The Shadow in the Mirror

In an old, dusty antique shop on the edge of town, there was a peculiar mirror that caught the eye of anyone who entered. The mirror, framed in blackened silver, had a history as dark as its appearance. It was said that the mirror held a malevolent shadow that could reflect the darkest fears of those who gazed into it.

One rainy afternoon, a young woman named Sarah, seeking a unique piece for her home, wandered into the shop. Drawn by the mirror's eerie aura, she stood before it, her curiosity piqued. As she looked into the mirror, she noticed a faint, distorted shadow creeping from the edges of the reflection. At first, she thought it was just her imagination, but the shadow began to take shape, forming a silhouette with glowing red eyes.
Sarah's heart raced as the shadow in the mirror started to move independently of her. It seemed to be alive, writhing and growing larger with each passing second. Before she could turn away, the shadow lunged out of the mirror, its cold touch wrapping around her wrist.
She screamed, but no sound escaped her lips. The shop owner, hearing the commotion, rushed over and managed to pull her away. The mirror shattered on the floor, and the shadow dissipated into the air. Sarah left the shop, forever haunted by the memory of the malevolent shadow.
