"It's you! It's really you!" You say, cupping the cheeks of the person you thought you'd lost. "I thought you were dead!" Tears welled in your eyes, your mind not quite believing that your true love was standing before you again after all this time.

Confusion flits across their face. They take a step back, just out of your reach. "I'm sorry... have we met?"

Your heart drops to your feet. "No... No, please tell me you're joking!" The tears begin to fall now, your chest feeling tight. "Please, it's me. It's me."

"I'm sorry," your love looks uncomfortable. "I don't believe I've ever met you before."

When you fall down the rabbit hole, you find yourself in another world entirely. Except, this isn't wonderland. Instead, you find yourself in the middle of a war of the undead. You're somehow still alive, despite there not being another living soul. And even when you should die, you continue to survive.

Every time you go to sleep, you wake up in another world. The only problem is, you're not sure which one is real.

You're what's called a "Jumper". You're able to "jump" between worlds at will. The only trouble is, you never know where you'll end up.

While out on your morning walk, you stumble across a tree that had split and grown into a rather odd round shape. You walk the same path every day, but you have never once seen this tree. When you investigate it, you notice a shimmering pool of light spilling from the center of the round shape. When you reach out to touch it, you are pulled rather forcefully through.

Your stomach drops violently, almost causing you to retch as you tumble head over heels through a dark portal. You land, completely unharmed but feeling terribly sick, on the leaf-strewn floor of the forest.

At first glance, it appears to be the same forest. Upon closer inspection, you quickly realize that this couldn't be your forest.

In your forest, the trees don't have eyes.

A package arrives on your front doorstep. When you open it, you find a cell phone with a note attached that says, "If you're reading this, things have gone terribly wrong."

You've worked for the Time Agency for the last 5 years. It's been pretty cool. You got to visit several key historical moments and be apart of some major projects. The latest project is the most notable, though. Some of the scientists employed by the agency have been working on a device that will allow agents to travel to alternate dimensions.

One day, you show up to work and head down to the project room. The prototype is almost complete, and that day is the first trial. It's meant to be on a much smaller scale and safeguards have been put in place in case something goes wrong.

But when the scientists switch on the machine, there is a massive white light and then complete darkness.

You wake up in an unfamiliar place. Nothing is the same.

And you have no idea how to get back.
