The Ghost in the Mirror Shaina Tranquilino September 10, 2024

Detective James Harlan had seen his fair share of strange cases, but nothing could have prepared him for the mirror. It was a cold, gray evening when he first encountered it. The sky threatened rain, and the shadows of the city loomed long and distorted as Harlan stood in front of the old curiosity shop on the corner of Willow Street. The store was set to be demolished the following week, its last few days spent selling off an assortment of peculiar antiques and oddities.

Harlan wasn't one for curiosities, but something had drawn him inside—an invisible pull that led him through the cluttered aisles to the back of the store, where an ornate, dusty mirror stood propped against the wall. The mirror’s frame was heavy and intricately carved, dark wood curling into what seemed like a thousand twisted faces, each one more grotesque than the last.

The shopkeeper, a frail old man with sunken eyes and trembling hands, had appeared beside him as if summoned by his curiosity.

"Ah, the mirror," the shopkeeper rasped, his voice a mere whisper of sound. "You're the first person to show any interest in it. Most people avoid it… say it gives them the creeps."

Harlan, skeptical but intrigued, asked, "What's the story behind it?"

The old man hesitated, his eyes narrowing as he studied the detective’s face. "They say it’s cursed, haunted by a restless spirit. It belonged to a woman who… who was murdered many years ago. They say if you look into it long enough, you can see the past… see things that shouldn’t be seen."

Despite the chill creeping up his spine, Harlan found himself drawn to the mirror. It was as if it had a voice of its own, whispering to him, beckoning him to look deeper, to see what lay beyond the surface.

The shopkeeper’s bony hand gripped Harlan’s arm, his voice a desperate warning. "Take it if you must, but know this: the mirror demands a price. It will give you what you seek, but it will take something in return."

Harlan, always one to dismiss superstition, paid the old man and took the mirror with him. He told himself it was just a peculiar antique, nothing more. A piece of history to decorate his apartment.

But as soon as he hung the mirror on the wall of his living room, strange things began to happen.

At first, it was subtle—a flicker of movement in the corner of his eye, a faint whisper on the edge of his hearing. But as the days passed, the visions became clearer, more intense.

One night, as he sat alone with a glass of whiskey, Harlan found himself staring into the mirror, unable to look away. The room around him began to fade, and in its place, a scene unfolded within the glass.

He saw a woman, her face pale and frightened, running through the woods. Her breath came in ragged gasps as she glanced over her shoulder, terror etched into her features. Behind her, a figure loomed, a man with a knife glinting in the moonlight.

Harlan watched in horror as the man caught up to her, dragging her to the ground. The woman’s screams echoed in his mind as the knife descended, again and again, until the woods were silent.

The vision faded, leaving Harlan staring at his own haunted reflection, his heart pounding in his chest. He recognized the scene—it was an unsolved murder from twenty years ago, a cold case that had haunted the precinct for years.

Driven by an obsession he couldn’t explain, Harlan dove into the old case files the next day. The details matched perfectly. The victim, the location, even the murder weapon. The mirror had shown him the truth, the answer to a mystery that had eluded detectives for decades.

He began to spend every night in front of the mirror, searching for more. And the mirror obliged. Each time he looked into it, another crime unfolded before his eyes—unsolved murders, disappearances, cold cases long forgotten by the world. Harlan solved them all, bringing justice to victims whose voices had been silenced for too long.

But with each case he solved, Harlan felt something slipping away from him. His energy, his spirit, his very sense of self seemed to dwindle. The mirror took its toll, draining him bit by bit, just as the old shopkeeper had warned.

One evening, after months of this relentless pursuit, Harlan looked into the mirror and saw a face he recognized all too well—his own.

He was standing in his apartment, holding a gun, his eyes empty and hollow. Before him, a man lay crumpled on the floor, a pool of blood spreading beneath him. Harlan’s hand trembled as he watched the scene unfold, as he watched himself commit a crime that hadn’t yet happened.

