A Boy and His Interdimensional Rift
"You can read these, but only after dark. When your Mother has gone to sleep, understand?"
"Yes, Grandfather."
"And never out loud. Only read with your eyes. You're a big boy. You can do that, can't you?"
"Yes. Thank you!"
"You're a good boy, Howard. Now run along."
Reading by the glow of the dying embers, I wish I'd paid more attention. I would have known what to do when the shimmering rift appeared like a luminescent watery egg, would not have reached into the void and grasped the warm tentacles that reached for me.
But it was so cute...
