When I Look In The Mirror

Today I decided to go out for errands to help my mom out who was sick at the time, I went and bought her some meds along with groceries and new clothes for me and her, I checked the cashier who looked pale and their eyes were wide and they only mumbled a few words so when I ask what’s she saying she went over to my ear and whispered “the mirror, the mirror, the mirror” she was swaying back in fourth like she saw something terrifying and when I went to another cashier and ask what’s wrong with them she said to not worry about it and move on.


After thst strange interactions I went home and sat my mom down for dinner where we had chicken noodle soup woth crackers, I carried her to bed after we watched a documentary and told her to feel better soon, after I closed the my moms bedroom door behind me the tv was still on so I went to the living room to turn the tv off until I saw the face of a person thst looked familiar?


They were wearing a target uniform and looked healthy and normal in the picture taking from the documentary and the caption saying “an non binary teenager name Angel was found dead outside at the woods, rangers and officers are still finding out the mysterious caused of death” as they kept describing them I remember the victim from the day ago who looked very frightened, I shut off the tv feeling guilty about this person wishing that I could just help them out but I couldn’t understand a word they were saying.


The next day I let my friends take care of my mom while going out and investigating this “mirror” Angel mumbled about, once I drove by the target from yesterday I was completely empty and the only people who were there are police officers, I drove to the forest where Angel’s body was and parked my car anf got out looking around hoping there were no officers or rangers coming up to me and asking questions about what I’m doing here, as I walked pass the cross line I suddenly was hit by sudden gravity pulling me towards me straight a little bit but I just ignored it as the wind and I kept hearing distend screams from somewhere in the forest.


Few hours of walking down the path I suddenly see an chalk outline of what looks like the same height as Angel but could be another victim, right beside the chalk outline there was a note writing that says “I can’t believe I saw something in the mirror” writing over and over and over again.


I take more steps closer to the faded light until I peek my head and saw mirror it looks Victorian but I live in the west where we still have Victorian architectures so I wasn’t bother by it but it kinda give me creeps for it being in the middle of the woods alone. I took a few steps backwards, taking deep breaths to have the courage of looking at it and once I step towards the mirror and looked at the reflection of the mirror was hit by shock and fear in my eyes.


I left the woods with the same pale face and wide eyes as I walked towards my car, open the car door and close it and drove off, once I got back home I couldn’t sleep that night anf was paranoid and the last thing I did was writing a letter that said “their coming” over and over again.


After my disappearance and my body being found by officers the legends of the mirror will forever haunt the main area of my town.
