It was exactly 3:07 AM when my phone vibrated under my pillow.
I was half asleep, thinking it was just another random notification. But when I checked the screen, my heart almost stopped.
Unknown Number:
"I'm watching you."
I frowned. Probably a prank, I told myself.
I turned on the lights. My room was empty. The window was closed. The door was locked.
Another message came.
"Don't turn around."
My hands started shaking.
Because I was already facing the mirror.
And in the mirror…
I wasn't alone.I slowly blinked, trying to understand what I was seeing.
Behind me, in the reflection, there was a dark figure standing near my bed. It was tall… too tall. Its head almost touched the ceiling.
But when I quickly turned around—
There was nothing.
My breathing became heavy. My phone vibrated again.
"I told you not to turn around."
This time, the lights in my room flickered.
On.
Off.
On.
Off.
And then suddenly—
Everything went dark.
My phone screen was the only light left in the room.
Another message appeared.
"Now I'm closer."
I felt something cold brush against my shoulder.
Very slowly…
I realized—
The figure was no longer in the mirror.
It was standing right behind me.
