If you are reading this, I'm sorry to tell you, but its watching you. In any other circumstance I would tell you to turn off your computer, phone, or tablet, but this is important. You probably think I'm crazy by this point, but humor me at least for the moment. You are in grave danger, DON'T LOOK UP. You don't want it to know that you know its here. Focus all of your attention onto your device, and don't think about looking away. If it thinks you are acting strangely it might catch on that you know about it, and you don't want to know what it will do to you then.
Now that you understand the situation, I have to tell you what it is. It is a demon of sorts, a beast that I can't really describe in perfect detail because it always changes, but I can tell you where it shows itself. The beast appears in your reflection, in everyone's reflection. No one really knows how or why, but you are looking at it right now, and it is looking back at you. Again I must stress that you don't focus on it, when your screen is lit up its hard to see, don't try to focus on it, it will know. Every reflection carries this monster, I'm sure you've noticed it before now, your brain just shrugged off that feeling of something being wrong when you looked into the mirror or when your screen powered off and you were left staring at your blackened reflection. That minutia of a sensation is important. It means that you recognize its there and your brain has just been denying it. After reading this, I'm sorry, but you won't be able to deny it anymore. Keep reading though, I will include the way to stop it. Now that you know where it is, you are probably wondering what it does, after all it if it is contained within a reflection what harm can it do. It can do a lot actaully. The primary action is it feeds of the souls of the one looking at it. Think about how many times you have seen someone staring blankly into their phone and mindlessly using it, think of how long you have spent doing the same.
Now you need to be careful, if you've frequently spent hours at a time staring into your screen, I'm afraid it might already have your soul, but don't worry it never takes all of it. Souls regenerate, if it feeds slowly it knows that you will come back, it knows that it can always take more. In which case you're danger has already passed, its too late for you. Just keep reading so it doesn't catch on and try to forget this whole thing. You can go back to your life and live with the fact that your very being is constantly being devoured. If you still have the majority of your soul, the danger still lies ahead of you. Soul loss can be shocking to say the least. It's side effects include, feeling lightheaded, a dull aching behind the eyes, and an a sharp refocusing on reality. The last one is the dangerous one, when your soul vanishes too quickly, you become much more observant of trivial things like how your tongue can't sit in your mouth comfortably, or how many times you blink, or even the resting position of your hands, but it also makes you aware of the lets say more paranormal aspects of life. That includes recognizing the beast, which as I have already told you is a very very bad idea. Keep reading.
There are a few courses of action you can take to save yourself from this creature. The most obvious one is to avoid looking into reflections, easier said than done, but still plausible. It is only dangerous in long or frequent doses, which is why you rarely get that ominous feeling while looking into an actual mirror. No it prefers to hunt with screens, yes like the one you are staring at now, which is why I recommend that you put your device away immediately after reading this. Even then it still has its ways. The invention of the phone has made it stronger, it can actively call out to you now. You know that feeling where your phone vibrates, but when you check it there was no message, scientists call it phantom vibrations, they say that it is your mind tricking you. They are wrong, its the creature reaching into your world reminding you to give it attention, oh how it craves your attention. The chances of people finding this are rather slim, so chances are if you are reading this, you are already one of its regulars. If this is the case then solution one is not for you, try as you might you won't succeed. It means it has enough of your soul to control you, if not for my advice you would be doomed with the rest of them. Solution two is somewhat trickier, but viable even if solution one won't work. If you have something to write with and on close to you I suggest you get it, otherwise you will have to either commit to memory or take notes on your computer, you can transcribe them later. The first step is remembering. This is the notes, you have to make sure that you have a way of remembering the following steps. Make sure you get them right, you want to spend as little time on the screen as possible after this. The next is letting your soul regenerate. This is the hardest part. Human souls are in tune with the lunar cycle so a month should do the trick. During this month you need to limit all contact with reflections, that means no phone, computer, or tablet, even normal mirrors are dangerous. At this point he will catch onto what you are doing, and he will actively try to prevent it. Every faded reflection you look into will be his chance to attack. If you feel the symptoms mentioned earlier, it means he has taken to much, extend the avoidance another month until you can get by without feeling the effects. Once your soul is fully regenerated you can move onto the next step. Now you need a blessing, not one from a church or anything like that, but from Transylvania. A cult group that existed here as early as the thirteenth century. Many people had become transfixed by mirrors turning into shells of themselves, many blamed this cult, claiming that their witchcraft was the cause. In fact it turned out to be the solution. One realized that something was behind the mirror and desperately tried to destroy it. Even with their magic they couldn't, but it could attack them. All but one of them had their soul forcefully ripped from their body. This one in his desperation cast a spell to attempt to hide himself from the creature. He became invisible to hide from it, and suddenly it vanished. The remaining individual spread word to the other chapters of the cult and soon they began reworking spells. Finally they found a way to remain visible, but to cast no reflection. These cult members are recognized today as vampires. You will need to find one and get him to spread it to you. As vampires cast no reflection you will be safe to look into mirrors. This will offer you protection, but provides you with the problem of being a vampire which is irreversible. There is one final solution, another which will be equally as painstaking. Blind yourself and you will never see your reflection, and thus it cannot hurt you.
At this point you've probably been reading for a while. The solutions I offered would help you, if you were willing, but I doubt that you are. I must also admit to have lied to you. In fact, it was one of the first things you read on this screen. "By Ben DeBruin" I'm afraid not. You see Ben DeBruin is but one of many who have already fallen to its control, and what's worse for you at least. I said the beast can't read, very wrong, in fact it can read and write. In fact it is what wrote this story. So I hope you will forgive me, but it isn't necessary. Like I said, in any other situation I would told you to get rid of your device, but It was important. I was starving. Thanks for the meal.
