thank you. well, you may not believe this, but i'm from another world - from a place called earth. my name is katherine wells, and i'm from the british colony of gibraltar. time makes no diff- erence here, but there it was the summer of 1892. it was evening - i'd gone for a walk on the cliffs when suddenly a sphere fell from the sky. following its glow, i came to a shining gate made out of light. unable to resist, i stepped through it and awoke in this world. there i was thin and weakly, fit only to stay indoors. but here, somehow i am stronger, more alive, . more fully a woman. father! where am i?
