This paragraph must be included in any publication involving Jenny Everywhere, in order that others may use this property as they wish. All rights reversed.” One Saturday afternoon, a terrible rainstorm broke out. Jenny Everywhere, a teenaged girl, sat in her living room, bored out of her mind. She had gotten all ready to go to a local amusement park with several of her friends, but was stuck at home, after a warning had been sent out via the radio concerning the state of the weather. “Attention!” the meteorologist had exclaimed less than a minute earlier. “There is a severe flood warning in effect.

Jenny’s power enabled her to transport to any place, any time, any dimension or universe. Her shifting powers were nearly endless! Jenny grinned, as though she were thinking up some evil deed. “I can’t let myself rot away here in this stinkin’ house. I’m feeling up for an adventure!” At which point she closed her eyes and winced. A great burst of light sprang forth from her body, lasting a period of a second or two. And when it ended, she was gone… TO BE CONTINUED