He staggered back from the mirror, his breath coming in ragged gasps. The mirror had shown him the future, and it was a future he could not escape.

Desperate, he tried to rid himself of the mirror, to break the curse that had ensnared him. He took a hammer to it, smashing the glass into a thousand glittering shards. But even in the broken pieces, he could still see the scenes playing out, could still hear the whispers of the past echoing in his mind.

There was no escape. The mirror had claimed him, body and soul.

In the days that followed, Harlan’s colleagues noticed the change in him. He became distant, paranoid, his once sharp mind dulled by an unseen weight. They didn’t understand what had happened to him, didn’t know about the mirror or the horrors it had revealed.

And then, one night, Harlan disappeared.

They found his apartment empty, the shattered mirror lying in a heap on the floor. But of Harlan, there was no sign. It was as if he had vanished into thin air.

The cold cases he had solved were closed, the victims finally at peace. But the price had been steep, too steep. Detective James Harlan was never seen again, his fate sealed within the haunted glass that had lured him to his doom.

And somewhere, in a forgotten corner of the city, a new curiosity shop opened its doors, with a new old mirror standing in the back, waiting for its next victim.

Kingdom Sims Pt. 26

MATURE CONTENT for sexual content, nudity, language and violence.

Kairi: I..I think..I think I’m pregnant.

Namine: Oh my god. Kairi, are you sure? Did you take a test?

Kairi: I don’t need to. I know it. I can feel it. I’ve missed my period and I’ve been sick for two weeks. What do I do!?

Namine: Did you tell Sora?

Kairi: Oh no, Sora! I didn’t even think about how he’ll react! What do you think he’s gonna say?!

Tears streamed down Kairi’s face.

Namine pulled Kairi into a hug.

Namine: Kairi, calm down. It’s gonna be alright. No matter what, Sora will always love you and he’ll be there for you. He might get scared but he will always stay by your side.

Kairi calmed down a little.

Kairi: You’re right Namine. Thank you. Now I just have to figure out how to tell him. I know he won’t abandon me, but I still don’t know how and when to tell him.

Namine: Well you need to tell him so just do your best and keep in mind that he loves you.

Watching Namine and Kairi, down the hall through a mirror, was Bride Hannah. 

Bride Hannah: Pathetic. Stupid little princess and her stupid little hero. I’ll end their lives somehow and I’ll make them watch as I torture the living hell out of them. 

Later on that evening, Kairi found Sora walking through the foyer. 

Sora: Kairi! How has your day been beautiful? You feeling any better? I know you haven’t felt good the last couple of days but it’ll pass.

Kairi looked down at her feet. 

Kairi: Sora..about that....

Suddenly, Kairi was lifted from the air and tossed to the side by an unseen force. Sora reached for her and was about to run after her, but he was tossed against a wall and pinned to it. Then he felt a burning pain on his chest, he looked down to see a huge gash was carved into his chest. He screamed out in pain. They couldn’t see whatever it was that was doing this to them. There was nothing there. They both reached out their hands for each other, screaming the other’s name and Kairi tried to run to him. Bride Hannah suddenly appeared before her and stood between her and Sora.

Hannah: Hello, princess. You ready to watch your stupid boyfriend die?

Kairi: Don’t you dare touch him! You can’t hurt me and I will stop you!

Hannah: You’re right, I can’t hurt you...but...I can hurt that thing growing inside of you.

Sora and Kairi both gasped.

Sora: Kairi! What-what is she talking about!?

Hannah: Oh you didn’t tell him yet? Here, let me show him what I mean.

Hannah waved her hand at Kairi and Kairi clenched her stomach and dropped to her knees. Kairi cried. Sora was still pinned to wall but struggled to break free and tears fell from his eyes too.

Kairi: No...please. Stop! Don’t hurt them! Please, I’m begging you....

Sora: Kairi! Leave her alone!

Hannah: You might have a heart of pure light, but your unborn child has a heart just like it’s father. Made up of light and darkness. 

