Hello friends, it is with joy that I welcome you to this publication. It is wordsmith fiction, and I hope to maintain the spice and leave us with nothing less than spectacular. Therefore, sit back and tight. Let's have some fun...

The Untraceable Passenger

At around 11:45 PM, a train from Tokyo arrived at Los Angeles Union Station. Among the passengers was a damsel by the name of Zikora, who, for her striking physique and calm body language and facial expressions, was outstanding. As she drew near the customs desk, Officer Rian observed something out of the ordinary about her passport.

The Mysterious Nation

Zikora's passport showed that she was from a country called "Parapata", which Rian had never heard of. The passport appeared genuine, having stamps from different countries, like Canada, Australia, and the US. Zikora spelled out that Parapata was an island nation in the Pacific, but at the time Rian asked for its location, she didn't hesitate.

Assenting Information

Zikora tendered a valid US visa and hotel reservation; meanwhile, when Rian inquired about her business in Los Angeles, she made a reference to attending a conference that was actually scheduled to be held in LA. Everything about her documents was genuine, and also the information did add up.

Investigation and Detention

Rian's team carried out a further investigation, but their investigation was unfruitful as they could not find any record of Zikora's origin, regardless of the stamps of various countries on her passport for her previous visits, but not a single trace to her said country of origin. To that effect, they came to a conclusion to detain her for further questioning, but as they prepared to take her away, Zikora gave an intentional smile.

The Vanishing Act

The following morning, Zikora was nowhere to be found. The cell was empty, the locks intact without any sign of forced escape or footage from surveillance revealing her leaving. Rian was left in awe with more questions than answers, puzzled about whether Zikora was a time traveler, a spy, or something more extraordinary.

Theories and Speculations

Rian had trouble shaking off the feeling that Zikora's story was merely the tip of the iceberg. Was Parapata a real place, hidden from the world? Or was Zikora a pluridimensional being, traversing realities? The mystery remained unsolved, leaving Rian with no choice but to wonder or think deeply about the possibilities.
