a woman standing in front of a mirror

In a quiet town, a young woman named Sarah moved into an old house. She loved the charm, but soon strange things began to happen: shadows flitted past her windows, whispers echoed through the halls at night.One evening, while unpacking, she found an old mirror hidden in a closet. Intrigued, she hung it up in her bedroom. That night, she woke to see a figure behind her in the reflection--a woman in a tattered dress, her eyes hollow and pleading.Frozen in fear, Sarah turned around, but the room was empty. The next night, the figure returned, closer this time, her mouth moving silently. Sarah realized she had to leave, but when she tried, the door wouldn’t budge.In the mirror, the woman smiled grimly, and Sarah finally understood: she wasn’t the new occupant. She was the next.
