We know them as north and south, east and west, up and down. These three pairs of directions, plus the doubleheaded arrow of time, define the universe that we know. Mathematical physicists tell us that there may be seven other pairs of directions, so that the underlying reality is in the form of at least an elevendimensional manifold.
One current theory also suggests that the Big Bang at the beginning of time was not really a bang at all, but something that more closely resembled the shattering of a violently shaken bottle of warm champagne. Each bubble, differing however slightly in at least one fundamental characteristic from every other of its fellows, became a separate and distinct universe, coexisting with them against the background of this elevendimensional manifold.
Very near to ours, closer together than than pages in a book, floats a bubble that is a nearidentical twin to our own. This universe contains a twin of our galaxy, our system, even our planet. Every aspect of this other Earth is practically identical to our own. Indeed, aside from some minor details of geography, languages, names, and personalities, the planet could have been our own. Our own, that is, until the summer of 1349 AD...
In our world, the plagues of the Dark Ages came and went, slashing and chopping at the fabric of society, paving the way for the Renaissance Era where people were scarce, and thus valuable if only for that scarcity. In this other world, so nearly a twin of our own, one of these plagues mutated into an even deadlier form, exploding out of control until the human race was all but extinct.
