I thought Rene had been making up her "other side" stories until she dropped that tiny piece of rock into my open palm. I lifted my hand up to examine it. It was real; that was for sure.
"That's a key, not just a rock," Rene said as I stared at the pink crystallized mineral.
"A key?" I asked incredulously. "A key to what? It hurts like hell!โ The pain began to crawl up my arm and spread into the rest of my body. โ Wh-- Wha--, What's happening to me?โ
Rene grinned and handed me a makeup mirror. "Now do you believe me?"
I examined my reflection. "What did you-- what happened?" I couldnโt take my eyes away from the image reflected in the small, framed square. My face pulsed with bright veins, illuminated beneath my thin skin, like a thousand neon lights. Horrified, I spun my head towards her, and there was that impish smile again!
"Now you can see what I see," she said, looking triumphant. And now you have the power to cross to the other side.โ
In the reflection, I saw a dark pool growing behind me, but when I turned around, the ground was dry. I looked back into the mirror. The pool continued to grow, becoming a large pond.
โYes I can see it,โ I said, โ but how do I cross to the other side?โ
"You will find out," she said and pushed me back into the great dark lake.
As I was consumed, I heard whispers all around me. I shivered . I couldn't see anything. I couldn't breathe. I needed to break through the surface fast, my lungs ached for air. But the surface was nowhere to be found. Then there was that whispering again. All of a sudden, just as I had given in to drowning, I found myself standing on the shore of a very strange land. Everything around me was pink and bubbly. Wh - where was I?
Out of nowhere I got tackled by a human size teletubby, it showered me in kisses.
โYouโre where you belong, now!โ it squealed.
I shoved the creature away and staggered back. โRene!โ I screamed.
She was nowhere to be seen, but her voice came to me on a gentle breeze. โYouโre where you belong, now.โ
I scowled and stalked away from the insufferable dancing creature. Whatever this place was, whatever Rene had done to me, I would find out. I was now only certain of one thing. This was definitely not where I belonged.
