Even though Liam was in a state of shock, he was also in awe. The portal looked so..whimsical. The swirling galaxy colors, it was hypnotizing to look at. He couldn't resist, he couldn't help himself. And that is when he decided to risk it and step through the portal.

She thought it was just a fall. It was a return. When Ivory Jun Page comes home to a quiet house and a life she no longer recognizes, she feels the weight of everything she's lost pressing in around her. Grief lingers in every room.
