This choice: A gate into a sexual fantasy world. • Go Back...Chapter #3Opening the Gate by: Unknown The five acquaintances looked at each other. Cindy spoke up. “Did you say --”
“A gate into a sexual fantasy world, yes,” repeated Dr. Wills. “Actually, we believe we have the artifacts and talismans to create multiple gates into multiple fantasy worlds, but so far, we only have one gate. Our other experiments are continuing, though.”
“There’s no such thing as magic,” stated Brett confidently.
Dr. Wills raised an eyebrow. “Okay, if you prefer, we’ll say it’s a wormhole to a parallel universe. Is that less magic enough for you?”
“But that’s not possible,” stated Brett, somewhat less confidently.
Cindy piped up with, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, right?”
Brett rolled his eyes.
Liz ran a hand through her platinum blonde hair as she asked, “So, like, what’s this about sexual fantasies?”
Dr. Wills explained, “The reason we have all of the items we have is that they were accompanied by stone tablets, carvings on walls near where they were found, markings on the objects themselves -- all of them have evidence to indicate that they create a gate into a world that’s more, shall we say, sexually charged than our own.”
“Whoa!” Jay looked a bit excited. “What does that mean?”
“Well, we’re not sure,” Dr. Wills admitted. “So far we’ve seen through the gate, but no one’s explored the world beyond, and that’s where the five of you come in. We’re going to send you there, just for an hour at first, to make observations and report back to me. Now, if you end up liking it and want to visit later --“
Brett interrupted. “Wait, you want to send us through some gate into who-knows-where and do who-knows-what --“
“Why are you worried?” Dr. Wills asked. “I thought you said it wasn’t possible anyway.”
Brett sighed.
“It’s going to be safe,” Dr. Wills assured them. “With this first artifact, we know there’s a spell you can use to return before the hour is up -- just a few syllables you have to say.”
“How convenient,” said Cindy.
Dr. Wills grinned. “Well, this is the artifact we have that we know the most about, which is why we’ve successfully opened its gate.” She turned around and picked up the wooden staff, almost as tall as she was, which had been leaning against one corner of the office. “This was found together with what was more or less an owner’s manual.”
She raised it and dropped it to the ground three times, each time creating a satisfying “thud.”
“It’s glowing!” exclaimed Liz. The top 6 inches or so of the staff were indeed glowing white, almost resembling a fluorescent light bulb.
Dr. Wills said nothing, merely grabbed the staff with her other hand as well, lowering it until it pointed at the far wall of the office.
A beam of light shot out, past the suddenly startled orange-jumpsuited freshmen, who quickly turned themselves around.
The wall faded into nothingness. A new scene came visible where it used to be, looking completely real. There was suddenly a light breeze in the office, and a different smell. The five saw that they were apparently about to step into... | Members who added to this interactive story also contributed to these: |
