This morning I was filled with fear

I could feel something hideous near

I'd only been in the shower

for less than an hour

When I saw this wrinkly thing in my mirror

    Haha, classic horror story with a hilarious twist! That "wrinkly thing" reveal got me—relatable and funny. Mirror jump scares are the worst!
