Me: Well....Looks like 2023 is about to be over.
Metris: Yep...and if I'm being honest here, it was pretty sh*tty..
Me: Yes, it was. Hopefully 2024 will finally be a much better one....and hopefully we won't have to deal with Biden again. 🤦♀️
Metris: Unless he decides to re-run again 😑
Me: Oh God, I hope not. I'm ready for him to just retire already...
???: Um...excuse me?
**Me and Metris look at each other confused then turns around to see a young looking middle aged woman with blonde hair w/ light pink fade in it and blue eyes looking at them**
???: I apologize for interrupting your conversation, but...could you tell me where I am?
Me:*blinks* You're in the living room of my house.
Metris: Who exactly are you and how get you get in here?
Stella: Oh! 😓 Uh...my name is Stella. I was just heading towards the cafe when I saw a strange portal appear in the middle of the street. It was very odd and was swirling with some kind of aura, so I walked over to it. By the time I got there and touched it, it somehow sucked me in and wound up in the room with shelves filled with books.
Me: Hm...I wonder if anyone was using that portal to get to somewhere.
Metris: That could be the reason, but the question is who would do it?
