Dimension Holes

Imagine a world where people are always afraid, always carrying a gun, but trying to go about a normal daily life. The year is 2756 and scientist have discovered that other dimensions do exist. They have for a few years been sending things across to the other dimensions. They don't know how many there are but they have deduced that there could be millions. However, by sending objects into these other dimensions the thin membrane that divides each dimensions has started to collapse. Governments of the world is actually working together to strengthen the membrane but do so that they would have certain locations that things or eventually people could pass through. Their has been rumors of strange happenings taking place all over the world. People disappearing and no body being able to locate them anywhere. People have started saying that these lost people have fallen through the membrane into another dimension but the government has issued statements that this could not happen. That people can not go through this membrane and that nothing is wrong with the membrane. The only thing is the government is running out of time. The disappearances are being more frequent lately and their is a bizarre twist. There are no reports of people observing in horror the crossing overs.

One dusty evening a mother and daugther was traveling together. Someone how they had gotten a hold of a device that could detect dimensional holes. They had heard of a place where the membrane hadn't been distrube and it was the last place on Earth that wasn't effected. They where trying to get there and start a new life. They had been warned not to trust anyone and that some people who where caught in these membrane holes where taking people with them, even whole families crossing over at once. They really didn't believe this but they didn't want to take any chances so they keep to themselves. This particular evening Sandy, the mother, had noticed that they where being followed. All of a sudden a man jumps out and grabs the girl. The mother notices a plusing glow from the guys neck and that he is fading in and out. This guy was being pulled into a whole that must have formed inside his body and now he was going to take her little girl. Jack jumped out from behind the mother to which the mother screamed. Jack said "I'm here to help, don't worry". The girl was now starting to pulse in and out of phase too but not as bad as the guy. The little girl was screaming for her mom and trying to get away from the guy. Jack raised his arm and shot the guy. The guy disappeared all of a sudden and the little girl jumped back into phase with this dimension. She ran over to her mother and grabbed her with a big hug, crying. Sandy thanked Jack for saying her little girl. jack asked them where they where going because it wasn't safe for them to travel alone. She told him of the safe place. Jack said he didn't esist but they started off anyone. Jack walked the other way thinking crazy mother, but then he couldn't do it. He caught up to the mother and told her he would take her to this place just to prove he was right. The mother was grateful that Jack would be traveling with them.
