Greg sighed. Why was his life this hard? Why couldn't he have the life he wanted? If he had, he didn't have to be the lab guy anymore. But that wasn't the problem, he kind of liked being in the lab. but not today, today he hated a lot of things. Like not being able to play his music all the times. Or the fact there were dangerous chemicals in the lab. but what he hated the most, was not being with Sara. If he had been, he didn't have to follow her with his eyes when she followed her boss. And if he didn't have to follow her with his eyes, maybe he would have seen the chemical that was about to explode. And then he never ended here, in the hospital.
He sighed again. He just wished he had a better life, with Sara, that she loved him instead of Grissom. He softly whispered his wish to the empty room before he fell asleep. His last thought was that it was irrational to wish, no one could hear him here.
Somewhere outside time and space was a woman. She was the watcher of all universes. Somehow the bodies her soul was in died at the same time in all universes. The next thing she knew she was here. And now she was in a good mood. On earth, in one of the universes, they just achieved world peace. She decided to grant a wish of a human at random. She heard this young lab rat wish something and got inside his dream.
"so, you wish the girl is yours, that you have a life together. I can send you to another world, one where your wish is granted."
Greg was shocked. Surely he was dreaming. But somehow this felt real.
"I need to know quickly, I need to get back to what I am destined for to do. But you can choose now and I will come back later to make it permanent, or to send you back, whichever you desire. And, to send you there, I need to send five people with you. They won't remember anything from this world as you do, but they will know deep inside they belong somewhere else. Do you want to proceed?"
Greg didn't have to think long. "Yes, I want to go." Then the dream stopped and he slept again. But he wasn't in the hospital anymore. He was home.
But also far away from home.
