DON’T LOOK AWAY – A Horror Short You’ll Be Too Scared to Finish

**Title: Don't Look Away**

Maya found the mirror in her grandmother's attic — tall, cracked, and covered in a thick velvet cloth. She pulled it off, instantly regretting it. Her reflection didn’t match her.

It smiled when she didn’t.
It blinked when she stared.
It whispered when she screamed.

Terrified, she backed away, but the voice echoed from the glass:
**“Don’t look away. I need your eyes.”**

She turned to run — and felt a cold hand on her shoulder. Her reflection was gone.

She wasn’t.

Now the mirror shows *her*—trapped inside, pounding silently. And it waits... for the next curious soul.

**Don’t look away.**
