This Girl Followed a Puppy Into an Alley—Then Disappeared From Maps
Stepping Through
The mirror didn’t shatter. It melted—soft as water. Lila pressed her fingers to the glass, and they slipped through. She stepped forward, pulled by something quiet and constant. The other side was dim, washed in silver light. Behind her, the puppy waited again. Not wagging and not moving. Just watching.
Lila turned as a hallway stretched out before her. The walls hummed, and a red thread trailed along the floor, guiding her forward. She followed it without speaking. Because she understood now that all the clues had been leading her here, she wasn’t the only one who’d ever come this way. But she might be the only one who remembered.
