Hey you! Did you find a magical wardrobe, a secret door, a mystical portal or an enchanted walnut that will transport you out of the humdruggery of 21st century Earth and into another world full of delights and alien bugs that burrow under your skin and make you commit atrocities? Good thing I caught you before you did anything – my advice has saved many a cinematic sojourner, and it will for you.
1. If you find a door or passageway to another world, you have a 60% chance the world will be a fantasy garden of delights wherein you will be a savior, and a 40% chance that this is a hell dimension of unbelievable suffering and pain and Rosanne Barr. So the odds are telling you that you should scoot on through without giving it a second thought.
2. Before you leave, make sure you use the bathroom and pack a few rolls of toilet paper. Facilities in other worlds are sadly lacking, unless you like getting back to nature in a foul way.
3. Yes, you’ll be able to come back. Probably. Maybe. It might take an unbelievable amount of effort and the possible assassination of the Death Queen of Seven Knives to do so, but you’ll be back in your bed before you know it. But don’t let that cause any hesitation, it’s very standard for these sorts of things.
