I was afraid of mirrors.
It sounded foolish, even to me.
I knew that there wasn’t anything to be scared of, yet I couldn’t look into one without thinking about the last time that I had been at the amusement park and gone into the hall of mirrors.
That was when I saw him.
He looked exactly like me, yet different at the same time.
It took me a second to realize who he was, and when I did, it was too late.
He touched the glass and came spilling out, a doppelganger of evil.
He chased me down the corridors of mirrors and disappeared through a cloud of smoke that had appeared out of nowhere.
I didn’t tell anyone what had happened, yet I couldn’t go near a mirror without remembering it.
Years later, Ethan Carter convinced me to go back to the old amusement park with him and Lily Chen.
It had been shut down for a long time, but we were able to get in.
The three of us walked through the silent rides, searching for something to do.
We were bored and looking for excitement when we came across the entrance to the hall of mirrors.
Ethan gave me a skeptical look as he gestured towards the entrance.
I stood frozen at the entrance, my heart pounding against my ribs.
The faded paint and broken glass of the hall’s facade loomed before us.
Ethan placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder as Lily shone her flashlight into the darkness ahead.
The beam caught fragments of our reflections in the cracked mirrors inside.
My phone buzzed in my pocket - a text from Jason saying he was running late but on his way.
I took a step backward, stumbling over loose gravel.
The old ticket booth creaked in the wind, and something metallic clattered inside the hall.
My heart pounded in my chest, and Ethan gripped my shoulder to steady me.
Lily’s flashlight beam danced across the floor, illuminating the broken glass of the shattered mirrors.
The entrance’s metal frame creaked, and a gust of wind rushed past us into the hall.
I pulled out my phone and texted Jason our location, but the message failed to send - no signal.
"We should wait for him outside," Lily suggested, her voice barely above a whisper.
A distant laugh echoed through the hall - a laugh that sounded exactly like mine, but it didn’t come from my mouth.
Ethan’s grip on my shoulder tightened, and the sound grew louder.
My reflection in a nearby intact mirror panel moved independently of me, smirking at me.
"Did you hear that?" Ethan asked, his voice tense with disbelief.
Lily nodded, her eyes wide. "It's like your reflection has a mind of its own."
I swallowed hard, trying to keep my voice steady. "That's because it does."
I forced my trembling legs to move forward, and Ethan and Lily flanked me as we cautiously entered the hall.
The beam of Lily’s flashlight danced across the broken mirrors, casting eerie shadows on the walls.
I approached the mirror where I had seen my reflection earlier.
The beam illuminated my reflection’s twisted grin, and it grew wider with every step I took.
My heart pounded in my chest, and I raised my hand toward the glass surface.
The reflection didn’t mirror my movement - instead, it pressed its palm against the other side of the mirror.
The glass felt ice-cold beneath my fingertips.
Behind me, Ethan whispered a warning to be careful, but I kept my hand steady.
My breath fogged the mirror’s surface, and I leaned closer, my eyes locked with my reflection’s.
The reflection’s grin stretched unnaturally wide, beyond what was humanly possible.
Lily’s flashlight beam wavered, casting dancing shadows across the broken mirrors that surrounded us.
Ethan’s grip on my shoulder tightened as I whispered the question, my voice barely audible in the dusty air.
The reflection tilted its head at an impossible angle, maintaining eye contact with me as it raised its other hand to tap against the glass.
The sound echoed through the hall like breaking ice, making Lily jump and accidentally drop her flashlight.
Ethan’s voice was a shaky whisper, "What does it want from you?"
Lily fumbled in the dark, retrieving her flashlight, "Maybe it wants to switch places."
I felt a chill run down my spine as I replied, "Or maybe it’s trying to warn us about something."
I pressed my palm harder against the mirror’s surface, and the cold seeped into my bones.
"What do you want?" I demanded through gritted teeth.
The reflection’s grin stretched even wider, and cracks began to form in the glass where our hands met.
The cracks spread like a spiderweb, and Lily gasped behind me.
Ethan tried to pull me away, but I remained frozen in place.
The cracking sound grew louder, and the air around us dropped in temperature.
My reflection’s eyes turned completely black as it pushed against the glass from its side, making the cracks expand further.
Ethan's voice was urgent, "We need to get out of here now!"
Lily's flashlight flickered as she backed away, "But what if leaving makes it worse?"
I shook my head, feeling the cold seep deeper, "No, I think staying is exactly what it wants."
