This is a bedtime story for grown ups about you flying in a spaceship, you begin your descent into the Earth's atmosphere, but when you land on Earth you discover that this Earth is different. You expected to land on a runway, but in its place is just meadow. Shortly after you land it rains purple rain. You head through woodland the next day and encounter animals practicing a performance for a show. You also meet a small kitten named Pickles. Together at the advice of the animals, you visit a silver fox named Tom who lives in a large building in a place which resembles Victorian London. They explain to you about the purple rain and about what happened to you and to the kitten and about portals. They give you a liquid to drink that will let you temporarily see the portals so that you can return to your correct universe. You head back to the woodland, drink some of the liquid, return the kitten home, before piloting your ship through a portal and back to your own reality, landing in the correct place, debriefing and then heading home. Once home you think about your experience, feel tired and head to bed, drifting peacefully asleep into Slumberland.
