Short Horror

There are other worlds all around us. Every day, there are near brushes with those worlds, though we rarely know it. Sometimes, the bubbles of existence that compromise everything we know and don't know come close enough to collide. Sometimes they merge and become defined as each other. Those other worlds can be seen in the abrupt acts of violence perpetrated upon the unsuspecting. It can be as simple as the sudden, darker aspects of the people we encounter in our lives. Those other worlds can be glimpsed in the random moments of impossibility we seem fated to encounter.
