Reflections of Darkness: The Haunted Mirror
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. I rubbed my eyes and blinked a few times, but the image before me remained the same. It was me, but not quite. The face in the mirror looked older, more haggard, with dark circles under the eyes and a thin, pale complexion. It was like looking at a version of myself from a nightmare.

The Broken Reflection
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. I saw it, in the mirror. It was in the old house on the abandoned side of town. Everyone in this suburb left in a hurry, some chased away by the costs of them, some because of the distance from the city that they worked at. But the main reason was more sinister: there was a serial killer that was shot dead in one of the homes. It was a huge scene: the cops surrounded the home of what was going to be the 66th victim of the serial killer, who was dubbed "The Night Shadow" by social media. The killer resisted arrest, and was promptly shot down by the squad of cops. The ongoing fervor from this situation was not helped by the rising cases of people going missing in the neighbourhood. Within 5 years, this once thriving neighbourhood was now unofficially quarantined off, restricted by anyone and everyone around the suburb. No one would even dare drive 5 minutes away from there. It was astonishing, really. There was an urban legend that had risen that said that The Night Shadow killer was still alive, or that the soul of the killer presided in that home. Mysterious things began to happen to people who went to the open houses for the home, or for those who trespassed and wanted to catch a thrill by exploring the haunted home. Some of the urban legends said that people drove themselves insane, disappeared, changed mentally and physically, and would lose their senses after visiting the home. Some even said the mirror that was left in the room where the killer was killed was haunted. Me and my friends didn't believe so, so we went to check ourselves.

Go Ask Alice
Introduction This story is for the Vocal "Broken Mirror" Challenge which you can read about below. The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own, not surprising because the silvering on the back of the glass was very worn and flaking, so I just saw a shadow reflected there. The glass was covered in hairline cracks so the actual mirror would have to be replaced, but the frame was what had drawn me to it.
