A haunted hostel.
A cursed mirror.
Whoever sees it after 2:15 AM… disappears.
Characters:
Anjali (college student, hostel room)
Riya (her best friend)
Unknown Number
Anjali Sharma(FL)
Hey… you awake? 😅
Riya
Yeah, can’t sleep. Why?
Anjali Sharma(FL)
Power cut here in hostel. My room is dark. And… I think someone is outside my door.
Riya
😳 Stop joking. Everyone’s asleep, right?
Anjali Sharma(FL)
[2:10 AM]
I’m not joking. I heard knocking just now… three times. Slow.
Riya
[2:10 AM]
Maybe it’s the warden checking.
Anjali Sharma(FL)
[2:11 AM]
No… I texted Neha in the next room. She says no one is in the corridor.
Anjali Sharma(FL)
[2:12 AM]
Wait. Someone just whispered my name.
Riya
[2:12 AM]
Don’t open the door, Anjali. Stay inside.
unknown number
[2:13 AM]
Hello Anjali. Open the door.
Anjali Sharma(FL)
[2:13 AM]
Who is this?? Riya did you give my number??
Riya
[2:13 AM]
No!! Don’t reply!!
unknown number
[2:14 AM]
We can see you hiding under the blanket.
Anjali Sharma(FL)
[2:14 AM]
😱 How do they know??
Riya
[2:14 AM]
Get out of that room NOW!
Anjali Sharma(FL)
[2:15 AM]
(typing…)
Anjali Sharma(FL)
[2:15 AM]
The knocking stopped… door is open by itself…
unknown number
[2:15 AM]
Last seen 2:15 AM.
After that… Anjali’s number went offline. She never replied again. The hostel warden swears the CCTV shows no one entering her corridor that night… but Anjali’s room door was found wide open, and her phone lay on the floor with the last chat still glowing on the screen.
"Echoes in the Corridor"
Riya
[Next Day – 9:42 AM]
Neha, did you see Anjali in the morning?
Neha
[9:43 AM]
No… her bed was empty. Books scattered on the floor. Warden says she left the hostel at night.
Riya
[9:44 AM]
That’s impossible! She texted me till 2:15 AM. I have the chat.
Neha
[9:44 AM]
😰 Don’t tell me about last night… I also heard whispering in the corridor.
unknown number
[10:01 AM]
She didn’t leave. She’s still here.
Riya
[10:02 AM]
Who the hell are you?? What do you want??
unknown number
10:02 Check the mirror in her room. Look carefully.
Riya
[10:25 AM] (Riya sneaks into Anjali’s room)
Neha… the room feels so cold. The mirror is foggy, like someone breathed on it.
Neha
[10:26 AM]
Wipe it… maybe there’s something written?
Riya
[10:26 AM]
(sends photo)
👉 The words are scratched: “NOT ALONE”
Neha
[10:27 AM]
Oh my god. Riya, come out of that room!!
unknown number
[10:30 AM]
She saw them too. That’s why we took her. Now you will see them.
Riya
[10:31 AM]
Who are “they”?? Where is Anjali??
unknown number
[10:31 AM]
Look behind you.
The typing bubble appears on Riya’s screen… then vanishes. Neha tries calling her, but the call rings endlessly. Later, hostel CCTV shows Riya entering Anjali’s room at 10:25 AM… but never coming out.
The Mirror’s Secret
Mrs. D’Souza (Warden)
[11:45 AM]
Inspector, two girls missing in one night. This hostel is cursed.
Inspector Rajiv
[11:46 AM]
Please calm down. We’ll check CCTV.
Inspector Rajiv
[11:50 AM]
(typing…) What the hell… The footage shows Anjali and Riya both… walking into Room 13.
Mrs. D’Souza (Warden)
[11:51 AM]
But sir, Room 13 has been locked for 5 years. No student lives there.
unknown number
[12:02 PM]
You’re watching, but you can’t stop it.
Inspector Rajiv
[12:02 PM]
Who is this?? Are you inside the hostel?
unknown number
[12:03 PM]
At 2:15 AM tonight, another one will join them.
Inspector orders Room 13 to be broken open. When the door creaks open, the air is freezing. Inside: nothing but a cracked mirror. On its surface, faint scratches glow — spelling the names: Anjali. Riya. Rajiv
Mrs. D’Souza (Warden)
[12:05 PM]
(terrified) Sir… it’s your name…
Inspector Rajiv
[12:06 PM]
(backing away slowly) This isn’t possible…
The mirror’s crack begins to widen, as though something on the other side is pushing to break through. For a fleeting moment, Inspector Rajiv sees his own reflection — but it’s smiling, while he is not.
