The World in Grandmother’s Mirror

Marlene was the granddaughter of Lucy, a kind and strong woman who had raised her since infancy. Marlene’s mother had tragically died giving birth to her, and her father disappeared soon after, consumed by grief, or perhaps fear. From that moment on, Lucy became everything to Marlene — her guardian, her teacher, and her only family.



Marlene adored her grandmother deeply, and their bond was unbreakable. But fate, as it often does, had other plans.



A few days after Lucy passed away, Marlene returned to her grandmother’s house to clean and sort through the memories left behind. As she dusted the old attic, she stumbled upon something unusual — a tall, ornate mirror hidden beneath a white cloth, its surface dulled by years of neglect.



Curious, she pulled the cloth away and wiped the mirror clean. To her astonishment, the reflection shimmered and rippled like water, showing a reflection of a whole new world.
