Start writing a story that…
Step 1: has a character who steals something important
Step 2: add this word: puzzle
----------------------------------------------------------
When your mother is missing in another dimension and your father is slowly losing his mind to grief, you start to think differently about the rules you've been following your entire life. Like stealing. What if stealing something, even if you know it's wrong, could be the clue to finding your mother? If you're like me, you take a deep breath, make a plan, and grab what you need. In this case, a key card that will open a door to a computer that may have all of the answers.
So there we were, my friend Laura and I, holding the stolen key card and trying to look inconspicuous in the hallways of my mother's company. It helped that I had visited many times before she disappeared and many times after to try to find out something, anything about had what happened, so most people were used to seeing me around. The building where my mom works is one of six labs at the center of her company's experimental division. They mostly research new medicines for diseases like cancer and MS, but there is also a secret team working on seriously amazing things that they aren't allowed to talk about. Except my mother broke protocol and told me and my dad about it, because that's how our family rolls. We love solving puzzles, and the kinds of things my mom works on are the biggest puzzles in the universe. Like time travel. And traveling across dimensions. It sounds crazy, I know, but my mom is so smart that if anyone can figure it out, she can. And she did.
