Home alone recovering from the flu, Jeanie sat transfixed listening to the news anchorwoman recount the latest information about the profile of a murderer who was on the loose in the vicinity.
An uneasy feeling began to wash over her—like a malignant, oily fog. It caused her to shift her glance towards the sliding glass doors, out beyond her kitchen into the backyard.
A man was standing outside in the snow. He remained motionless, leering back at her across the sparkling, snow-covered lawn. The illumination of the full moon cast an eerie pallor across his face. His deep-set eyes were hidden in shadows.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZqNQ4P1dr

Terrified, gasping for precious air—Jeanie snatched her cell from the coffee table to dial 9-1-1. Daring a quick peek once more towards the glass door leading to her backyard, she suddenly froze. Overcome with terror, she was unable to hit “send” to call out for help.
He was much closer now than he'd been before.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdFGSHNRs9

Shock took hold, squeezing the breath out of her lungs. She shook uncontrollably, like leaves in a stiff fall breeze. The phone fell from her hand, tumbling to the floor.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBncqWtcm4

Jeanie tried to scream. However, it caught in her throat, choking off her air supply like a piece of half-chewed steak that simply wouldn't go down.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FxtVCKLCz

The reflection in the glass—his reflection— was coming from inside her home.
