I was working in a very tall building in an advanced society. In this society technology never advanced anything it was magic or the equivalent. The entire city was run by magic. However it didn't seem steampunk, instead it came across as very similar to a future advanced society, all sleek buildings and building up skyscrapers taller than possibility. This was a high end building run by witch doctors in suits looking perfectly normal, even tho the might have been a clergy of sorts, and they taught young people their profession. I was a girl, a secretary/ student, working there and squirly stuff was going on. The most memorable moment was almost flying out a window. A man who was my boss or a boss of mine was showing a scary lack of empathy towards a situation. After further investigation on my part, which the company discouraged, I found out he was doing something wrong. The first time I suspected him I thought he was possessed, then he still did it, and I thought it was him. He got arrested and then replaced when I realized it was a gel creature in the landline phone. I flung it to the window, which is hundreds of stories up, and slammed the window repeatedly on it, this red orange gel. But I ended up going out the window instead, and dangling all that length. Media came in and shot the whole thing live on TV and the company couldn't cover up what was going on any longer. There was a boy being molested. There was a house I was living in as a child in this world, it looked like a typical haunted house without the haunting, perhaps a poor end of town. It contrasted with the bright advanced rich looking city. I was after something, climbing stairs, running, seeking something. It took a few times through the house after another thing when I realized everytime I went to the attic a man was on top of a little boy. I finally saw it one time and eventually talked with the boy alone. He wasn't actually a boy. He was of another species. He endured the raping, he had no choice, was basically held as slave. This is what lead me to investigate this company in the city. There was an investigation I was doing, a separate one, which lead to me peering into this magical well. When I say magic I am keeping with this world's technology. It was a high end, cut well inside a laboratory factory. It was red, and simply looked like a large circle cut into the ground, drilled really, but when you looked inside you could see snippets of other realities, billions upon billions of others realities all reflected in shards of time crystals stretching down the length of this well. The din of it, before you even saw it, was deafening. So many voices, all the briefest snippets heard of their reality. A woman in charge of this laboratory was arguing with me. She was scared, the well seemed to be this horrific thing which threatened her. She felt scared by the things which could come through it. I was shouting at her that it wasn't just her insipid human ego which was being threatened by her fear but trillion trillion trillions of living people which existed out there. She wanted to throw a bomb in the well and blow it up. The devastation of life if she had would have been the height of blasphemy. Life is so precious and to destroy that much life made was unthinkable to me. I think I made a comparison that humanity as a whole was less than pocket change in the totality of life that existed. I was trying to make her hear me, hear this concept, but she wouldn't.
