Chapter 11

• When I opened my eyes, I had one of those moments when I wasn’t sure about what was going on. Then again those seemed to be all the moments I had for the last day. Looking around slowly I took in the dark furniture and high ceiling and everything came back to me. It hadn’t been a dream, I was not waiting to wake up in a hospital. I was really in a place called Alterealm. What I was going to do about that, I still didn’t know.
• A light knock had me bolt up and stare at the door. “Come in.”
• I was expecting Quinton to look around the door, and was more than pleased to see a woman peek through the opened door. This was the first female I’d seen since coming here and part of me was very relieved to see her. Stepping into the room she smiled at me. If this was a normal place I would have said she was in her forties, but since no one I’d met so far seemed to look their age, which was a good thing considering the ages they were, I had no idea how old she was. She had strawberry blonde hair, all pulled up into a hairstyle that I was going to say as being from the nineteen fifties. Not only was she the first female, but she was also the first body that wasn’t well over six feet in height. I pegged her as being a few inches taller than my petite five foot four.
