His heart raced.
He looked back at the door.
The key had disappeared from his hand.
It was already inside the lock.
Slowly...
The handle turned by itself.
The door opened.
---
The room was completely dark.
There was only one chair facing a large mirror.
Nothing else.
No bed.
No window.
No decorations.
Jack stepped inside.
The door slammed shut behind him.
Darkness swallowed the room.
Then the mirror began to glow.
At first, it reflected the room exactly as it was.
Then...
The reflection changed.
Instead of seeing himself, Jack saw another man standing in the room.
The stranger looked exhausted.
His clothes were torn.
His eyes were filled with terror.
He slowly raised one finger to his lips.
"Be quiet."
Before Jack could react...
Something moved behind the stranger.
