Gazing Beyond

A Beginning

To say that I was a good person is to tell a lie. While I wasn't the worst person, I certainly wasn't the greatest. But before you judge me, know that I did one good thing with my life and ironically it was my last. After all, I did risk my life saving the only person who was ever kind to me, and she will never know how thankful I was.

Before I go any further I should probably give you the basics. My name is Dr. Frederick Erin, I'm 32, and I'm from Burford, England. I'm a well respected astrophysicist and I'm the first in creating a machine capable of allowing someone to access the infinite scape of the multiverse.

Me and my partner had designed and created this machine to solve the Earth's resource problem and discover alternate life forms of separate realities, to say we expected it to work was giving us too much credit. The chances of getting the exact reality you wanted was almost improbable, and even then you don't even know what is different there.

The facility that we where in was mainly a research base and had practically next to no security, mostly basic camera's and a single security guard. But we had the benefit of almost no one knowing where we were due to the facility being hidden and secret.

We had been fine tuning the machine and making sure there was no problems with it, we had basically slaved on that machine for the longest time and had recently tested it to make sure it worked with organic matter by sending our test turtle Myron.

Now that you know that, let's get back to what happened. You see, a rogue military force had infiltrated the facility and were demanding that I hand over the codes to the machine, and in a brisk and very stupid action I set the machine to overload and locked myself in the testing zone. And with a wave (and admittedly a stupid look on my face) it went off, destroying the machine and sending me across the multiverse. The worst part of that wasn't me being hurled to who knows where, but was that I never said goodbye to my only friend Ethel. And as I was seeing the mass of colors that was the vortex, I never would have guessed where I had ended up.
