Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is an idea I had about a week ago. I'd appreciate critique on the idea (not the writing, though. It's kinda rushed)

An astronaught returning home from a space station passes through a wormhole and finds himself in an alternate reality, where even he has become something strange and alien. He struggles to adapt to this world and remain calm, but his training begins to fail him and his mental state begins to deteriorate, beset by confusion, fear, alientation and homesickness. When he loses his last link to his own world-his wedding ring- he realizes he needs to return home, before he loses his last chance. But this world has never has two sentient species, and speciesism overcame nationalism, meaning the cold war, and the space race, never happened. He must convince his roomate, a suspiciously trusting, ambitious engineer, that he is something not of her world, and to help him find a way back through the wormhole.

Keep in mind, this is just a rough overview of the story as a whole, so parts of it may not make absolute sense. But what do you think of the idea? Would you read it?

um... good question.
No, I had been thinking about that, but all I have so far is the general, something happens to make him give up, and resign himself to staying in the new world. I just don't know what, yet.

Does it?

How so?

To me it sounds like that movie Planet 51, but I say go for it. It still has a good concept xp . You could change it to make it different than Planet 51.
