The Mirror Room
By Ice Monologue
After returning to his childhood home, a reclusive artist discovers a sealed attic filled with mirrors that reflect not his face—but fractured memories. As Elias descends into the room’s haunting reflections, he’s forced to confront a long-buried trauma involving his estranged sister, Lyra. What begins as quiet curiosity becomes a psychological unraveling, where truth flickers, guilt whispers, and forgiveness waits in silence.
A tall, ornate mirror reveals Lyra - his younger sister - drawing on the attic floor. She speaks to him through the reflection, asking if he remembers. Elias is shaken. The mirror cracks as Lyra says, "You left. And I stayed." Elias falls to his knees, overwhelmed. He pulls out a sealed letter from his coat - one he never opened.
