Reflections of the Self

Narrate a story where the protagonist finds a mirror that doesn’t reflect their physical appearance but reveals their darkest personality traits physically.

Here, you’ll explore deep-seated insecurities and fears at their most raw. After all, what’s more terrifying than facing the darkest aspects of ourselves? Use this story to show the character’s journey of self-discovery and acceptance, or resistance. One common horror trope is mirrors, but here, you’d be using it to show internal malaise instead of a physical threat.
