As the door to the attic creaked open, I felt a shiver run down my spine. Despite my husband’s stern warning, my curiosity had gotten the better of me, and I couldn’t resist the urge to explore the forbidden room. But as I stepped into the dimly lit space, a wave of dread washed over me, and I felt my heart begin to race.

The attic was unlike anything I had ever seen before. The air was thick with dust, and the room was filled with an assortment of strange and unsettling objects. But what caught my eye was a large, ornate mirror standing against the far wall, its surface obscured by layers of grime and neglect.

Driven by a sense of foreboding, I approached the mirror and began to wipe away the dust, revealing a chilling sight beneath. Reflected in the glass was not my own face, but that of a young woman—a woman who bore a striking resemblance to me, yet whose eyes held a haunting sadness that sent a shiver down my spine.

Before I could comprehend what I was seeing, a voice echoed through the room, causing me to jump in fright. I turned to see my husband standing in the doorway, his expression twisted in anger and frustration.

“How dare you come in here?” he growled, his voice low and menacing. “Now I have to…”

But before he could finish his sentence, the room was plunged into darkness, and I felt a pair of icy hands close around my throat. Panic surged through me as I struggled to break free, but the grip only tightened, cutting off my air supply and leaving me gasping for breath.

Just when I thought I couldn’t hold on any longer, the darkness lifted, and I found myself standing alone in the attic, my husband nowhere to be seen. Trembling with fear, I stumbled out of the room and fled downstairs, vowing never to return to the forbidden attic again.

From that day forward, a sense of unease lingered over our lavish home, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something sinister lurked within its walls. And as I looked into the mirror each day, I couldn’t help but wonder about the young woman trapped within its depths—and what horrors awaited anyone who dared to uncover the secrets of the attic.