Sora: GET AWAY FROM HER!!!!!!! STOP!!!!! If you wanna hurt me then hurt me, but don’t hurt her! Don’t hurt either one of them! LEAVE KAIRI AND MY CHILD ALONE!!!!

Sora clenched his fists as hard as he could and flexed his body the most he could. He was finally able to get out and he raced over to Hannah and pushed her. She lost her grasp on Kairi and the baby.

Sora: Kairi! Go now!

Kairi: I’m not leaving you!

Sora: You need to protect our child, please!

Kairi: Sora...I can’t leave you...

Hannah flung Sora back and Kairi watched in terror. Hannah began to approach Sora, but Kairi jumped between them.

Hannah: You better listen to your boyfriend because if you don’t, you can say goodbye to your baby.

Kairi: You’re just jealous.

Hannah: What did you say to me!?

Sora stood up and was about to protect Kairi, but he stopped as he could see the light surrounding Kairi and he could see her eyes we shinning with pure light.

Sora: Ha! It’s the light! The power of light!

Kairi: You heard me. You’re jealous of what Sora and I have. We’ve been through hell and back to be with each other for almost a decade, we’ve been fighting. But we love each other so much that we never gave up fighting! You’re jealous of that! That’s why you’ve been targeting us! And I will do everything in my power to protect my family! You stay the hell away from us!

The light grew bigger and bigger until it finally covered the entire room and Hannah yelled in pain.

Hannah: No! Too much light! It’s burning!

Sora covered his eyes. The light burned Hannah until she turned to ash on the floor. The bright light dissipated and Sora put his hands down to see Kairi falling to the floor. Sora ran for her and caught her before she hit the floor. She was unconscious and Sora knew she was okay. He tried to process everything that just happened. He could handle any sort of danger but what shocked him the most... Sora picked Kairi up and carried her to bed so she could rest. He laid her down and starred at her, and then his eyes traveled to her stomach. He gently laid his hand over her stomach. 

Sora: I can’t even believe...

Sora needed a moment to process it all. Sora walked down the stairs and as he was about to exit the house, Riku opened the front door.

Riku: Hey! Whoa you look like hell! You’re bleeding! What happened!? 

Sora: Oh, I totally forgot about that...

Riku: You forgot you have a huge gash across your chest and dripping blood?! You need to fill me in!

Sora: Well, Kairi defeated Hannah...

Riku: She did!? How?

Sora: Light...She channeled all the power she had and used it to defeat her for good..she was desperate to protect me and...

Riku: Who else? No one else was here with you guys.

Sora: ...Our baby...

Riku: Come again!? Did you say baby? You got her pregnant you numskull!

Riku smacked Sora upside the head. Sora rubbed the back of his head.

Sora: Hey! I didn’t plan it! I’m just as shocked as you are! I just found out!

Riku: How long has she known? 

Sora: I don’t know. I’m trying to think of how and when! We used protection every...oh wait...

Riku: You didn’t!

Sora: The night I proposed to her...we were on the beach, I forgot to bring anything with me and she said it was okay and I was okay with it too.

Riku: Sora, how could you be so careless and stupid!

Sora: I didn’t think about it! It was the heat of the moment, okay! I feel bad enough! I mean I wanted kids with her, eventually but right now..I don’t know if I’m ready to be a dad. And I still haven’t had a chance to talk to her about it so I have no idea how she feels. 

Riku: Sora, I know this is sudden and i definitely think you should’ve been more responsible but aside from all that, I have no doubt in my mind you would be a great dad! You guys will both be great! 

Sora: I just...I need a minute to think about all of this.

Sora walked outside and sat down on the bench. He starred up at the stars and he did this for at least an hour. Just thinking about everything. Sora put his hand down and covered his face. He was scared. Scared he wouldn’t be good enough.

Suddenly he felt a hand on his back and head on his shoulder, and he could hear someone crying. He popped his head up to see it was Kairi.

