Wormholes - Fractures in Dimensions

Chapter 4:

Dark the moon was hidden by clouds not a star to guide me and no city lights to brighten the resting world my car noisily growled as I drove quickly through the roads of the South West of which I knew very well; I eventually came to the house the big building was white limestone built into the hill where the stone was quarried, it had views across the now filled lake, which used to be farm lands in 2012, the melting icecaps had forced the rise of the seas most sea defenses were just built bigger but there were area’s like this one where it couldn’t be saved, and so a new large lake appeared in the SW. I parked, grabbed my things and got the keys for the place – there wasn’t going to be anyone but me tonight and tomorrow. Opening the door a lone cat followed me in meowing loudly “hey sparks do you want food?” if a cat could smile I recon it would be this cat at the thought of food, my mum and sister always had to hide food from the damn thing. Walking my bags to my old room I saw my Sis had decided it was hers now, grumbling I took my stuff to the top floor were the teen room was, dumping my stuff up there I went back down to the ground floor, I was followed by sparks he waited patiently as I found the food and then served him some in his bowl. Relaxing a little bit I took the presents and pushed them under the tree.

Jumping slightly I had relaxed and was sprawled watching TV on the family screen, the damn cat had just popped up onto my stomach without so much as a pitter patter of feet “mischievous git aren’t you?” Stroking him he began purring “cute though” we watched cartoons, documentaries and one movie essentially wasting a good 5 hours and it was nearly midnight the cat fast asleep on my stomach bobbing slowly up and down as I breathed slowly, I was warm and so was he and I couldn’t move him so I pulled a cushion to my head and got comfy for the night.

COCK-A-DOODLE-DOOO! “Oh for the love of…” it was around 8AM first sunlight in winter, and I had forgot the neighbors have chickens and roosters I rolled slightly falling face first off the sofa shocking me more than anything “SHIT!” I was awake now getting back onto my feet – the cat was gone I shrugged and stretched as I walked to the toilet. Upon my return the house was empty and felt almost cold the boiler was on though and nothing seemed to be wrong, I shrugged and wandered to the fridge making myself a rather naughty treat; a peanut butter and strawberry jam sandwich sitting down at the breakfast bar over looking the large glittering lake, whilst I enjoyed my treat Sparks ran like a mad beast from upstairs drifting around the kitchen to the cat flap and out the door – this cat was lazy I’d never seen him run, so I went to the window, I couldn’t even spot him so I looked upstairs to see what made him run I couldn’t find anything it was irritating me at the back of my mind but I let it slide instead seeing if I could bake some cookies for the holidays.
At around 3PM I had everything done and I just had to clean up, but before I could start there were noises of animals outside – since Sparks ran out I ran out to see if it was him. To my amazement animals from all around the house spread out and away from it the chickens from next door were desperately trying to get away clucking loudly once they had fled it was too quiet the only noise was myself and my shoes on the floor. CLANG I spun on my heel, something was inside I sprinted inside just as I watched the knife from my plate join the fork digging itself into the wood of the staircase in the center of the house human curiosity got the best of me I walked towards the phenomenon – I had studied Physics at High school and a term in University I was intrigued before I had a chance to touch or try to explain I suddenly could feel colder and as if the stairs were pulling me into them I watched as more items from around the house slammed into it I started to feel adrenaline build my reactions normally to fight became fear and to run for all my worth – I pushed back with my large muscles the walk to the door felt almost uphill each step became harder I could still feel gravity but this was also pulling me towards the stairs I managed to grip the door handle I screamed to the wind opening the door, the world looked pinkish my mind boggled for a second losing my grip I was pulled like a stone back I gripped to the door entrance to the living room – I had a feint idea of what was happening to me although the odds were unfathomable nor could I comprehend how I could survive this my worst and most real fear arising to choke me when I needed to be clear headed, I jumped with all my might grabbing back onto the open door managing to get out of the house once more the outside a deep red as I looked back to the center of the house it was blue tint onto its normal colours; I screamed shouted and cursed the heavens – I knew I had to face this fear eventually but not now, I was so young not only that I hadn’t gotten to the point in my personal wealth to put things into motion I cried screaming and shouting even my voice now began to change in pitch as the physics become less Newtonian and more Quantum. Pain, Pain rushed through my hand and arm it was closest to the center of the house it began to spaggettify as the gravity pulled on each particle pulling each at a different rate I screamed in agony it felt like knives pushed into each nerve cell and then burnt it. I roared in defiance against this pain trying to pull my arm back to me the view now a darker shade of blue except the center at which nothing was there, it made me feel sick it was not white nor black like anything I could describe with words it had no colour I wasn’t sure if my head could even compute the data into something I could understand… and so I stared into the abyss as it stared into me.
Through the mindboggling pain I roared with laughter shouting curses to god if there was one he’s hear my last words I cursed at the devil lying down on the wall of the house I watched as reality faded to a bloody red and then black I could feel pain still but I had somehow overcome it like some shocked soldier from war with his guts hanging out I could feel each atom pulled from each cell which pulled each part of my being apart “I.. Ah Failed All of you…” tears fell down my face – I always thought I’d get to do something amazing, change the world, save someone even just to save one life would be great, my fear of death still made me weep like a cowardly boy running from his bullies, “ I WILL FIGHT THIS FATE! YOU HEAR ME!” I stood up looking down on the abyss screaming to the event unfurling around me shaking with fear and rage I jumped directly aiming for the hole in reality, Roaring with pain and anger as the painful experience of speggitification happened almost all at once.
