I am Lady Assassin Krunch. Okay, not really. But I'm dressed like her at the CosPlay Con I waited forever to attend. And I play her in the live action role play group I belong to. It's nerdy.

I mean, sure, he’s hot, and he saved me from a pack of monsters, but I don’t trust anything about this place, let alone a surly alien. I’m going to find a way home.

The universe always has a plan. One minute, I’m chilling out in the closet, drinking champagne, and about to order a pizza. The next, I’m transported to another planet with sweeping red dunes, crimson mountains, and pastel wildlife that make me question if my champagne was laced. Every time I babbled to the night sky on my wobbly rooftop lounger, I didn’t actually think someone else, in a far-off galaxy, might be doing the same thing. Turns out, I was wrong.
