    Granny Weatherwax looked out at the multi-layered, silvery world.

    “Where am I?”

    INSIDE THE MIRROR.

    “Am I dead?”

    THE ANSWER TO THAT, said Death, IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN NO AND YES.

    Esme turned, and a billion figures turned with her.

    “When can I get out?”

    WHEN YOU FIND THE ONE THAT’S REAL.

    “Is this a trick question?”

    NO.

    Granny looked down at herself.

    “This one,” she said.
