It had been a great week, life after taking some real cheap shots at her had finally cut her some slack. So much so that she had finally realized her childhood dream of becoming an actress. The shooting was scheduled to commence tomorrow and may be that was one of the reasons why she hadn't been able to stop beaming as she had pranced around all day doing nothing, a bundle of nervous energy. Although she was working in one of those low budget horror flicks she realized that beggars couldn't be choosers and was banking on the fact that it might go on to become a sleeper hit bringing her bigger and better roles thereafter. As all these thoughts filled up her pretty lil head she tossed and turned around in her bed unable to get any sleep. After an hour of similar vain attempts she finally put on the lights and decide to just re brush her hair to kill some time. As she settled herself on the edge of her bed in front of her dressing table she got a weird feeling of being watched. However she soon dismissed the notion as she pulled out her hairbrush and began doing her hair. She looked at herself in the mirror and there in she saw a face that would launch a thousand products tomorrow and go on the become the swwetheart of millions around the globe. As she scanned her perfect face with her perfect eyes she was again aware of a feeling of an intent pair of eyes watching over her. As her comb got caught in a little tangle in her hair she looked at an unfamiliar pair of eyes staring back at her from the mirror. Her reflection in the mirror gradually pulled its hands out of the hair, crossed across its chest, its gaze chillingly transfixed upon her staring blankly.
As her pictures slumped over the script were splashed across all newspapers the next day most stories stated that Act 1 of the script of the murder mystery was very realistic, a little too realistic if some tabloids were to be believed.

Damn I wish I could have read this at night, then I would have truly realised how scary this was! ;)
No seriously this was really good, write some more horror stories!!
First time visitor to your blog. Was pleasantly suprised by the chilling story! Are you a horror movie/book lover by any chance? anyway, hope you take this story further, it has "potential" (not that I am a Hollywood magnate!)
On a side note, do you realise that every so often in your posts you turn back at the last moment from being really mean...you just touch the fringes??!!(e.g. the post on bloggers which could have been a v entertaining meanie-fest if you had really let yourself go!)
Rohan it's Christmas time not Halloween...
hmm..you creep :). did you see pathan and harbhajan kick sl's ass? how about pak kicking eng's ass? :), aussies whipping SA?

@Sud I do like the genre but only the ones that makes you think so that its not just the cheap thrills and faces with bad make up that stay with you, the being the meanie bit is mebbe coz its just not the real me :)
