Transmigrated Teri is a WIP that is part of a “post 200 words a day during July” challenge issued by
. Episodes posted daily will be of various lengths and sometimes will stop in the middle of the scene. You have been warned!The set up:
Teri Travers, a nearly-50 bitter “office lady” who has not led a happy life gets in a massive car accident after being sent home on the first day of COVID lockdown in 2020. She (and her dog) wake up in a strange new world that is also strangely familiar…that’s right, she’s been transmigrated into the world of her favorite 1990s fantasy novel series, the massively popular, critically disdained, and incredibly tropetastic Allisar Fireborn Chronicles by the infamous Chadwick Jarvaldson, aka “Fuckin’ Chad” to all his very annoyed fans who are still waiting for the final book to be published.
Previously: “What. The. Fuck.” She stared at the dog who was now talking inside of her head. He stared back with a broad doggy smile on his face, his tongue lolling out.
“Milady!” The old woman called out loudly as she pushed herself up out of the chair. “Ah! Please, do not strain yourself!” She patted the bed coverings.
“What is with the ‘milady’ bullshit?” Teri snapped at the woman. “And who the fuck are you? You are not a nurse!”
The woman gasped and clutched at the, yes, literal pearls draped around her neck.
“I demand to speak to the managing nurse on duty!” Teri said, cringing a little inside at becoming a real Karen about the situation. Needs must, she figured.
“I will get the doctor, Milady!” The woman tottered out like a high-speed turtle.
Theo plopped down next to Teri and looked up at her. You are so grumpy! Leg hurt?
Teri stared at him. “This cannot be happening.”
I don’t know about that. Seems to be happening! Did you know there are a lot of cows around here? They are so funny!
“Cows.”
“Milady!” The same so-called doctor from last time rushed in. “How are you feeling?” He peered at her but made no move to check her pulse or anything resembling medical care in general.
“My dog is here,” she said, pointing at Theo.
I am here!
“Ahem. Yes. As unusual as it might be, in your situation, he is, ah, yours, after all.” The doctor looked very uncomfortable about it.
Teri narrowed her eyes at him, and he stepped back. It was very gratifying to think that she still had it.
“This isn’t a hospital at all, is it?”
