When The Screen Goes Black
When Leah drifts off reading on her Kindle, the backlight dies… and the screen becomes a perfect black mirror.
But the reflection staring back at her isn’t quite right.
Her bedroom door is closed in the screen, though it stands open in real life.
A tall shadow stands where nothing should be.
And every time she blinks, it gets closer.
As the night deepens, Leah realises the reflection isn’t copying her room—it’s showing another version of it. A darker one. A hungrier one.
And something inside that mirror wants her attention.
Wants her fear.
Wants in.
When the screen goes black… she isn’t alone anymore.
