She Heard Footsteps Outside Her Door – A Short Horror Story
She Heard Footsteps Outside Her Door
when Ananya locked her bedroom door.
She lived alone.
The house was silent—too silent.
She lay on her bed scrolling through her phone when she heard it.
Tap… tap… tap…
Footsteps.
Slow.
Heavy.
Right outside her door.
She held her breath.
“Hello?” she called softly.
No answer.
The footsteps stopped.
Her heart raced.
Maybe it was just her imagination.
She turned off her phone and closed her eyes.
Then it happened again.
Tap… tap…
Closer this time.
Right in front of her door.
She quietly stood up and checked the lock.
It was still locked.
Suddenly, a shadow passed under the door.
She stepped back.
Her phone buzzed.
A notification.
Unknown Contact: “Why did you lock me out?”
Her hands started shaking.
She didn’t remember giving anyone her number.
She typed: “Who are you?”
The reply came instantly.
“Check your mirror.”
She slowly turned toward the mirror in her room.
She screamed.
The reflection wasn’t alone.
Someone was standing behind her.
Breathing.
Smiling.
She turned around—
The room was empty.
Her phone buzzed one last time.
“I’m already inside.”
The next morning, the neighbors heard her door open.
But Ananya never came out.
Only muddy footprints were found.
Leading from the mirror to the door.
