Sci-Fi Contest May 2019 Entry Of course Maia would do anything to save her father. Including going traveling to an alternate dimension and track down an artifact that could kill you upon touch if it deems you unworthy. Maia's father was diagnosed with Creultzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD). It's a rare disease that leads to dementia and always death as there is no treatment. But Maia doesn't take no for an answer. She meets Leo, Emma, and Alex, whose parents were in the same facility for CJD. Joining forces, they find out about an artifact that was written in ancient legends that could cure their parents. However, after the government found out about the dangers of the artifact, they secretly sent it through a portal to another dimension. The group of four continue through the gateway, facing dangers from two different worlds as they fight to find the one thing that could save their loved ones, and kill them all. Never did anything like this before, but I would really like to enter the contest. I might form it into a full on story later if I feel like it. Dear readers, Sorry if it's super short and summarized, but the contest has a word limit so... yeah.
