Harlan Guthrie

To count would be pointless.

There are worlds that have monsters of legends, worlds that exist billions of years from now.

Alternate paths that allowed space travel and viruses to affect the entirety of your world.

So we don't occupy the same time, meaning it's not 1934 in these worlds as well?

No.

As I said, thinking of time linear would only confuse...

These worlds are all acting simultaneously, and yet, they all exist in varied time, some billions and billions of years into the future to when the world has been covered twice by dead civilizations, some over fifty years from now, with pathways that have led to worldwide epidemics, some even have an ancient past where magic was prevalent.

Magic?

Yes.

Look, you wanted to know, and I am explaining.

I am from the Dark World.

Within that world, I was bound to a book, and that book was somehow brought here.

To you.

So, it's possible to bring things from this Dark World...

back it's it's possible to return yes and this is why we need to find out how i came back stop what you've reached the last step oh are you all right yes i i just need to wrap my mind around all of this well continue straight ahead past the doors about 15 steps from where we're standing let's head to the street and wave a taxi while you think

You're about four steps from the doors.

Well... What?

Nothing.

I... I just... The city is so alive.

Was the world you were from like this one?
