arrival. Though the hours crawl onwards, she remains, watching and listening to the whispers of sorrow that lurk behind her at every acrimonious gust of wind howling through the mouth of the great beast. What awaits her within these halls, engulfed in oppressive, potent mists of grief? Who may she meet in the reflections of trembling malady? Through it all, that face haunts her every step. Yellow skin and seething eyes. Ink-stained and bloody. Cackling as insidious as death. Woeful as grief.
