Simon And The Locket

Simon carries a locket he believes is just a keepsake-until one night, the mirror inside flickers with the impossible image of a girl named Mei. Across distant realities, the locket becomes an unexpected bridge, drawing their worlds together

Restless, Simon idly flipped open the
locket, The mirror, instead of its usual dull
sheen, pulsed with a soft, ethereal light, He
blinked, certain his eyes deceived him, But
there, shimmering within the confines of the tiny frame, was a face, A girl, her features delicate and framed by dark, cascading hair. Her eyes, wide with an unsettling mix of fear and curiosity, met his. Her name, he would soon learn, was Mei.
