The scary broken mirror
Jenna wandered through the crowded antique market, eyes scanning the wares for something special. And then she saw it: a stunning antique mirror with a delicate filigree frame. Jenna approached it tentatively, almost reverently, and traced her fingers over the intricate design. As she gazed into the glass, she felt a strange sense of connection to the past, to the people who had gazed into this mirror before her. Jenna knew she had to have it, and so she carefully lifted it from its place and carried it home with a sense of excitement and anticipation, eager to see what secrets the mirror might reveal.
