A parallel universe is conceived of as coexisting with and having certain similarities to the known universe but different from it in some fundamental way. It is theorized as existing alongside our own, but it is undetectable.

In this thought experiment, you will imagine that you can visit a parallel universe. Please respond to the following prompts:

  1. Write the science fiction story where you are transported to this parallel universe. What do you witness or experience?
  2. Describe life in this parallel universe. How is it similar to or different from our universe and world?
  3. Imagine that you come across yourself in this parallel universe. What happens next? Write down your story.
  4. Write a science fiction and adventure story where you go to this parallel universe and then come back.
  5. Write a story where your life in the parallel universe is much better than the current one. Why is it better? Can you learn from this life to change your conditions here?
  6. Write a story where your life in the parallel universe is much worse than the current one (something to be grateful about). Why is it worse? Write a dystopia where you are trying to escape from these hellish conditions.
