There is a trope in fiction of an unseen world laid overtop of ours. It could be a magical world, or an alternate dimension, a glimpse into the past or future, etc. An example is the Spiderwick Chronicles, where the characters look through a magical stone to see the invisible creatures around them.

A more modern idea is augmented reality. This is where virtual things are overlaid on the physical world through a phone or other technology (think Pokemon Go, if you’ve played that).

  1. An unseen world. How bout one where everyone gets along and helps one another. I’d so like to live in a place like that. The graphic is wonderful. Love the shading and how your heroine is in pure shadow. Very stirring to just see her outline 🙂

    1. Thanks, my friend. Yes, that would be a great world to be in. I like this graphic too. I used to do just random ones but these days I try to tie it to the prompt somehow.

      1. And you do a great job. I love looking at them because they reveal more and more the longer you do. 🙂
