(I'm currently calling this a teaser as the story is partially finished, more will be added)
Adjacent to Earth ie., the human world is the giant realm as many know. However in between, reside a series of smaller macro verses. These innumerable smaller worlds floating around the abyss contain diverse lifeforms and variant dominant species. Earth is somewhat aware of these alternate dimensions in the form of radical theories, often dismissed as nonsense. A few vortexes away, in the giant dominant realm, they have been more aware of these smaller worlds and have tried to access them, with assorted results.
Elliot, from the giant realm was a physicist, although technically still a grad student. However he was faithful his graduate thesis project would prove his worth as a scientist. Finishing the device in his cellar the young giant admired his prototype. "This'll work," he told himself, eager to penetrate the void and access the macroverse. Stubbornly, Elliot has chosen to work alone on his final project for higher education, unfettered by the shared credit of study groups.
In the finished basement he'd converted to a laboratory, Elliot guzzled coffee and looked over his complicated formulas and equations covering a lecture hall chalkboard. It all only made sense to him due to years of undergrad classes in the subject. He was determined to be the first giant to truly enter an alternate, smaller world, which had never been done. Vortexes and gaps in reality have been glimpsed previously, but never entered, as hundreds of textbooks attested. Today was the maiden voyage of the first inter-dimensional transportation. The main difference between Elliot's new unnamed device and the other contraptions made over the decades was those others produced "stable gateways," meaning they aimed to enter one specific realm. Elliot's gizmo produced an experimental new "unstable gateway," which accessed the macroverse and accessed another realm randomly, theoretically leading to somewhat easier travel.
Believing he was finally ready to travel, Elliot put on protective goggles and leather gear, before powering up his invention. As blue radioactive light filled the room, his smile curved up under the goggles as he stepped through the gap in the matter of reality. Unknown to the overworked student however, earlier he'd made a small yet critical mistake in his over-caffeinated, sleepless stupor. While vigorously transcribing part of the equation in one line of the maze of numbers and symbols, Elliot had written the number 3 twice in a sequence where the digit only appeared once. Despite being a simple, blink-and-you'll-miss-it error, it would severely change the trajectory of the ambitious young man's voyage.
As soon as the suited up physicist bypassed the portal, it sealed in his wake. Inside, the void looked exactly as the articles described, essentially the open area surrounding the rotating dimensions appears as a shapeless, colorless limbo with glimmering stars on the horizon. These stars were actually distant blinking vortexes to other realms. Elliot's triumphant smile didn't maintain though, since the issue from his miscalculation became apparent... his travel speed. Thanks to that double-3 in his sequence, the trajectory and inertia was off, and rather than be transported nearly immediately to another world, Elliot moved at 1/168th the speed. By the time another realm crossed paths with him in the void, to the educated giant, a week had passed.
At last, landing on a mass of diminutive treetops, it took Elliot quite a while to recover. "Jet lag has nothing on this," he muttered, fighting dizziness as he clambered to his feet. It took several minutes for him to blink the waist-high trees into focus, looking down. "Success!" he slurred with a dry mouth causing tiny birds to take flight and he nearly fainted. He jumped in fear believing he heard a lion roar in the surrounding forest but it was his painfully empty stomach. After a week of floating in nothingness, not only was Elliot delirious, exhausted and thirsty he most of all hungry.
Food remained priority, but data collection was why he'd made this trip. In the midafternoon sunlight Elliot saw evidence of intelligent life on a distant hillside. Power lines and what looked like a cellphone or radio tower protruded through the trees. Observing his surroundings, Elliot documented in his notebook. Based on the scale from myself to the landscape, I've landed after an extended journey into a world populated by tiny folks. Next, find provisions and food.
After hiking downhill for two hours, much to his disappointment Elliot had come across no farms with tiny livestock to steal or anything. A couple of small limber deer were able to outrun him through the woods in the giant's weakened state. Once or twice Elliot considered eating the trees themselves, but he was unsure what vegetation could be poisonous to his otherworldly body. A little farther afield, he found little paths through the woods barely big enough for his big toe, evidence he was nearing some sort of settlement. "Closer to town, perhaps I can find farmland with crops to eat," he drooled.
