The Portals

A feature linking all of the stories I will be working on is the portals. Each reality is in a state of flux, though some are more stable than others. This results in portals opening up between realities that are approaching each other.

Even in these breaks there are still small barriers between realities that prevents air from traveling through unless the air pressures are significantly unbalanced. They are not particularly dangerous, the worst that could happen to someone walking through this barrier completely unprotected is that they might lose a layer of skin and some hair. Depending on the strength of the barrier, germs and small particulate may make it through.

Each reality follows its own rules. While realities that cross over always have at least one aspect in common, and usually more, there are usually differences, from such small things as names of people to such significant things as the rules of magic, or laws of physics.
