Summary

When a man’s reflection begins moving on its own, he realizes the mirror may be hiding something far more sinister than his own image.

A man becomes unsettled when his reflection in a mirror begins to act independently—not mirroring his movements. At first he doubts it, but as the reflection starts making its own decisions, a chilling tension builds. The reflection’s actions escalate into something malicious, forcing the man to confront the shocking realization that it may be a separate, sinister entity locked inside his mirror, threatening to take over. | #RetroRadio EP0462

your opinions about certain things I offer in the podcast.
