Midnight Magic Mirror
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.

Thank you so much, Preston. I am so much happy that you like my micro-fiction.
This is creepy. I like the build-up of the story. Well done. It’s so good to read a story from you after a long while.

I have also thought about this story for a long time. And finally, I did and finished it.
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!

Thank you so much Allan for your lovely comment.
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!
Hello, Linda. Thank you for loving my short story. I am happy to know that my short story worked for you. It is an achievement for me.

To Leave Comments - Please SignIn with GoogleYou 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.
Thank you so much, Christer. I am so honored that you like and appreciate my story.
I can do this story because of what I have learned from all of you. Thank you very much too.
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!
Thank you so much for reading and commenting, Amy. I appreciate it so much.
