Just a dream

You woke up to get a glass of water. Your reflection stayed in your room.

(And the text part for the prompt, 128 words:

You bring yourself into a sitting position. You're sweaty even in the winter, and you blame it on the nightmare you were having and the closed window that's still wet from the rain that was still pouring when you fell asleep.

You look around the room, your eyes adjusted to the darkness, and feel your throat dry up for no reason. 

You sigh and step out of the bed and head towards the kitchen, where you get a glass of water to bring with you in your room. There's something weird in the kitchen when you turn on the lights, but you can't explain it. You turn them off and head back into your room.

Your shadow, missing in the kitchen, is waiting for you in the mirror. )
