The Brass Reflection
Twisted Lives in Otherworlds
Chapter 1
by

A mysterious mirror, humming with forgotten energy, is the gateway to an Otherworld. When reality fractures, an unsuspecting traveler is thrust into a parallel realm. A world like their own but different- somehow. Perhaps a place where skyships rule the skies, magic is engineered, and danger lurks behind every polished cog? Or maybe it's a world exactly like their own, but with roles dangerously reversed? These travellers are chosen for reasons known only to the mirror. They face dilemmas and challenges- physical, mental, and moral. Do they survive? Do they thrive? Will they embrace the changes or collapse under their weight? At the end they will view themselves in the brass reflection, and decide whether they like what they see.
Author's note: This is going to be a repository of some short stories and novellas I am working on. The first one will come out regularly over the next week. I might tweak them as I develop the meta-lore of the anthology over time.
Whose story? Whose fate? Whose choices?
