Afternat
Afternat is a fictional concept or term that has appeared in various creative works, often within the science fiction or fantasy genres. It typically refers to a reality or dimension that exists parallel to, or as an alternative to, the known world. This "afternat" might be a place where supernatural phenomena are commonplace, or where the laws of physics are significantly altered. The nature and accessibility of the afternat vary greatly depending on the specific narrative in which it is featured. Sometimes it is a hidden realm, only discoverable through magical means or advanced technology, while in other instances, it may be a place that consciousness visits upon death or through altered states of being. The concept allows for exploration of themes such as the afterlife, alternate realities, and the limits of human perception. Its specific characteristics and the role it plays in a story are entirely dependent on the author's imagination and world-building.
