Immortal Stories: Eve
“It wasn’t an easy trick to learn or teach. Proper technique required finding a level on the other side of the veil that was distant enough from the edge of the world to make rock as gentle as water, but with enough solidity to give one purchase. It was also very difficult to breathe in this scenario.
Still, she made the surface in what felt like only a few minutes. In Earth time it was more, which was why when she got there, Rick and his car had already driven away.
Also, the buildin...g was on fire. Loud klaxons were sounding inside and the sky was awash with red flashing lights from emergency crews approaching the road.
It was not a good time or place to step out of the veil, so she didn’t.
She needed to get home to Rick, and make certain he was all right.
* * * Travel in the veil was deceptively easy, although there were tricky elements if one weren’t paying careful attention. Once you understood how much smaller the world became the deeper you went, it was a simple enough thing to find a level that allowed for one stride per mile if one were so inclined. It required concentration—this was the tricky part—because time accelerated as well.MoreLess
