The shadow in the old mirror

In a forgotten attic, Elara confronts a shadowy reflection in an antique mirror a grotesque, gothic entity that mimics her movements and speaks her deepest fears. This unsettling doppelganger, born from the house's dark history and Elara's own insecurities, attempts to consume her essence. A flash of lightning momentarily banishes the shadow, revealing Elara's terror but also her resilience. Though the shadow retreats, its lingering presence serves as a stark reminder of the internal darkness we all possess, a darkness Elara now understands she can confront and overcome.
