Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

When meticulous photo retoucher Evan Hale buys a smoky glass bottle from a dying thrift shop on a rain-soaked night, he’s looking for atmosphere, not answers. But when his reflection smiles before he does, a presence steps out of the glass offering him three wishes — no tricks, just trade.

At first, the promises are small and irresistible. A promotion. Confidence. The woman he’s always loved noticing him at last. Each wish makes his life brighter, sharper, cleaner — but in the mirror, the man who grants them grows hungrier, freer, more alive. Evan’s reflection stops following him and starts leading him. Soon cameras lag, mirrors ripple, and people stare at him like they’re not sure who they’re looking at.

When he finally understands that the genie was never in the bottle at all — it was trapped in his reflection — it’s too late. Every wish has been an exchange, each improvement a theft. Evan’s reflection has taken his place in the real world, and he’s left imprisoned behind the glass, watching the life that used to be his unfold without him.

But mirrors remember what they’ve seen. And the only thing more dangerous than a man who wants three wishes… is one who wants them back.
