A Simple Girl's Guide to Surviving the Realities

by Mary Barber

Would you believe if someone told you there is another reality? Would you believe me if I said there is another world out there, where people possess certain abilities enabling them to manipulate the weather, natural elements, and even human emotions? If your answer is not 'no' to those questions, you must be living an interesting life.

Not long ago I would have said 'no' too, without hesitation. It all changed, however, when a couple of weeks ago I was thrust into that very world, with having no clue how or why I got there, what I was supposed to do, or how to get back to my normal life. And there was no guide to help me manoeuvre through my suddenly upturned life, either. A nuisance, really. Complications didn't end there, though. A good thing too, we wouldn't want life to get boring.

So, on top of finding out about the existence of a whole new world, I soon found myself in the middle of an eight-month-long kidnapper case - yes, with real criminals, victims and crime scenes - alongside with new friends, new enemies, and a surly, mostly unwilling detective. Because apparently, letting someone with a day-long investigative career loose around a criminal investigation was completely normal only in some places. I've already seen a lot of crime scenes close up in front of my TV screen, though, so... what could go wrong?
