Plot A person finds themselves trapped in an alternate reality, where everything is crooked and intimidating.

Samantha woke up in a world that wasn't her own. It was a crooked, intimidating alternate reality that sounded like a agony made real. The sky was dark and portentous, the structures were worsening and twisted, and the air was thick with a strange, metallic scent.

She stumbled through the vacated thoroughfares, searching for someone, anyone, who could help her. But there was no bone

around, no sign of life except for the occasional howl of commodity unseen in the murk.

As Samantha walked, she began to notice that the world around her was shifting and changing, warping into commodity indeed more crooked and crazy than ahead. The structures grew high and further menacing, the sky turned a sickly green, and the ground beneath her bases sounded to palpitate and writhe like a living thing.

Samantha knew that she had to find a way out of this alternate reality before it consumed her fully. She searched for any sign of escape, but all she set up were dead ends and horrors beyond her imagining.

She came across a group of people, huddled together in fear. They told her of a way out, a gate that would take her back to her own world. But they advised her that the path to the gate was fraught with peril, and that only the bold and most determined could make it through alive.

Samantha did not know if she had what it took to survive in this intimidating alternate reality, but she knew that she had to try. She set out on the dangerous trip, her heart pounding with fear and adrenaline.

The path was unfaithful, filled with all manner of horrors and twisted monstrosities. Samantha fought her way through, her every step taking her near to the portal, but also near to the point of madness.

She saw effects that no mortal eyes should ever have to witness grotesque brutes with too numerous branches, feral beasts that hungered for her meat, and indeed foreigner beings that defied all description.

But Samantha pressed on, driven by a fierce determination to escape this agony and return to her own world. And eventually, after what felt like an eternity of terror and struggle, she saw it the gate.

It lustered and palpitated with a sickly green light, waving her towards it like a temptress's song. Samantha knew that there was no turning back now. She stepped through the portal, her body destroyed with pain and terror.

And also, suddenly, she was back in her own world. The sky was blue, the air was fresh, and everything sounded to be back to normal. But Samantha knew that she'd noway forget the horrors she had witnessed in that alternate reality, and that a part of her would always remain trapped there, in that crooked and intimidating agony realm.

As Samantha tried to acclimate to her normal life, she set up that she could not shake off the feeling that commodity was wrong. It was as if the alternate reality had left a mark on her, a stain that she could not wash down.

She began to witness strange and intimidating dreams, filled with images of the crooked brutes she had encountered in the alternate reality. She woke up screaming in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat, and unfit to shake off the feeling of being watched.

As the days went on, Samantha's internal state continued to deteriorate. She came decreasingly paranoid, convinced that commodity was following her, lurking just out of sight.

Her musketeers and family tried to assure her that everything was alright, but Samantha could not shake off the feeling that they were all lying to her, that they too were part of the crooked alternate reality that she had escaped from.

One night, Samantha woke up to find herself back in the alternate reality. The crooked structures and sickly green sky impended above her, and the air was thick with the scent of essence.

She knew that she had to find the portal again, to escape from this agony formerly and for all. But this time, the path was indeed more unfaithful than ahead. The brutes were more crooked and grotesque, and they sounded to be closing in on her from all sides.

Samantha ran for her life, her heart pounding with fear and adrenaline. She could feel the brutes closing in on her, their claws and teeth just elevation down from her skin.

And also, just as she allowed

it was each over, Samantha saw it the gate. It lustered and palpitated with a sickly green light, just as it had ahead.

Samantha dove towards the portal, her body destroyed with pain and fear. She could feel the brutes clawing at her, trying to pull her back into the alternate reality.

But just as she was about to step through the portal, Samantha realized the horrifying verity she wasn't the only one trapped in this alternate reality. There were others, just like her, who had been allured in by the pledge of escape.

And as Samantha stepped through the portal, she knew that she had just condemned all those other trapped souls to a fate worse than death, trapped ever in the crooked and intimidating alternate reality. Top of Form
