The next location was not a hotel.

It was a half-demolished mental institution on the outskirts of the city, long forgotten by the maps and overtaken by weeds and fog. Aryan had to bribe a local to unlock the iron gates that creaked like they carried stories of the dead.

Room 27 was on the third floor. The hallway smelled of mildew and something older—like rotting books and despair.

As Aryan stepped in, the black journal pulsed in his coat. He followed its warmth until he stood before a rusted metal door marked “27” in flaking white paint.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrpKlS1K7o
Inside, it was colder.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55x6AED4hm
The walls were lined with shattered glass. No windows — only dozens of broken mirror shards nailed to every surface. They reflected Aryan from every angle.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2DnuTvO3H
But something was wrong.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxRMGtkVIo
In every mirror, Aryan’s eyes looked… different. Glossier. Hollow.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jQaQpVHl6
On the ground was a small mattress. And beside it — a hand-drawn portrait of a boy with completely silver eyes, smiling eerily.

Then the door slammed shut behind him.

He turned.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvl8bheJfM
A boy stood there. About 12 years old. Pale, silent. His eyes weren’t just silver — they were literal mirror glass. Aryan could see his own reflection in them. But the reflection smiled back… differently.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMFg5e36QM
The boy spoke, but his mouth didn’t move.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI33rWFnjn
“Don’t look away. He doesn’t like that.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF29DAfCm1
Aryan’s reflection stepped forward — but Aryan hadn’t moved.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabNpkymylv
The mirror version raised its hand. Aryan froze.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsxRDuskEl
Suddenly, all the reflections in the room started to shift. In some, Aryan was screaming. In others, he was covered in blood. In one, he was missing.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNlliDh4DV
The real Aryan dropped to his knees, the journal clutched in his arms.

"This place feeds on self-perception. On guilt. On denial."

The mirror-boy tilted his head.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCEP3yXoWe
“That’s how I disappeared,” he said softly. “I saw too many versions of myself, and forgot which one was real.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPZ8g3LQIK
A mirror shattered behind Aryan.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DKioyo8ca
He turned to look.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTuOrZNqmO
In its broken pieces, he saw not himself, but his sister — standing behind him, burning again. Crying for help. Reaching.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubcay1SX2N
He whispered: “I’m sorry.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP4gHrD8gt
All the mirrors shattered at once.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx3HKABvL4
Aryan blacked out.

He awoke outside Room 27. The door wide open. Morning light streaming in. In his pocket, the journal vibrated.

Room 27 – Delivered
Room 6 – Final

Aryan stood slowly, eyes wet, breath unsteady.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcsmDAu9qM
One more door.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM56PXO0ZtM
One final scream.
