Chapter 6. How soon is now
Syd woke up, not sure of where he was - but surprised that
he was still alive. He was lying on a blanket out in the open
and casualties were being left on the ground beside him.
"Welcome back to the land of the living."
Syd sat up. He recognised the voice.
It was Harry - one of the ambulance transport officers who
sometimes came forward to get the wounded from
the aid posts.
"How'd I get here Harry?"
"You don't remember?" Harry asked.
Syd tried, but couldn't.
"Do you know where you are Syd?"
The question bothered him. He asked wounded soldiers the
same sort of thing to judge their level of consciousness.
Syd looked around. "Outside the casualty clearing center."
"Good," Harry said," then you know how things go from here.
A Doctor will come and have a look at you soon enough.
You got a head wound Syd. The bullet parted your hair quite
nicely when it bounced off that thick Yorkshire skull of yours."
A wave of tiredness washed over Syd and he lay back..
Harry smiled and put his hand on Syds' chest.
"It's not enough for a ticket home Syd, so rest up while you can.
The War won't be going to go anywhere, any time soon."

The Other World
Every living being becomes a Traveler while sleeping. This means that part of what is called “consciousness” detaches from the rest, carrying us towards worlds located in parts still unknown of the universe. Most of these places have things that inhabit only our dreams. Worlds were physics is not the same one we know. Where magic exists and mythological creatures walk amongst the people. Most of the Travelers become mere spectators in this world, unable to influence it. With some luck, they can go back to their bodies and wake up with the memory of a pleasant dream. Others do not have the same luck and end up stuck in the limbo, unable to return home. There is one other category of Travelers. These are the ones strong enough to create bodies and separate themselves from the life they had before. These Travelers start a new life without ever thinking about returning to the place they once called “home”. This story is about the last kind of Travelers and their trials in a world filled with spells, magical creatures and monsters. **
