Static on the Baby Monitor
horror◐ Teen5 contributors · 5 paragraphs deep
Mara opens the closet. Behind the coats sits an old white baby monitor, the same model as the one downstairs. Its screen glows green and shows the living room couch, where a girl exactly like Mara sits watching a screen. Her heart slams. Someone is watching her too, from in here.
Mara watches the screen and waves her hand. The girl on the couch waves back at the exact same moment. Slowly she understands. She is the reflection now. The real girl is downstairs, and Mara is the thing in the closet that got out eleven visits ago. The humming, she realizes, is her own.
