"Where am I?" Alicia's words came out before
she opened her eyes. Once open, she was staring straight at the rooftops of a
city through a wall to wall window in a small studio apartment.
"Ah, you're back. Want tea?" Graham was sitting
at the table in his open plan kitchen cum living room, inspecting Alicia's
necklace and pendant.
"Where am I?" By the looks of it, she was in
this man's apartment. A strange man's apartment. A dream come true, but not the
way she'd imagined.
"This is my place, not much but it makes do."
Alicia sat up on the sofa. Nice flat, shame about the
face. She slapped her hands on the cushions to get Graham's attention.
"Look, I...I...what...who...who are you? What do you
want? Why am I here?"
"That's a lot of questions. My name's Graham."
"Yes, that I do know." Ordinary face, ordinary
name. "Why am I here?"
"Because of this. Or rather what it leads to."
"My head hurts."
"It would. Monk...humans aren't meant to go through
portals, least not live ones."
"What?"
"Portals. I sent you through two...well, three to get here. They're
not exactly healthy for physical beings."
