Cerebral Projection

She looked at the vortex stretching out before her, the Gateway of light crackled, pulsating and scattering splintered shadows everywhere. Thousands of multicoloured trails spiralled their way deep into the vortex’s centre. At the other end was High Street Kensington of 1935, dim and distant. Enticing.

Erica took a cautious step into the dark portal. Soundless wind buffeted her on all sides. She continued forwards. The floor was solid underfoot, despite looking like a murky winter’s night. Mist swirled amidst the light trails in a corkscrew along the sides of the vortex all the way to the portal’s end. She took another cautious step forward and was almost knocked off her feet by the wind that rushed from the other end. On all sides, a fleeting, scratchy haze of images whizzed by her; swirling until she didn’t know which way was up or down.

He shook his head and, seeing her struggle, took her by the elbow and steadied her as she laboured on.

By the time they took their final step out into 1935, she felt mentally exhausted. Her knees quivered, and she stood shaking, catching her breath. “Well, that was an experience.” She laughed weakly.

“I can only assume it’s because you’re a Medium that you—” Michael stopped abruptly. “Erica!” He sounded shocked, even alarmed. She turned to find him reaching for her face. “Your burns!”

She felt her cheeks and neck and realised there was no discomfort: no tautness nor blistering. Her burns had gone.
