A stranger leaves an antique dealer an oval mirror. She asks for nothing. She only says: not after midnight. He looks. The dead look back. A photograph vanishes from his wallet. A name is next. Then a woman comes for her child, and the child is already on the other side of the glass. What the river gives back is not what it took. Higher up, where the register has erased the road, four people remain. The mirror is under the stone. It is quiet. For now. A novel of fantasy and fiction. Serge Lewinski, (c) 2026.
