Excerpt!
Her arms and neck hair rose like before when she entered the attic. The mysterious door glowed again. Summer glanced downstairs and said, “Oh, don’t do it.” Then her evil twin said, “Oh, come on, chicken little, just do it.” Tapping her toe, she reached over and opened the door.
Light engulfed her. Summer gasped, instinctively raising her hands to shield her eyes from the blinding brilliance. The intensity of the light was overwhelming, and she felt a strange, almost electric sensation wash over her skin. There was a sudden whooshing noise, like the sound of wind rushing through a narrow tunnel, and the earth seemed to roll beneath her feet. She stumbled, losing her balance as the light continued to envelop her.
Her heart pounded in her chest, a mixture of fear and wonder coursing through her veins. Time itself seemed to stretch and bend around her. She could feel the fabric of reality shifting, pulling her through the unseen currents of time. The sensation was dizzying, and she fought to maintain her footing, her senses overwhelmed by the experience.
When the light finally began to fade, Summer found herself back in the attic, but it wasn’t the same. The attic was different this time. Gone were the beautiful desk, sofa, and finished walls. Instead, the space was barren, filled with nothing but dust, spider webs, exposed beams, and odd pieces of furniture. She blinked, trying to adjust to the dim light and the stark contrast to what she had expected.
Her mind raced, struggling to comprehend what had just happened. She felt a mixture of confusion and trepidation, wondering why the attic had transformed so drastically. The air was thick with the scent of old wood and neglect, adding to the eerie atmosphere.
Her heart sank. Her hands trembled. Nausea washed over her.
She shuffled past the old chests and crates and peered outside—no neighborhood—snow instead of summer. Several vintage cars left ruts in what appeared to be a snow-covered driveway. She heard music downstairs, something old and jazzy. She turned and caught her reflection in an old mirror. Oh, my lord. Her hand flew to her chest.
She shook from head to toe, her entire body trembling with fear and disbelief. She gasped loudly, instinctively taking a step back, her heart pounding in her chest. The person in the mirror did not look like her at all. She cried out in fright, unable to comprehend what she was seeing.
The reflection showed a beautiful, petite woman with dark brown hair swept high on her head and a single ringlet dangling over her right shoulder. She wore an Edwardian red velvet gown that looked like it belonged on the set of Downton Abbey. Summer’s breath came in short, panicked bursts as she stared at the unfamiliar figure, her mind racing to make sense of the impossible image before her.
She reached up, hesitantly touching her own face, her fingers trembling as they traced the contours of her cheeks and hair. The woman in the mirror mimicked her movements perfectly, confirming that this strange reflection was indeed her own. The shock and bewilderment left her paralyzed, unable to tear her eyes away from the mirror.
“What... what is happening?” she whispered, her voice barely audible, filled with both awe and terror. The unfamiliar attire, the different hairstyle, everything felt surreal. She took a deep breath, trying to steady herself, but the sight of the Edwardian gown and the transformed reflection only intensified her disorientation.
She stumbled toward the door she had come through, but the light was gone. She flung the door open, and a balcony overlooked the woods.
What am I to do?
She was nearing a panic attack when she heard a familiar voice and maneuvered toward the steps. “What? Rogan? Are you here?”
