I recognised that mirror the moment I saw it. My source was correct, there was treasure to
be found in that market.
I disguised my eagerness and even appeared to be doing the
dealer a favour by taking it off his hands.
Those goblins would sell their mother for the right price.
I couldn’t wait to get it inside the house, so I hastily unwrapped
it and propped it up against the wall.
“Mirror, mirror on the wall do you have any gossip for me at
all?”
This mirror was going to make my gossip column number one in
Fairyland.

The mirror tells me it is time for another week of the Friday Fictioneers.
I am going for two submissions this week. The second one can be found here -> Reflections
