Imagine a world where the chicken never thought about crossing the road. A place where technology doesn’t exist. No, not ‘caveman times’. Right now – yes, your little corner of the world. Imagine if you were growing up in this exact same era, yet things are completely different than how you are used to them being. For just a moment, close your eyes and pretend that you aren’t completely human. Imagine some parallel universe in which you live a completely different life.
Two different identities residing in two separate universes that never met. Is that plausible? Well, does part of you wish for it to be true? Yes? Then, it’s definitely plausible. Anything is.
Oh, so now you are dreaming of such a universe and such a lifestyle. Well, dream on, my child, and never do stop.

Two different worlds are invading the spacious universe, yet one lies in a parallel universe from the other. Earth – the world that all is familiar with. It’s normal and can sometimes be called ‘boring’. On Earth, on the exuberant street of Kenyon Ave. lies a small local restaurant where all of the teenagers and ‘hipsters’ cling to – Kenyon Burgers and Fries (K. B. F.). There is a door in the back room of the restaurant that has been locked with the key lost for centuries. No one knows, but behind that door lies a parallel universe – Elmwood. This universe is none like the one you know – the internet is not a thing that exists there, but why would Elmwoodians need it? They have magic. Yes, as in witchcraft and wizardry. Elmwood is everything but what you would expect.
