The Mirror That Showed Tomorrow’s Bruises

After moving into her new apartment, Cassie noticed faint purple marks on her reflection — bruises that weren’t on her real skin.

Each morning, they changed: a handprint, a scrape, a wound. By evening, the injuries would appear on her actual body.

She called a mirror specialist (yes, that’s a thing). He told her it wasn’t a mirror at all — it was a window.

The next morning, Cassie’s reflection was gone.

Instead, something else was standing there — holding her phone, wearing her smile.
