The Destiny Pond

I don't really know where to start to even try to describe it to you. Have you ever been to a reality skip stop? You know, the places where reality seems to pause. The world around you continues, but you're in your own little bubble. Some places on this reality would probably be an empty parking lot at night, a dim, deserted warehouse smelling faintly of dust. The places that make you shiver in delight and another emotion you just can't place.

Skippers call them Skip Stops. Mostly because that's where the Skips skip realities from, but also because reality literally stops.

Skip Stops are gateways to other realities. Certain people have a gift, they can hop from reality to reality without losing their sanity. Most can't. Everyone can feel the Skip Stops though.

I used to be normal, just like you all. Right up until I got pulled in a bit too far at a Skip Stop. This is my story.
