I thought I saw you on the subway again today. How is it that you still manage to haunt me when I'm the one who's dead? #twosentencehorror #jjreichenbach

"What's wrong with your eyes?" she asked me, face pale and finger shaking. When I looked into the mirror, someone else's eyes were staring back. #twosentencehorror #jjreichenbach
