The Birthday Stillness

The Birthday Stillness

by Rhys Stasis

On his sixteenth birthday, Alexander breaks the one rule his family has always enforced: he looks in a mirror. But his reflection doesn't look back. It stands perfectly still, a terrifying copy watching from its glass prison. A frantic call, a cryptic warning, and a shocking rescue by his sister shatters his reality. Now, Alex must live with the girl who saved him, haunted by her whisper: 'Or you’ll end up like your sister. Stuck in the mirror.' He's trapped in a house where the greatest monster might not be in the reflection, but sleeping in the room next door.
