This is a little smidgeon I thought up to give you an idea what's going on, but I didn't include much about the world because I thought it would be fun to make it up together. After this I'll be accepting character sign ups, so just post it however you want as long as it gets the point across. And this isn't the best example of my writing abilities, I'm slightly hungover.

I hated leaving him. What kind of screwed up system only let's a kid see their mother every other weekend? I sighed as I got in my car and started driving home up Highway 101 back to Oregon. At least it's nice out, I thought, listening to a Lady Gaga cd. It was nice to look outside as I drove home, the blooming flowers and verdant green foliage making me feel a little better about leaving. After all, the kid was only a year old, it's not like he would remember all this. My stomach rumbled as I passed through a small town just past the stateline, and I stopped at a donut shop for a quick bite.
My hunger satiated temporarily, I got up to leave, but turning to the door, I was struck by a sudden dizzy spell. I groaned and grabbed my head, but it was already over. I looked up and my jaw dropped. "Oh my god..."

I almost fell down; the donut shop had dissappeared and I was now standing in the middle of what looked like medeival Europe! I started to panic, what the hell happened? It was then I started to notice some oddities about this new place. A woman selling flowers looked like she had cat ears and a tail, and I could have sworn I saw a dwarf being thrown out of a building, that upon closer inspection appeared to be a bar. I backed into an alley and sank onto the dusty ground, feeling the urge to cry start to prickle behind my eyes. "This has to be some kind of Life on Mars shit," I said under my breath, and I wondered if I was about to hear David Bowie's dulcet voice start singing in the background.

After some time, I got up, wiped off my face and decided to find out exactly what the hell had happened to me.
