The estate sale was a bust. But, she had bought the mirror. It was old, ornate, and she liked the way the light played across the etched glass. Now, looking at herself in the mirror, she saw shadows.

She found the old newspaper clipping tucked away in the back of the mirror. A headline screamed about a brutal crime in her house. The victim had been found in the very room where she now kept the mirror.

She felt a wave of nausea. The reflection seemed to shift, the shadows growing more pronounced. She gripped the edge of the mirror, her knuckles white.
