Her Reflection Stayed Behind

When Elise Morgan glances in her bathroom mirror and sees her reflection still staring back after she's walked away, she blames exhaustion. Stress. A trick of the light. Until the reflection smiles on its own. What begins as small delays—her reflection blinking late, breathing wrong, or standing in a slightly different posture—quickly spirals into something far more disturbing. Elise's reflection becomes clearer, more confident, and more alive than she feels. It watches her. Learns her. Copies her emotions with unsettling precision. And worst of all… it seems relieved to finally be free of her control. As Elise's world fractures, mirrors across her apartment begin showing the wrong version of her—one with knowledge she doesn't have and memories she's tried to forget. Each reflection reveals a piece of a truth Elise has buried for years. Her reflection isn't a ghost. It isn't a demon. It's her—the version she abandoned… and the one that wants her place in the world. Her Reflection Stayed Behind is a chilling, reality-bending psychological horror story perfect for fans of Black Mirror, The Haunting of Hill House, and identity-twist thrillers that leave readers questioning what's real.
