Wish
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. It was strange having to see this image. I had looked into this mirror thousands of times and never before seen this. The face in the mirror was ghoulish and looked like an ugly troll. Is that what I have become? I went to bed and closed my eyes. This must be a dream, tomorrow I will wake up and everything will be normal. The problem is, I had transformed in order to achieve my waking dreams.

Disassociating Mirrors
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. It wasn't any one person's reflection. The smooth glass appeared splintered into a million tiny reflections of a million tiny fragments of a million different faces. The splinters both sharp and fluid as the mirror pulsed in something that seemed like a rhythm that I couldn't quite identify.

Trapped in an Alternate Reality
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. At first, I thought it was just my imagination playing tricks on me. But as I stared into the glass, the figure staring back at me began to move on its own. Its movements were jerky and unnatural, like a marionette being controlled by an unseen force.

Broken Mirror
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. I froze, staring at the glass as a creeping feeling of unease washed over me. The figure staring back at me had the same features as me, but the expression was different. It was twisted into a malevolent grin, eyes dark and piercing. It felt like it was mocking me, taunting me.

Deep in the heart of the woods, there stands an abandoned house on the hill. For years, it has been left to decay, its once-beautiful exterior now a crumbling facade. But it's not just the deteriorating structure that makes the locals steer clear of the place - it's the eerie feeling that emanates from within its walls. Many say it's haunted, that the spirits of those who died in the house still linger. And they say that if you're brave enough to enter, you'll never come out the same.
