In a desperate act, Daniel smashed the mirror into a thousand fragments.
The girl disappeared, but a deafening scream echoed throughout the house. Running outside, he discovered he was no longer in his village:
a ghostly city stretched out before him, with empty houses and inhabitants who were mere distorted reflections of himself, repeating his movements in an eternal loop.
Every attempt to escape brought him closer to the center of town, where a spectral figure waited, smiling with a face that blended all the ghosts trapped before him. Daniel realized he was doomed to wander eternally, trapped between mirrors and shadows.
