Two worlds. It all started with an abduction.
They have the same people, but there were slight differences.
Take Bob for example. In Earth, he is just your average Bob right? Successful employee, an ex-gambler, wife and two kids, happy. But what if for some reason Bob had decided to quit his job, went back to gambling and start taking heroin?
In Allerth, it would be six months into the future. What happened to Bob? He became a drug addict and lost all the money he had on gambling and drugs. He lost his wife and kids in a divorce because he changed. He ruined his future without preliminary caution and is now living on the streets.
Another major difference is that if he were on Earth, he would be 50 feet tall. You read it correctly. 50 feet tall.
But this story isn't about Bob is it? It's about Carter and Max, two people having the worst part of their lives at the same time.
The world around Carter is going to get a whole lot bigger.
This is Marcy's take on making a Twilight Zone-like episode.

The Angriest Angel
Chase Madison had a tough childhood. Raised in a broken home and struggling with undiagnosed ADHD, he was constantly in trouble, injured, and outcast. Life didn't get much better as an adult. Jailed, abandoned by family and friends, and fired from his job, Chase walks through life looking for the next bad thing to happen. But then he meets the Caelans. They look like and act like us, but they are not from this planet. They've lived here for years, posing as people of Earth, hiding in plain sight by using a mental ability called 'psy' to influence us-purely for the purpose of maintaining their secret identity. They have always been completely and utterly peaceful. Their planet had conquered and eradicated anger long ago. Something has suddenly changed, however, within the Caelan people here on Earth. After more than 50 years of peace, anger has infected some of them-like a sickness-forcing all 939 to be quarantined here. And when they meet Chase, they discover something even more disturbing-their psy does not work on him. His immunity to their power presents a serious security risk. On the surface, there doesn't seem to be anything special about him-other than having ADHD. Could this unusual condition be responsible for such a serious breach of Caelan security? Join Chase on the adventure of his life as he makes wondrous discoveries, improbable friends, terrifying enemies, finds unexpected love, and begins to believe in himself-for the first time in his life.Complete

"This world, it isn't like yours. It's more dangerous, but it has things that you would have never dreamed of." "Will you show me?"
