It was fullmoon. Kate woke up in the middle of the night and felt a bit thirsty. She went to the kitchen and took a glass of water. Suddenly... she heard something. Firstly, she thought she was wrong but no, noo.. she heard it again. It was some whispering voice but she had no idea, where it was coming from. She was so scared that it took her some time to focus and realize that this whispering voice is in fact her own voice calling her name! Scared to death she was slowly following it when all of a sudden she found herself standing in front of the mirror. "Is this possible?" she asked with open mouth. She saw in the mirror a woman, who was 80 years old with wrinkled face, long grey hair whispering: "Kateeee, I am you and you are meeeeee, give me your hand and come to meeeee!" Kate was shaking with fear, felt so frightened that she couldn't say a word. In a while she started feeling something weird! Oh nooo! Her body was getting older and older second by second - her skin was shrinking; grey hair falling down and this woman was still whispering: "Kateeee, come to meeeee.....look what is going on with youuuuu.." It all went too fast...now Kate was almost at the age of her older version in the mirror. Time was flying and she had no other option than to take a risk and give her hand, otherwise she would soon die here!!! While she was about to give her hand, her inner voice said: "Noooo, don't do it!" Exhausted, terrified Kate got herself little bit together and with all her hatred, fear and frustration.... broke the mirror. She thought these were her last moments of life, she was sure this was the end.. however she was wrong because with broken mirror all this nightmare was gone. She didn't believe her eyes! She was again young and apart from the broken mirror and bleeding hand everything around turned back to the normal peaceful night. Later after treating her hand and relaxing little bit, she went back to her bed. After some minutes she heard whispering voice saying: "Sleep well, Kate!" Luckily.. it was her husband...OR NOT?
Tanya, thanks for your corrections and yeah I will pay attention to word order, maybe it is because of my native language... As for Danny, I am not offended at all.. omggg :) He said sincerely, that almost all our stories "suck" and I agree because my sci-fi story wasn't anything special. Then I tried to write a horror story. I did my best and made it better. However, I rarely like my own writings that much but this one was good and instead of bothering with corrections plus it was longer than 200 words...I changed my mind and posted it individually.
