There were eight moons in the sky and many stars beside. It was not the only thing strange about this place, the least of which being the fact that she shouldn’t [i]be[/i] here at all, having stepped through what she was almost certain was the front door of her house only to end up somewhere else entirely, but it was the aspect that Sarah focused on the most.

The sky didn’t just change; she should know with how much time she spent looking upwards. It wasn’t immutable, objects in orbit moved, the moon’s face changed with the phases and even the planets in their solar system were not static fixtures in the firmament, but the sky you saw one night was more or less the sky you saw the next night. This was a sky she had never seen before, an entirely new sky, an unearthly sky. So it stood to reason that this wasn’t… earth.

Sarah jumped when she heard the voice. She’d thought herself alone in this strange place, but turning her head she saw that wasn’t the case. The woman was older than her, a little bit shorter, and had blue hair; they looked just as confused as she was and asked if she knew where they were. Sarah didn’t know where to begin answering that.

“I-“

She was interrupted when from among the pillars of gutted televisions a single screen came to life and began to play a strange news report. The contents sounded like something out of a pulp sci-fi series, talking about strange and cryptic things and when it was over, the blue man turned to look straight at them, at her, and said her name.

“We’re not… we’re not on earth anymore, are we?”
