Episode 2: The Necklace. The Man in the Mirror

By Grace Antiedu 

Eliza stared at the necklace lying on her dresser.

She hadn’t meant to wear it. She’d only touched it—picked it up to examine the strange weight, the way the glass seemed to shimmer even in darkness. But something had changed. That night, the necklace was around her neck.

She didn’t remember putting it on.

And in the morning, blood was smeared across her pillow.

Not a nosebleed. Not a wound.

It wasn’t hers.

She tried to forget. Hid the necklace in a locked box. Told herself it was nothing. But that evening, as she washed her face in the mirror, she saw him.

A man. Pale. Watching her through the glass.

He wasn’t in the room. Just in the reflection.

He stood behind her, eyes like dry coals, dressed in black with a red string in his hand—the same color as the necklace.

She spun around. No one.

She turned back to the mirror.

He was gone.

That night, she dreamt of a wedding. Hers.

Except the groom had no face.

And when he placed the necklace around her neck in the dream, it burned.
