Caroline was 3, when she first saw a baby.

But it was not one like you or me, this entity had red eyes, peering at her to see. 

​

"Mother, what is that?" she asked in terror.

But the mother saw not what she saw, believing her imagination to be in error.

​

Noone believed the girl, and soon she was diagnosed. "She must be autistic" the experts proposed.

​

Always in the shower, the entity would come. It took different forms but she knew it was always the same. She'd open her eyes some, thinking she'd just gone insane.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The entity would stare at her every single time. But as soon as the shower turned off, there would be not a single sign. Not even smoke, after the fire, at least it so seemed, but fear for the girl was forever reamed.

​

As she grew older, she did wonder and ponder, was she really mistaken? Was there nothing thereunder? She opened her eyes again, and saw it  once more. it had become even more distorted than before. But one thing was different, that shook the girl to her core. The entity reached out a tentacle, to open the door.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Nobody had heard from her, for two days straight. They were worried so called the police, but they showed up too late. They couldn't find out about her fate. 

​

As they left the bathroom, one thought he saw something in the corner of his eye, but he waved it off. As they said goodbye.

​

But if he had looked better, if he had looked nearer, he'd know that what he saw, was the girl in the mirror.
