The Mirror Video

Alan sat on the edge of his seat in a small, dimly lit living room. The only source of light emanates from the flickering screen of an old television. Alan, looking puzzled yet intrigued, has his eyes glued to the screen displaying footage of last year's office party where he is giving a confident speech. He wears a festive sweater and a goofy grin.

Alan sat, transfixed by the flickering screen, reliving a moment he couldn't remember.

The camera shifts to show a close-up of the TV screen. On the screen, Alan is seen at the office party, confidently shaking hands with the CEO, which contrasts starkly with his usual persona. The festive atmosphere is highlighted by decorations in the background. Alan wears a big smile, and is radiating confidence.

An unfamiliar confidence radiated from the man on the screen.

Back to Alan in his living room, his expression changes to one of nervous laughter. He rubs the back of his neck with his right hand, still watching the screen intently. This moment of unease is illuminated by the shifting light from the TV, casting shadows that give a foreboding feel.

'When did I become this brazen hero?' Alan chuckled nervously.

Alan's face reflected in the TV screen shows a ghostly version of himself smirking back. The reflection appears eerie and unsettling, contrasting with Alan's now serious and slightly frightened expression. The room feels colder, and Alan shudders as he stares into the ghostly reflection.

His laughter died as the ghostly reflection grinned back.
