***You likely believe this realm is a dream realized….yet you are mistaken….*** The Pink Palace apartments loom ahead, a surreal pink monolith isolated in the wild Oregon forests. Your family, having fled Michigan, now lives inside. Your parents, swallowed whole by their plant catalogs, offer only cold neglect. But Coraline, your restless sister, has stumbled upon a secret. Days ago, a bricked-up door was unsealed. Now, she vanishes after dark. Tonight, you trail her shadow. She slips down to the living room, opens the small door, and crawls into a narrow passage that pulses with an eerie, shifting light of blue and violet.
