A terrified person trapped in a broken, ornate mirror, surrounded by clawed hands and cicadas.

A surreal, nightmarish scene viewed from the inside of an ancient mirror, as if from the eyes of a creature trapped behind the glass. The mirror surface is warped like rippling liquid mercury, creating a distorted view of a terrified human standing in a damp, decrepit crypt. The human's face is twisted in shock and fear, partially reflected in the glass. The room is dimly lit, stone walls covered in spirals made of cicada husks. The creature's clawed hands press faintly against the inner surface of the mirror, visible only as faint shadows or outlines beneath the glass. Cicadas crawl along the frame of the mirror, and the overhead light flickers, casting sharp reflections. The human’s reflection has hollow black eyes and subtle mandibles beginning to form—hinting that the mirror is already changing them. The atmosphere is heavy, wet, and distorted, as if the image is seen through a membrane or fluid. Horror POV, disturbing, cinematic, insectoid texture details, hyper-realistic and dark. See more
