Grace and some friends are hanging out at one of their houses after drinking at a bar and they're all drunk and one of them dares Grace to go into the bathroom and say bloodymary in the mirror three times and Grace just laughs. He's a middle school teacher he knows all about that dumb sleepover game that teenagers play but he agrees anyway because why not? He's had a few drinks and his friends are giggling about it and literally nothing is going to actually happen.
So he goes into the dark bathroom, lights a candle, and says bloodymary three times. Then he screams.
There was actually someone in the mirror. Someone with long dark hair and drenched in blood.
He runs out of the bathroom and all his friends think he's pulling a prank on them. Grace manages to convince himself that it's just the alcohol and his nerves.
The next day he wakes up hungover but he can't get the image of the person in the mirror out of his head. He was drunk and it was probably nothing but he is a scientist and if this was real it would be such an interesting discovery.
That night he plays the game again. He goes into the bathroom, shuts off the lights, lights a candle, and chants the name.
There they are again, bloodymary.
He backs away, pressed against his bathroom door in fear and then the figure looks up at him. Their hair falls out of their face and they say one word.
"Help."
