One Light: Beyond the Portal

By: Arnold, Michelle

Some love stories are too big to fit into just one universe.Ari is eleven when she first hears voices seemingly coming from inside the wall of her house. Scared but inquisitive, she pulls back the baseboard and discovers a portal. She peeks through it to see her own family in a terrifying scene she knows can't be real. She quickly convinces herself she must have imagined it.
Thirty years later, Ari is a middle-aged woman struggling with chronic illness, but married to the love of her life, her vibrant wife Mandira.
One night she decides to share the secret she's kept all these years, telling Mandira about the other world she once imagined seeing in the wall and the different life she witnessed.
Mandira's simple response changes everything: "What if it was real?"
With her mind open to the possibility, Ari starts to hear the voices in the wall again, and this time when she investigates, she opens multiple portals showing alternate universes in which she and Mandira are living slightly - or completely - different lives.
Mandira believes Ari has this gift for a reason and that they have a duty to bring their other selves together. Ari isn't so sure. Is it safe to interfere in other worlds? And if they physically venture through a portal, could they be cut off from their own world?
As Ari grapples with her worsening disability, she works on honing her gift for reaching other worlds, with Mandira serving as her moral compass.
But can a power like this ever truly be harnessed?
