Jasmine and Blossom Hamilton aren’t just sisters, they’re best friends . . . most of the time. That didn’t change when Blossom turned into a zombie.

In this universe, many different realities exist simultaneously. You have to be careful when it comes to what you think about, wish for, and especially what you say. Thoughts and words have more power than you know, and you can turn your sense of reality into one you may not like. We were given the ability to create... so make sure your creation is as positive as you know how to be. If it is not, then be very mindful of what needs to change, because eventually, your own creation could end up being your own worst nightmare. This is The Scary.
