# The Shadow in the Mirror A woman named Emily began to notice that her mirror was acting strangely. At first, it was just a faint ripple in the glass, but soon the distortions grew more pronounced.
One night, Emily saw a shadowy figure standing just behind her reflection. The figure was tall and imposing, its presence seeming to fill the entire room.
As Emily watched in horror, the figure began to move closer, its face inches from hers. Emily tried to scream, but her voice was frozen in her throat.
The figure began to whisper in Emily's ear, its voice a low, menacing hiss. "I'm always with you," it said. "I'll never leave."
Emily tried to flee, but the mirror seemed to be pulling her back. She felt a strange, irresistible force drawing her closer to the glass.
As she looked deeper into the mirror, Emily saw that the shadowy figure was not just a reflection. It was a doorway to a dark and twisted world, a world that was waiting to consume her.
The last thing Emily saw was her own reflection, its eyes black as coal. And then, everything went black.
The next morning, the police found Emily's apartment empty, the mirror shattered on the floor. But as they looked closer, they saw something strange: a shadowy figure, standing just behind the broken glass.
