The House That Watched Its Owners

In the countryside, there stood a house built entirely from salvaged mirrors — its walls gleamed day and night, reflecting sky, forest, and faces. The architect, obsessed with surveillance, said he wanted a house that “saw everything.”

For years, the family inside lived surrounded by their own reflections — until one by one, those reflections began to lag. When the mother smiled, her mirrored self didn’t. When the father left for work, his reflection stayed.

Eventually, the windows darkened — and on certain nights, travelers see silhouettes inside, moving perfectly out of sync with the wind.
