She had landed in a valley after that near fatal accident. There was an impenetrable face besides the bed.
“Well…. Thanks for saving my life.”
Silence…
“It’s such a beautiful place. And we always thought there were monsters in the valley.”
“We are careful about the projections that go out. The holes in the structures regulate sound and light effects.”
“Ohhhh…. “
“I’m sorry. But those who enter this place are not allowed to go back.”
Oh, Hank …. her words froze mid-air as she pictured him searching for her, and looked at the inscrutable eyes besides her staring coldly.
(100 words)

It’s like landing in paradise only to be separated from the one you love. Good writing, Reena.

How terrible to be permanently separated from your loved ones even in a comfortable place. I hope she can get back. Good writing, Reena. —- Suzanne

Intriguing. No one like to be held prisoner, even in the most pleasant environment. She will surely try to escape.

Ah, a normal continuation would be for the husband to rescue her or hire someone to rescue her. I am getting the feeling that won’t work here.

Uncertain.
You give us a heroine, but the gender of her rescuer is unspecified. The rescuer may be human or alien. They’ve rescued her, so probably aren’t intending her harm, other than preventing her from leaving. You leave me with the impression that they’re basically benevolent, despite the eyes ‘staring coldly’. You also leave me with the impression that the heroine and her man are courageous and resourceful.
I’m optimistic of a happy outcome eventually!
Good read!

That’s something to think about. One day entering a place and not allowed to go back. Great foreshadowing Reena Saxena

I wonder if not leaving means she has to stay or if the end from those cold eyes is near.

I suspect ‘near fatal’ may not be the whole ending here.
