The Mirror of Mirah
Once, nestled between the jagged peaks of a forgotten mountain range, there stood an ancient mansion known as "Mirah's Keep." This was not a place whispered about in the bustling towns below, nor was it known to those who dared venture too far into the desolate wilderness. It was a relic, an enigma, existing in a realm untouched by time and civilization. Some claimed it was abandoned long ago, while others believed it was still inhabited, not by the living, but by the spirits of the long-dead.

The Voice at the Door
The rain was a steady, mournful rhythm against the windows, a soundtrack to the oppressive silence inside our small cottage. Three days. It had been three days since we’d buried my mother, Clara.

It was just supposed to be a dare. Nothing more. Twelve-year-old Zayan stood at the edge of the old mansion’s hallway, staring at the infamous door everyone called The Dark Room. His friends dared him to go inside for just five minutes. The challenge was simple — go in alone, close the door, and come out alive.
