Prologue:

The journalist sat at her desk, typing the greatest story of her career painstakingly into a word document. She was very fortunate to have ended up with the information for this article. It was a case of being in the right place at the right time. If she wasn't there, then someone else would have ended up with the big scoop. This was her moment to shine. She just had to have the story written and submitted in less than an hour.

What should the headline be? Something like 'The Scandal of Fiction,' or something more subtle like 'Surprising Secret That Fiction Writers Don't Want You to Know.' After a moment of intense thought, she decided that the louder and catchier the headline the better. The whole world needed to know about this, as the information her story would drastically change life as we know it.


Twenty-four hours later the world was buzzing with the news, reporters were swarming major TV companies like the BBC and NBC, firing questions like bullets. 'How long had this been going on?' 'Why was the truth hidden from the public?' 'Who invented the technology?' Lines of questioning took place for hours before the doors were closed completely and the world was once again shut out.

It was less than half an hour before all the questions were answered. The BBC aired a short, informative broadcast on the matter. The wording was something along the lines of this:

'Greetings. Considering recent events, we feel that it is time to reveal the truth about works of fiction that have been produced. What I am about to tell you may come as a bit of a shock. Each book, play, TV show and movie that you thought were works of fiction are actually true. The events not taking place in this universe. In fact, each story having taken place in another universe and documented for your entertainment. All books converted to movie's are events that have taken place in the known universes, and were easily accessible to film crews. Stories in other written works of fiction are events known to have taken place, however there is limited, to no access to these universes at this time.

Ever since 1948, each TV and film production company has had access to universal shift technology allowing our employees to travel to these universes, many of which are similar to our own. Specific information on the technology will not be made available at this time.

All people who knew of this had sworn to keep this secret unless a time arrived where we felt it necessary to reveal this to you.

Now that the technology has been revealed to you all, it will be made available to the public, so that you may experience being in another universe for yourselves. Please stand by for other announcements'

The journalist watched the broadcast with satisfaction. They had done it. The truth was out and there was no turning back.

AN: I hope you like the concept of the story. The idea for this has been dancing around in my head for a long time, and I have finally started writing it.

If you like this story and would like to see future chapters posted, please write a review letting me know what you think. Any constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.

Any and all flames will be given to K.A.R.R. who will deal with them as he chooses.
