Wow, That's different! You might be onto something new here or maybe not. I am
not a sci-fi person, but I find this intriguing, Beth. Is this the start of something but just an offering for the contest? Well done. Nancy:)

I've never been interest in fantasy. Real but unexplained things do interest me. I perfer to write what I actually know to be true. Several people want me to continue this. but my original idea was to do it once to say I'd tried it. Thanks for a great review and the six stars.
Comment from Navada
What an interesting concept. I really enjoyed this and it is most creative. I found myself actually hoping there was a subsequent chapter or two - I feel that this has the potential to become a much larger story. I have questions about both sides in the other dimension and the third of the world population mesmerised by falsehoods - I'd love to find out what happens next!

Thank you for the nice review. I have several people suggesting that I turn this into a longer story. I will give it some thought. Since this it the first time I've tried Science fiction, I'm not totally comfortabel with it but I may continue it.
Comment from Mary Vigasin
This story is inventive and brilliant. You keep the reader's interest right to the conclusion. Bringing in the element of today's society problems woven into your story without it being heavy-handed was so well done.
Good luck in the contest.
Best regards,
Mary

Thank you Barry. Several people seem to think I should take this further. I'll give it some thought.

Comment from Jacob1395
I think this could work really well as a longer piece, as I want to know what happens to her next and if these beings allow the portal to remain open. I can totally understand why they've cut of man from this realm, we are definitely too power hungry. A really engaging piece Beth. I enjoyed reading it. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you so much Jacob. Several people have asked me about extending it into something longer. I'll give it some thought.

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Why not? It could happen.
Well written. Good work.
I only hope that it is, indeed, only about a third of the population that has crossed over to the dark side.
Good luck in the contest.

Thank you, Wayne. I believe it could happen. I hope it only a third of the population too. Somethings it feels like over half.

Comment from Lea Tonin1
Super cool, really like this one. I'll have an ability such as that, but go through what she went through in order to get it crazy! This is a very interesting story. I always like stories like this. My favorite genre for fantasy or I also like stephen king conner books too. This one struck my interest right away. I think it's an awesome job. I appreciate the ideas behind it and your fluidic way of writing your characters are quite believable. A senior issue with grammar a static sentence structure or subject matter. I hope your evening is awesome!

Thank you Lea. I've not tried writing fantasy fiction before but I do have some of the things if your can call them abilities that this character does. I see images and patterns behind my eyelids. I've also had dreams come true and once some force took over the wheel of my car and prevented an accident.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
A fine inventive story with an element of truth within. Falling over in my home is one of my biggest fears because living alone means that help would not come for quite a while. Having said that, I do try to be careful. Your story is a little scary and this idea of yours is very clever, good luck with the contest, love Dolly x

Thank you Dolly. I really appreciate the review. I've fallen many time just tripping over something and being careless but I've never injuured my head. However, I've known someone with head injuries that had strange things happen afterwards.
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
That is a very weird way to end up communicating with people in another dimension. It certainly will make the life of the person affected very different going forward. This is an interesting SF/Fantasy story.

Thank you Carol. I think science fiction is weird. I've avoided it in the past but I thought I should at least try writing it.

Comment from jim vecchio
Something must be in the air! You posted a weird tale very unlike your family drama offerings and I just finished a straight love story with no angles and told in a traditional manner (I will post tomorrow). Maybe we both need to be turned around. Anyhow, this was a virtual 7!

I'm flattered with a virtual seven an and very happy with a real six star reviews. I guess we are both trying to expand the type of writing we do. I really appreciate the review.

I don't want to fall into a rut and don't care for writing that dishonors The Lord.