Sora: Kairi! Are you okay? 

Kairi: Yes. Are you?

Sora: Why didn’t you tell me?

Kairi: I was going to but I wasn’t sure how. I was scared. I’m sorry.

Kairi was about to get up but Sora grabbed her wrist.

Sora: Kairi, don’t go. You can always tell me anything, it doesn’t matter what it is. Don’t ever be scared to tell me anything.

Kairi: I know I can but-

Sora: No but’s! Please talk to me when you need to. Whenever something is going on or when you feel any type of way, please express that to me. I don’t care what it is. I will always love you no matter what. It’s gonna be okay and we will get through this. I’m scared too. I’m petrified. But together, we can get through anything.

Sora stood up and pulled her up with me. He pulled into a hug and squeezed her tight.

Kairi cried onto his shoulder.

Kairi: I’m scared though. Do you think we can do it? Will I be a good mom?

Sora: Of course you will. I question if I’ll be a good dad myself, but we’ll help each other.

Sora rubbed her back and tried to comfort her as she cried.

Sora: Shh...Kairi, it’s okay. Please don’t cry. You’re going to make me cry. I hate seeing you sad. 

Kairi began to calm down and the tears started to subside. 

Sora: Come on, let’s get to bed.

Kairi: Will you hold me all night long?

Sora: Of course, that shouldn’t even be a question. I always do.

Sora and Kairi got to their bedroom and Sora pulled Kairi in and kissed her. 

Sora: It’s okay, Kairi. We can do this.

Seconds later, their clothes had been tossed around the room.

Sora gazed down at her stomach and rubbed his hand over it.

Kairi: I’m gonna be so fat...

Sora: I don’t care, you’re still beautiful no matter what. You always will be to me.

Kairi pushed Sora down onto the bed and kissed him. No matter what situation they were in, Sora could always make her feel better.

2017 Inktober, Day 11 . BLOODY MARY is a British folklore legend consisting of a ghost, phantom, or spirit conjured to reveal the future. She is said to appear in a mirror when her name is called three times. This is done by repeatedly chanting her name in a mirror placed in a dimly-lit or candle-lit room. The Bloody Mary apparition appears as a corpse, a witch or ghost; can be friendly or evil; and is sometimes "seen" covered in blood. The lore surrounding the ritual states that participants may endure the apparition screaming at them, cursing them, strangling them, stealing their soul, drinking their blood, or scratching their eyes out. . My Inktober continues! This year I am drawing female ghosts, monsters, and demons from around the world. . #Inktober #inktober2017 #bloodymary #folklore #apparition #ghost #witch #mirrorghost #sketchbook #drawing #illustration #demon #mirrordemon #bloodyeyes #artistoninstagram #instart #hauntedmirror #horror

Kingdom Sims Pt. 21

MATURE CONTENT for violence

Sora was walking through the foyer, whistling Don’t Think Twice, daydreaming of Kairi. 

Sora walked by the mirror hanging in the foyer and stopped in his tracks. He could’ve sworn he seen someone and he noticed there was a certain darkness he recognized surrounding it.

Sora: I think Kairi was right...something doesn’t feel right.

Bride Hannah: You don’t deserve her...

Sora: WHOSE THERE!?

Bride Hannah: You two can never be together...

Sora put his fists up and looked all over. He didn’t see anything but he could hear someone.

Sora: Leave us alone!

Bride Hannah: I’ll chop her to bits and make you watch....hehehehehe.

Sora: I don’t know who you are, but I swear if you put your hands on her, I’ll make sure it’s the last thing you ever do!

Kairi: Sora....help me....

Sora: KAIRI!

Sora ran around the house frantically searching for her. He passed the dining room area and noticed Kairi frozen with darkness surrounding her.

Sora: Kairi...are you okay?

Sora tried to walk towards her but he was stuck, frozen the same as she was.

Sora: Kairi! Hold on! Please don’t hurt her!

Ven and Axel came flying in when they heard Sora’s cries for help.

