Charley’s Mirror



Robyn went to unpack, grabbing what she had to stuff into the wardrobe. Being ravenous after the long flight, all she wanted was some of her mum’s familiar cooking. She rummaged deeper into her suitcase, scrummaging for the mementos she had souvenired along the way to give the family. Something tumbled out from the bundle. It was Charley’s mirror.

“Oh no!” she said casually to Calvin. “I borrowed this just before we left and it must have been wrapped with everything else in my suitcase … I guess I can post it back.”

As she placed it on the top shelf and shut the door, Robyn did not notice its silver glowing, and the feint hum coming from its frame.
