The Midnight Mirror

In the heart of a small town, there was an old, abandoned house that children dared not enter. At its center stood a grand, cracked mirror. Legend had it, at midnight, the mirror showed your darkest fear. One night, a skeptic named Jack decided to challenge the legend. As the clock struck twelve, he peered into the mirror. At first, he saw nothing but his reflection. Then, the glass rippled, and a shadowy figure emerged – a twisted version of himself, grinning menacingly. Jack tried to look away, but his gaze was locked. The figure reached out, pulling Jack into the mirror. The next morning, the house was empty, but the mirror now held Jack's terrified face, frozen in eternal horror. From that night on, anyone who dared look into the mirror would see Jack's face, warning them never to challenge the unknown.
