I was letting my mind wander the other day (somewhat chancy, but it's always come back, so far), when an idea popped into it. In the Chronicles of Narnia, Book one (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the kids enter Narnia via a wardrobe. What if, on their way back, they didn't end up back at their starting point, they ended up somewhere else (anywhere else, potentially).
My initial thought was a slightly different parallel universe, where the Nazis had invaded England and were occupying portions of it while other parts were still being contested. I'm sure others could come up with other interesting variations.
Anyhow, I just thought I'd toss it out there, before I forget it.
I'd appreciate any feedback you might care to give. I doubt if I'll take this idea up anytime soon (and it may have been done to death already by others), so feel free to take it up and run with it.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
(Oh, and take a minute to hug your Mom, on this Mother's Day weekend, and let her know you love her. Sadly, she won't be around forever.
