“Jinki, Jinki what are you doing up here?” His mother tsked, laughing a bit when she found her son sitting in the attic in front of an old mirror. “You know you’re supposed to stay downstairs when grandma is watching you.”

   The small child looked up at her and smiled before turning back to the mirror. “I know Mama, I’m sorry. I got bored. Grandmama is boring.” He complained before moving to stand. “And there is always fun stuff up here.”

   His mother laughed before shaking her head and sitting beside him, making him smile and settle back down. “Like this mirror?” She asked, tilting her head to the side to look at the large plate of glass that kept the child entertained.

   “Yeah,” he nodded with a small bashful smile. “I was acting like it was magic Mama, and it would take me somewhere with magic and wizards and dragons I could slay.” He laughed before jumping when his mother lifted him into her lap, facing the mirror with him.

   “That sounds fun!” She said, smiling at his reflection as he stared at the glass. “Wanna hear a story about this mirror grandpa used to tell me and auntie?” She asked as he placed his hand on the mirror before nodding.

   “He used to say that on the other side of the mirror is a place where everything is different.” She whispered as she placed her hand on top of his. “Where magic is real and all our dreams escape to.”

   Jinki’s smile grew as he listened to her, eyes on her hands, “Really?”

   “Yes really.” She said with a small laugh. “And he said, that when we were sad that the people on the other side of the mirror would listen to us.” She mumbled, petting his hair back. “Your grandpa was a silly man.” She said finally, placing a small kiss on top of his head before standing and setting her son on his feet. “Now come on, you need to say bye to grandma.” She said before turning to leave the room.

   Jinki just smiled and nodded, glancing back at the mirror once more before trotting after her and ranting about what he wanted for dinner.
