Clock alarm at midnight.

I got up. I took the lighter and red candle and lit it. While holding the lighted candle, I slowly walked towards a dim mirror.

I closed my eyes and whispered: “Mirror, mirror on the wall. Show me the man I will marry and love for the rest of my life.” Then, I slowly opened my eyes but saw nothing.

“Where are you, my dear? Show yourself!”

And a cold wind came and took over my entire room. I trembled with fear. So I turned around and panicked back to my bed.

Really good, creepy story! I especially liked the suspenseful buildup to the climactic “…show yourself!”. And the ending brought to mind – be careful what you wish for. Well done.

Great story, Lotchie! I love the ending. This was a well-paced story and had a great buildup. I would also panic back to bed!

From planning to confidence, to fear. Great intriguing story. In times of trouble, bed is the place to be. I found it humorous that she jumped back in bed. You really deserve the 5 star post rating, Lotchie.

The wait for another story from you Lotchie, was well worth it! I too loved the build-up to that scary ‘cold wind’ at the end. I’d have scurried back to my bed too… and hid under the covers! Well done!

You really build up some tension and dark magic in this story, Lotchie. It’s kind of an anticlimax for your poor protagonist who is challenging the spirits after having set her alarm clock at midnight, but then hurries to safety in bed when they get active. Great job.

Short, but telling. I could feel your panic, Lotchie. Well done (again)

Wow, this was very creepy! I loved all the chilling descriptions, they made it feel like I was really there. If I were her, I would never step foot towards that mirror again haha. Great work, Lotchie!

Actually, this is a voting security feature. During public voting, only club members can read posts submitted for that contest. Since anyone reading the story is able to vote (click the Like button), we reserve these capabilities to members who SignIn. Before we implemented this security feature, people were voting multiple times and making the public voting process unfair and out of balance.
