The mirror

Chapter 1

A woman stands expectantly looking into a mirror. Her gaze is fixed on that antique frame with a gargoyle on top of the frame. Unable to tear her eyes away from the reflection emanating from within, she is immersed in a hypnotic trance.

In a fleeting second, a light covers her, bringing her inside in a scream of terror. The girl screams for help, banging on the mirror from inside, after a moment she disappears.

Years later, Susan goes with her friend to the antique store, looking for a beautiful mirror to place in the apartment; but she doesn't want something ordinary, but something different and eye-catching.

She immediately looks into that antique mirror. She feels a presence that attracts her, becoming totally hypnotized by her reflection. Something calls her into the mirror. She feels her soul take off towards its irresistible call. At that precise moment her friend startles her out of her trance.

Susan wakes up and immediately says she wants to buy the mirror. Her friend tells her that it is very hideous, mocking her taste; however, she doesn't care what her friend says. She pays for it and puts it in the car. The two women go to the apartment and place the mirror at the end of the hallway, which leads to the bedrooms.

Her husband arrives and sees such an atrocity, then berates Susan for buying such a horrible object. She explains that it is an antique and gives luxury to the apartment. After this they go to the dining room for dinner, when they finish eating, Susan goes to the hallway and sees that reflection that seduced her the first time. She goes into a trance, being mentally transported to an old house where she witnesses a horrible murder.

A woman is being stabbed, as she is thrown into the mirror. She looks at Susan and then passes away, but her soul is absorbed by the crystalline element. The woman appears in the crystal moon and calls out to Susan, just as chilling arms emerge from the mirror enveloping her.

She is about to surrender to the spectral call, when she hears her husband. Susan comes out of the trance and everything returns to normal. She returns to him; but something in her has changed, as she smiles a sinister smile.

It is 3 o'clock in the morning and Susan gets up to go to the kitchen to get some milk, after finishing she returns to the bedroom. She is walking down the hallway when she sees a glow emanating from the mirror.

Susan is mesmerized by the light. She enters a spellbinding trance that transports her to that house she saw earlier; now she is the woman in the mirror. Susan looks with the woman's eyes. She feels with her heart. Apparently they are eating and that man throws her food on the floor. His insults make her feel bad.

The woman picks up the dishes and cleans up the mess left by that tyrannical man. As she does her chores, the man approaches her, continuing his insults and abuse. Susan takes control of the woman's conscience and begins to hit the man with fury. He does nothing to defend himself, he just lets her hit him.

From between the blood gushing from her face, she can see the demonic smile, which makes her panic. Susan screams and wakes up from that terrible dream. On top of her is her husband, all bloody, trying to make her see reason. She wakes up frightened, she doesn't know what has happened to her. She asks her husband what has happened to her and he tells her that she has hit him on the head with a lamp from the bedside table.

Susan heals him and kisses him and then apologizes. She tells him all about the strange dream. The husband begins to worry about her mental state. The next day a technician arrives to install the cable, while the man is working, Susan feels the presence of the mirror and is transformed.

She starts looking at herself in the mirror in suggestive poses. The cable man notices this and she looks at him, then invites him to join her. Susan embraces him kissing him passionately, then puts him in front of the mirror, while caressing him. The glow becomes intense and devours the man. Susan faints.

The husband arrives to find Susan lying on the floor. He wakes her from unconsciousness and, very concerned, asks her what has happened, then about the man on the cable. She gives no reason for what has happened. The husband takes her to bed to rest, only to find that the technician's tools are still in the room. He picks them up and puts them in the yard, while the image of the desperate man appears in the mirror and then disappears.

El espejo

Capítulo 1

Una mujer se encuentra expectante viendo un espejo. Su mirada se fija en aquel marco antiguo con una gárgola en la parte superior del marco. No puede despegar su vista del reflejo que emana desde su interior, se sumerge en un trance hipnótico.

En un segundo fugaz una luz la cobija, llevándola al interior en un grito de terror. La chica pide auxilio golpeando el espejo desde su interior, después de un momento desaparece.

Años después, Susan va con su amiga la tienda de antiguedades, busca una bonito espejo para colocar en el apartamento; pero no quiere algo común, sino diferente y que llame la atención.

