A Story of The Other Side

The Other Side

Jade to the rescue

“Fine! But I’m taking the gun.”

Jacob already went through the portal, but I need to hear my voice to find the courage to follow.

On the other side, nothing changed; it’s still the same dilapidated dust-caked farm.

“Jade! Help me!”

I turn around. A dozen men encircle Jacob.

That’s different.

“Jacob!”

They all turn in my direction; they’re all Jacobs! Each version a Jacob at different ages.

“Ah! This time you came,” says the oldest. He must be seventy, at least.

“Yes, she did. And we won’t stop.”

I smile. I’ll look exactly like Mom in twenty years.
