SHE CAME FROM NOWHERE — AND THEN SHE VANISHED.
At a U.S. airport, customs officers were stunned when a woman handed over a passport from a country that didn’t exist. Every stamp inside was from places no map had ever shown.
They led her to a waiting room for questioning — but minutes later, the security footage showed something no one could explain: she slowly faded from sight until she was gone.
No trace. No exit. No explanation.
Only her passport remains — silent proof of a traveler from another world.
Investigators poured over every frame of the footage, replaying it again and again. The timestamp was intact. The angle clear. No camera glitch, no cut. The woman simply dissolved — as if she had never been there at all.
Her passport became the central mystery. The cover bore a strange metallic insignia — a spiral of three intersecting rings — and the word Taured. The pages were filled with detailed stamps from countries no one had ever heard of: Belmora, Osyra, Nitonis. Each bore intricate seals, holograms, and airport codes that meant nothing to any known system.
The languages inside were real — fragments of French, Japanese, English — yet woven together in a syntax no linguist could fully decode. When the officials traced the address she’d listed for her hotel, they found it didn’t exist — not even on blueprints of the city.
Days passed. Then weeks. The footage leaked, of course. Some said it was a government cover-up. Others believed she was a time traveler, or someone who had slipped between parallel worlds.
But the strangest part came six months later.
A Japanese businessman, flying into Tokyo, handed over his passport — almost identical to hers. The same symbol. The same strange country.
He, too, disappeared before he could be questioned.
Today, the two passports rest in a locked glass case in an undisclosed location — the paper refusing to age, the ink refusing to fade.
Every few years, under ultraviolet light, new stamps appear — from places still unseen.
And on the last page, in delicate handwriting no one can trace, three words have appeared:
“I’m still traveling.”