De inmediato mira aquel espejo antiguo. Ella siente una presencia que la atrae, quedando totalmente hipnotizada por su reflejo. Algo la llama hacia el interior del espejo. Siente que su alma despega hacia su irresistible llamado. En ese preciso momento su amiga la asusta sacándola del trance.

Susan despierta y de inmediato pide llevarse ese espejo. La amiga le dice que esta muy horrible burlándose de su gusto; sin embargo a ella no le importa lo que dice su amiga ella. Lo paga y luego lo carga en el auto. Las dos mujeres se van al apartamento, colocando el espejo al final del pasillo, que conduce a las habitaciones.

Llega su esposo y ve tal atrocidad, luego le recrimina a Susan por haber comprado tan horrible objeto. Ella le explica que es una antigüedad y da lujo al apartamento. Luego de esto van al comedor a cenar, al terminar de comer, Susan va hacia el pasillo y ve aquel reflejo que la sedujo la primera vez. Entra en trance, siendo transportada mentalmente a una casona vieja en donde puede presenciar un horrible asesinato.

Una mujer esta siendo apuñalada, mientras es lanzada hacia el espejo. Ella mira a Susan y luego fallece, pero su alma es absorbida por el elemento cristalino. Aparece la mujer en la luna de cristal y llama a Susan, al mismo instante que unos brazos escalofriantes salen del espejo envolviéndola.

Esta a punto de entregarse al llamado espectral, cuando escucha a su esposo. Susan sale del trance y todo vuelve a la normalidad. Regresa con su esposo; pero algo en ella ha cambiado, mientras esboza una sonrisa siniestra.

Son las 3 de la mañana y Susan se levanta para ir a la cocina a tomar un poco de leche, luego de terminar regresa a la habitación. Ella va caminando por el pasillo, al instante en que puede ver un resplandor que emana del espejo.

Susan queda hipnotizada por aquella luz. Entra en un trance hechizante que la transporta a esa casa que vio anteriormente; ahora es la mujer del espejo. Susan mira con los ojos de la mujer. Siente con su corazón. Al parecer están comiendo y aquel hombre le tira la comida al suelo. Sus insultos la hacen sentir mal.

La mujer recoge los platos y limpia el desorden que dejó aquel tiránico hombre. Mientras ella hace sus deberes el hombre se le acerca, siguiendo con sus insultos y maltratos. Susan toma el control de la conciencia de aquella mujer y empieza a golpear al hombre con furia. Él no hace nada por defenderse, solo deja que lo golpee.

De entre la sangre que brota de su cara, puede ver la sonrisa demoníaca, que la hace entrar en pánico. Susan grita y se despierta de aquel terrible sueño. Encima de ella se encuentra su esposo todo ensangrentado, tratándola de hacerla entrar en razón. Ella despierta asustada, no sabe lo que le ha ocurrido. Pregunta a su esposo que le ha pasado y Él le dice que ella lo ha golpeado en la cabeza, con lámpara de la mesita de noche.

Susan lo cura y le da un beso para luego pedirle perdón. Le cuenta todo el sueño extraño. El esposo empieza a preocuparse sobre la condición mental de ella. Al día siguiente llega un técnico a instalar el cable, mientras el hombre trabaja Susan siente la presencia del espejo y se transforma.

Empieza a mirarse al espejo en poses sugestivas. El hombre del cable se percata de esto y ella lo mira, luego lo invita a acompañarla. Susan lo abraza besándolo apasionadamente, después lo pone frente al espejo, mientras lo acaricia. El resplandor se hace intenso y se devora al hombre. Susan cae desmayada.

Llega el esposo encontrando a Susan tirada en el piso. La despierta de su inconsciencia y muy preocupado, le pregunta lo qué ha sucedido, después por el hombre del cable. Ella no da razón de lo que ha pasado. El esposo la lleva a la cama para que descanse, para luego percatarse que las herramientas del técnico sigue en el cuarto. Las recoge guardándolas en el patio de ropas, entre tanto aparece la imagen del hombre desesperado en el espejo, para luego desaparecer.
