The Haunted MirrorLoading...
By:Madeleine
It was a hot summer day in Salem, Massachusetts and Marilyn Lewis was skipping rope. The hot sun blazed overhead and Marilyn was perspiring. It was getting to be so hot, she decided to walk the long four miles back to her house. As Marilyn trudged through the dark woods, she noticed a small, gold mirror on the ground.”I might as well pick it up,” Marilyn thought. She picked up the mirror and it looked like something was behind her! Marilyn looked behind her, and it was not there. ”But where did it go?", she shouted.
The mirror had disappeared! Marilyn glanced at her hand again, and the mirror was back in her hand. ”It must have been a trick with my eyes,” she thought as she put the mirror in her pocket. When Marilyn got home, her mother was having afternoon tea with Miss Mildred, their next-door neighbor. Miss Mildred, was quite an odd woman, who lived alone and gave out raisins on Halloween.

“Marilyn, I was so worried about you!” Mrs. Lewis exclaimed. ”All I was doing was skipping rope,” Marilyn said crossly. ”Well, Why don’t you go inside and Cook can fix you some cake and milk?" Mrs. Lewis said. Marilyn went upstairs to the third floor and put the mirror in her dresser. “I’ll examine it later,” Marilyn thought.
Later after dinner, Marilyn went back to her room to examine the mirror. As she pulled it out of her dresser, she noticed something different about the mirror.
There was an engraving along the edge in long, swirly cursive that Marilyn could barely read. The words engraved said,” If you wish to find the answers you seek, look for me to learn the technique.” As soon as she said the words, the mirror began to glow! Then she heard screams from downstairs.
