A girl named Riya, had just moved into a big, old house with her parents. One evening, while exploring, she found a narrow door that led to the attic. It was dark and dusty. In the corner, she saw a tall mirror covered with a white cloth.
She pulled off the cloth, and the mirror looked normal… at first.
But when Riya looked into it, she noticed something strange—her reflection wasn’t moving like her. When she smiled, the reflection frowned. When she waved, it just stood still.
Scared, Riya turned to run, but the attic door shut by itself.
She turned back—and the reflection was now walking toward her from inside the mirror.
Riya screamed. She grabbed the cloth and covered the mirror quickly. The attic door opened again.
Since that day, Riya never went up to the attic. But at night, she still hears a faint sound from above...
Tap… tap… tap…
Like something… or someone… waiting to come out.
