Lost in La La Land

What if you could enter the world created inside of your favorite novel? Close your eyes and live for a day as Elizabeth Bennet or Harry Potter? Experience every magical sentence ever written, first hand? Escape the ordinary and live the extraordinary! That’s the sales pitch for Dr. Emma Hartley’s dream machine, Lucid Fantasies. The fantastical machine transports people into their favorite novels or movies, for a day. It allows them to live as their beloved characters did, savoring the slow kisses, frightening vampires, or magic as if it were real. Letting them forget their worries and get lost in a world of fiction. But that wasn’t why it was created. The dark purpose of it lies within Dr. Hartley herself. A secret, a flaw in the machine. One that she keeps hidden away. For some people, your greatest fantasies are also your worst nightmares. And the line between them is finer than we think.
