1. The Mirror That Answered
Lena found an antique mirror at a flea market, covered in dust and spiderwebs.
When she cleaned it, the reflection smiled before she did.
That night, she whispered her name to the glass—and heard it whisper back.
Each night, the reflection began to move differently, slower, more alive.
Then one evening, it reached out and touched the glass.
Lena’s hand was pulled inside.
In the morning, her reflection waved from the other side.
