Steam clung to the bathroom tiles, sharp with eucalyptus soap. Lena swiped the mirror, heart thudding from a nightmare she couldn't shake. Her face stared back—brown eyes wide, but lips parted in a silent scream she hadn't made.

She blinked hard. The reflection froze, then traced words on the glass: HELP. Lena's breath caught, fogging it anew. 'Hallucination,' she muttered, fleeing to the kitchen. Coffee burned her tongue, grounding her in the gray dawn of her empty apartment.

At the office, fluorescent buzz overhead, she avoided the restroom mirror. But curiosity clawed. Peering in, it waited—paler, frantic, mouthing 'Brother.' Lena's pulse raced; her brother died five years ago, car wreck on icy roads. This wasn't her world.

Back home, rain lashed windows like accusations. Online forums glowed: 'Echo Mirrors'—rifts to parallels, bleeding through under stress. Her double's world: one where the wreck never happened. He lived, laughed in flashed visions—dinners, hugs. Envy twisted Lena's gut, hot and bitter.

Night fell heavy, streetlights bleeding orange through blinds. The mirror pulsed warmth. 'Intruders hunt us,' it signed, shadows lunging behind her double. 'Swap—one night. Save my life, claim yours.' Lena's fingers trembled on the glass, feeling a heartbeat not her own.

She pressed palm to palm. Glass softened like wax, scents of pine forests—not her city smog—wafting through. Joy flickered: him waiting, alive. Then a crack spiderwebbed out. Her double's eyes widened in terror. Something growled from the dark side.
