As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the deserted street, Vlada hurried home from work, her heels clicking against the pavement.

The air was thick with tension, a storm brewing in the distance, its rumbling echoes reaching her ears. Passing by an old abandoned house, Vlada couldn’t shake the feeling of unease that settled in the pit of her stomach. The windows were boarded up, and ivy crawled up the crumbling walls, giving the impression of a place long forgotten.

A sudden gust of wind made Vlada shiver, and she quickened her pace, eager to leave the eerie atmosphere behind. But as she turned the corner, she stumbled upon a broken mirror lying on the sidewalk, its shards glinting in the fading light.

Ignoring the feeling of dread that washed over her, Vlada hurried past, trying to shake off the sense of impending doom that seemed to linger in the air. Little did she know, the broken mirror was just the beginning of a series of ominous events that would soon unfold in her life.
