Come on a journey - or series of short journeys, to be precise - into a world that will seem familiar, but into situations that probably won't...
A young woman wanders the streets despondently; void of course, and void of hope. If you were to see her gazing longingly through the windows of the family homes she passes, you would be forgiven for thinking she had perhaps lost a loved one, or suffered some kind of breakdown. But you wouldn't see her. Because she's dead. Without recollection of ever even living, she seeks satisfaction through some kind of vicarious living; an "eternal spectator" of a sport that only tends to make onlookers depressed. But one day, somebody does see her. And suddenly her world is opened up to allow just one more person in. Luckily for her, it is just this "one" that can help herΠ²ΠΒ¦
Elsewhere, a young boy troubled by hauntings becomes an unwitting pawn in the games of the very parapsychologist brought in to help him, and a mother is re-united with her long-lost child, after the ever-inconvenient barriers of space and time are temporarily suspended. These are indeed, Strange DominionsΠ²ΠΒ¦
