The Whispering Shadows

It was midnight, and Riya was alone in her room. The lights flickered, and a cold breeze swept through, even though all windows were shut. She heard a soft whisper, calling her name, “Riya… Riya…”
At first, she thought it was her imagination. But then, the mirror across the room started moving on its own, showing a shadowy figure standing behind her. Her heart raced, but she couldn’t look away.
Suddenly, her phone rang — but it was her own number calling. The screen showed a message:
"You shouldn’t be here. Leave… before it’s too late."
Riya froze. The whispering grew louder, now coming from inside the walls. Every shadow in the room stretched, twisted, and seemed to crawl toward her. She wanted to run, but her feet wouldn’t move.
The last thing she remembered before darkness swallowed her was the shadow whispering one final word:
"Forever."
The next morning, her room was empty. No sign of Riya — only the mirror, reflecting something that wasn’t there yesterday… watching.