Sora: Guys, save Kairi! I’m stuck!

Axel: On it!

Bride Hannah appeared in front of Kairi. Kairi’s eyes were closed but she was still standing.

Sora: LEAVE HER ALONE!

Hannah approached Kairi and when she tried to grab Kairi, light began to shine around her.

Kairi was still completely and totally frozen but the light got bigger, the closer Hannah got to her. Hannah grabbed her and she cried out in pain. The light burned her.

In seconds, Kairi and Hannah were both thrown into the air, light completely engulfing them. After the light disappeared, Kairi was gently brought back down and Hannah was gone.

Sora was finally able to move and he panicked. He ran over to her and held her in his arms.

Sora: Kairi!

Kairi was still unconscious.

Sora: Someone tell me what is going on!?

Riku, Roxas and Xion came running to the house.

Riku: I can!

Axel: You missed a good light show.

Sora: Riku, tell me what’s going on!

Riku: This is just the part that affects you and Kairi the most, there’s way more going on around here. Anyway, Bride Hannah is a killer ghost and she goes after true love, like you and Kairi. 

Sora: Why us!? There’s tons of people who love each other in the world!

Riku: I said true love. I think everyone here can agree, you and Kairi share a love like no other. It’s the strongest kind of love. I’ve seen it first hand what your love with each other does. Of course, she’s coming for you two!

Sora: So what do we do!? I knew if we got together, she’d get hurt again!

Riku: Sora, forget that! It doesn’t matter if you two were together or not, it doesn’t change your feelings for each other or what you have! It affected you guys long before you made it official, so stop with that.

Sora: How do I protect her from a killer ghost!?

Kairi started to wake up.

Kairi: Sora...what happened?

Riku: I have jobs for everyone. For now, here’s what we’ll do. Ven, you and Aqua go search the library archives. Xion, me, Sora and Kairi will go into town and try and get information from these scientists. Sora, do not leave Kairi’s side and same goes for her to you. Axel, go into town and try to talk to locals and find clues.

Axel: Roger that, Master!

Riku: Sora, check this out!

Sora: Ehh...what is that?

Riku: I’m not sure but I should snap a photo.

Kairi wandered over to the curio shop. Sora and Riku told her everything that happened. The only thing she couldn’t figure out was why Hannah couldn’t hurt her. There’s more to the story, she believed. Kairi approached the shop owner and began chatting with him.

Shop Owner: You have the aura of light.

Kairi: Umm...thanks, I guess. Can you tell me where I can find these scientists that were involved at the secret lab?

Shop Owner: You can find them by town square usually. They won’t tell you anything though. But I have a solution to that! This is a bug, you plant it on them and you can listen to their conversations.

Kairi: Oh cool! I’ll take one!

Kairi bought the bug and approached Sora and Riku. 

Kairi: We need to plant this on one of those scientists!

Riku: How do you propose you’re gonna get close enough to do that?

Kairi: With a little bit of a woman’s touch!

Kairi winked and started walking to the town square, and Sora and Riku followed.

Axel talked to most everyone who wanted to conversate with him. No one really knew anything, that didn’t already know. He walked into one of the bars and ordered a drink. After he got his drink, he started walking to the lounge area and bumped into a girl.

Axel: Whoa, I’m sorry!

Girl: Oh no! I just bought this drink! Totally wasted! Thanks a lot!

Axel: I’ll buy you a new one! Relax! Sheesh!

Axel bought the girl a new drink and even though they got off on the wrong foot, they started chatting for a while and found they actually liked each other.

Axel: I never got your name.

Girl: It’s Alice.

Axel: My name is Axel. Well it’s actually Lea but everyone calls me Axel.

Alice: Axel doesn’t sound like a nickname for Lea.

Axel: It’s kind of a long story.

Their faces were coming closer together.

They leaned in and Axel grabbed her and kissed her.

Axel never really thought of himself as the settling down type, but maybe this girl would change that.
