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.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iRZcU7vMf

His description matched perfectly with the one the news anchor gave earlier in her report.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2ZlXcWfdE

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.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv2EzBEZ5D

With horrifying, sudden clarity, the realization of what she'd just seen hit her like a sledgehammer blow to the gut.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM8aQpYz1J

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.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lsdxxT2h3

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.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa9hrFNxCk

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