The Other World || A Short Story

Estrid Blackburn was the new girl transferring to Riverview State University. A reclusive school with barely any touch with society, Elliot Walsh finds Estrid's missing background normal.

But strange things happen around Estrid. Dead animals, strange whispers, sounds of footfalls, until one day an earthquake struck the school.

And Elliot saw a glimpse of another world.

In the eerie corridors of the Other World, shadows move with a life of their own, and monsters lurk in every corner. Estrid, the girl with an unspoken power, must navigate this corrupted realm to uncover the secrets that bind her classmates to an ancient destiny. And Elliot, the boy with a bright smile and warm soul, must keep their morale up unless they succumb to the shadows.

Amidst allies and adversaries, loyalty becomes a fragile thread. The Other World hungers for its captives. Estrid, though a bridge between realms, faces the daunting task of leading her peers back home. If only it were that simple.

The Other World is a tale of enigmatic arrivals, shifting realities, and the haunting echoes that tether mortals to a realm both corrupt and captivating. Estrid is the linchpin & the journey has only just begun.
