One of my contest entries

In the dim moonlight, I ventured into the abandoned mansion, driven by a curious impulse. The air was thick with silence, broken only by the creaking floorboards beneath my cautious steps. A sudden chill raced down my spine as an eerie whisper echoed through the corridor. All I saw was an ancient mirror, its surface reflecting my apprehensive gaze.

Suddenly, the room plunged into darkness. Panic gripped me, and I fumbled for my flashlight. With a click, the beam revealed an unsettling sight--a massive arachnid perched on the mirror's edge. All I saw was its spidery long legs, reaching out like twisted branches. Paralyzed, I watched in horror as it scuttled towards me, weaving shadows into a sinister dance. The whisper returned, revealing the mansion's secret: a spectral arachnid guardian, ancient and hungry for trespassers
