Shifting tides

Chapter 1

In a bright room a young man sat in front of his computer while going through different contents unbeknownst him in a place that most could not perceive was a storm raging with countless possibilities.

In this small part reality boundaries and distinction became weaker. In most cases this manifested as mirages, but sometimes things shifted where they should not.

Looking at his floor Landon wondered if he should call the ambulance since he was seeing strange things for a few minutes now.

While reading another trash novel he noticed an obvious hole on the floor of his living room with almost three diameters in width. At first he was freaked out a little thinking about ghost stories and wondering if he got some health problems to see things at such a young age, he was only twenty four and he almost never got sick.

After the initial fear he got exited, finally something interesting happened even if it was strange he wasn't afraid of a unmoving hole.

Although Landon wasn't that afraid he wasn't dumb enough to go close to it.

Although the "pit" he decided to name the pit with his brilliant creativity was strange and unexplainable with his shallow scientific knowledge he tried different ways to test it out if this was a prank which he didn't believed for a second since he did not have many friends not to mention those who would bother to come the village he lives and dug a seemingly bottomless pit in his house then fill it with some strange smoke which wouldn't drift away from the pit.

After tying together two brooms he tried to prod the pits edge but the brooms end easily gone through the the edge he could see in his living room.

Taking out a electric saw from his garage Landon began to remove the floor boards around the pit but there wasn't any sing of it being wider than he initially thought.

After trying to take a few pictures he only got a picture of his living room with a huge blank spot in the pits place.

Landon didn't have any interest telling the government or other people about this hole in space, he read enough fiction and history to know those who discover groundbreaking things either got silenced with death or become written in books. Neither did he want, being dead obviously wasn't on the list he wanted to experience, as for being written in history wasn't something he was interested either .

As he wondered about what he could do with the pit he suddenly felt dizy and weak in his legs and collapsed on his floor not far away from the pit.

Landon suddenly felt his chest constrict with anxiety and fear he realised this wasn't a miracle waiting for him to exploit but a uncaring phenomenon like a storm. He didn't considered if the thing emitted some radiation or some invisible danger.

When he tossed things inside the pit and recorded the process it seemed like the items vanished in the blank spot, it didn't even look great or outstanding compared to some edited videos. He should have realised from the videos that it has an unseen affect it surroundings.

Due to the fact that the smoke didn't drift away or that the pit wasn't expanding and it was very interesting he ignored some basic information, the pit wasn't a pit but more of a wormhole. Although initially it didn't seem be dangerous but he literally poked the thing like kid playing with dirt. Who knows what kind of chemicals are in the air or what kind of radiation the hole released while he playing with it.

Although Landon was feeling weak he reached for his phone to call the ambulance but he stopped when typing the number, he realised in frustration and fear that even if he somehow survived to the hospital there is a huge chance he would got silenced, it wasn't a secret on the internet how ruthless governments are to keep secrets and he didn't doubt a wormhole was enough reason to be kept a secret.

Laying on the floor breathing heavily he wondered what is on the other side, when he tried to duct tape his phone to a broom then pushing it into the swirling smoke pit he only got back a useless phone which could not even turn back on.

The most eerie thing he noticed was when he used an utp cabel to tie his wrist watch then repeatedly lowered it down into the mist for roughly ten seconds and each time his watch showed time that it should not.

Each time it was different, hours, minutes, seconds, even if the watch was bad is could not possibly go through hours of time within ten seconds since it was a quiet old mechanical watch.

The feeling of becoming weaker did not go away but instead seemed to become stronger.

When Landon began to feel sleepy he realised that he is completely fucked, with his lifestyle nobody going come to visit him for at least a few day's and he only spent a less than a half a hour experimenting with the pit and he was already showing all kinds of worrying signs like bleeding nose, sweating, headache, being exhausted.

He got a crazy idea which was to jump into the pit.

Although he knew it it was illogical and if this was really a wormhole he most likely became a noodle or particles but compared to simply dying it would be better to see what killed him.

Landon stood up and walked to the edge of the pit of swirling smoke with great difficulty and looked at it calmly wondering what's on the other side he stepped into it with a weak jump.
