The Window That Looked Into Tomorrow

Each night, it showed what would happen next — until it showed the end.

By GoldenSpeechPublished 3 months ago 1 min read

In an abandoned farmhouse near Devon, there’s a single intact window. The locals call it “the prophet’s pane.” At night, if you stare through it, you don’t see your reflection — you see the next day.

Farmers used it for weather. Lovers used it to plan encounters. Then someone saw his own death — and it came true.

When the pane was removed for study, it showed nothing but fog. Until the lab lights flickered, and one researcher gasped: “It’s showing me.”

The next morning, she didn’t arrive at work. The glass turned black.

Now, anyone who looks into it sees the same thing: an empty farmhouse, a broken chair, and a single window looking back.

It’s not showing the future anymore. It’s showing what happens after.
