Origins[]

C. S. Lewis was a writer and a Christian apologist, writing fantasy and Christian apologetics and was a friend of J. R. R. Tolkien. He died November 22, 1963, along with another famed author, Aldous Huxley. Both their deaths received minimal media attention compared to the assassination of John F. Kennedy that same day. Some of his famous novels include The Screwtape Letters, The Space Trilogy and his famed Chronicles of Narnia.

Effects[]

When an imaginary scene is created, that world is accessible to the creator and anyone else through entering the wardrobe. Time passes at different rates, with several minutes outside equating to a half day inside. Months could pass while only a few hours actually elapsed in their home point.

As an equalizer for the time discrepancy, normally treatable injuries become magnified in severity. Even a small papercut can bleed out in full if not immediately dressed up. Adventures in the other worlds become much more difficult as every action could be potentially life-ending.
