The reflection

📖 The Reflection Story

Genre: Urban Drama / Psychological Thriller

In the dead silence of his bedroom, Thami sees something in the mirror—something that shouldn’t be there.

Not a ghost. Not a trick.

It’s him. But different.

At first, it’s just little things. Movements that don’t match. Eyes that stay locked even when he turns away. But then the reflection starts talking. Mocking. Telling him things no one else could know. Things he’s buried deep.

Thami’s life is already heavy. A broken home. A neighborhood full of guns and grief. Regrets that weigh like chains. But now he’s being hunted by the one person he can’t escape—himself.

As reality starts to slip, Thami begins to question everything. Is he cursed? Is he losing his mind? Or has something far darker crawled into the glass and taken root?

This is a story about trauma, guilt, and what happens when the streets raise you, but the mirror judges you.

Themes:

• Mental health in the hood
• Street trauma and survival
• Identity, guilt, and duality
• What you bury always finds its way back
