The Eye in the Mirror (Horror Story)
The mind trembles when forced to look into itself. A mirror reflects the image of a body, yet some swear they have seen unspeakable things inside one — as if mirrors were doors to other worlds.
Pit, a young shepherd from Australia, rose early every morning to gather his flock and lead them to pasture. It was a hard life, carved from sacrifice and struggle, but it was his home, his work, his family. Life does not always grant a second chance.
As he was returning with his sheep one day, an elderly woman passing by stopped him and said:
“Pit, never look into a mirror at night. Unpleasant things may happen.”
The boy smiled.
“How so, ma’am?”
But when he turned, the woman was gone — vanished into nothing.
He thought the blazing sun must have clouded his sight for a moment and continued home.
He arrived at sunset, locked the animals in the barn, fed them, milked them, and stored the milk to sell at the general store the next morning. Some of it he kept for cheese.
He went to bed late that night.
After taking a shower, he stepped out of the bathroom and, without turning on the light, walked toward his bed. As he passed, he glanced at the mirror in the room.
