Cockroach KARA FELT A SUDDEN PULL. She was sucked into the portal as if it were a vacuum.Everywhere she looked was pitch black. She felt her body being pulled, or was she falling? She couldn’t tell. The strange thing was—she wasn’t frightened anymore. She let herself be pulled into the abyss. A speck of light and then, suddenly, her surroundings exploded in light. Brilliant stars of crimson red and blue light rotated around her, like a giant brilliant funnel. Her legs went out from under her. Light exploded from everywhere and her body started to spin horizontally. She gazed at her arms and hands. Tiny golden particles drifted up from her body, hovered for a moment, then stuck themselves back. It was like looking at a motion blur version of herself.And then it stopped.Kara felt a strain on her body. With a sudden heave she fell onto a hard surface. Her vision was blurred. Lights still popped the inside of her lids when she closed her eyes. She blinked several times. The images before her soon became focused.
