PROMPT: A strange woman bursts into the room and screamed, "What the hell have you done with the children?" Tell us what happens next in no more than 200 words.
Everyone froze and stared at the stranger.
"Sorry?" Sally said.
"I just checked the bedroom. It's empty! Where are the children?"
The woman became stock still. The blood drained from her face.
"Who are you people?" she whispered. Tears welled up and spilled down her cheeks. "Where am I?"
Betty took a step forward. "My house. Lady, I don't have kids and don't know who you are. How did you get in here?"
"This is my house, but the bedroom looks different." The woman raised shaky fingers to her mouth. "We were playing a stupid game. My brother Brendan was dressed as a wizard. Said he had a real magic wand and would send me to another dimension."
Her eyes widened as she looked at the five people she didn't know. An ominous weight filled the room.
Her whisper was barely audible when she said, "How do I get home?"
