A Bright White Crack was a Cwej short story released by Arcbeatle Press freely on their website.

A Bright White Crack was the fifth story in total to feature elements from James Wylder's 10,000 Dawns series in conjunction with established Doctor Who characters but the first that is currently considered a valid source by this wiki. This story was released as part of Cwej: The Series and featured Seventh Doctor companion Chris Cwej as the titular character whereas all previous stories had been released as part of 10,000 Dawns or one of its spin-offs making it a pre-existing franchise at the time of its crossovers with the Doctor Who universe. A Bright White Crack also featured the licenced usage of properties from Obverse Books and BBV Productions.

Plot

After recording a log, Chris Cwej remembers his most recent mission, how he had been sent by the Superiors to forcefully prevent the Democratic Saturnian Entanglement from unravelling the mechanics of he Linear Universe by placing the rings around Saturn, which are actually disintegrators. He's interrupted by a garbled message, and then he falls through the floor of the Vicinity, and into the void, outside the universe.

Chris remembers how when his Superiors had exited the universe, they how found that it was in the shape of a Picard Horn. He notes this, as he finds himself trapped in this void for twenty-eight days. On the final day, the garbled message changes, and Chris is engulfed in a bright light.

He wakes up in the courtyard of the White House, and he sees a press conference around the President. He goes to investigate, being in the body of a Cwej who appears to be a reporter. He finds out that Great Britain has been struck by a meteor, and that's he's in the 2030s.

He considers helping this version of Earth, but he decides against it. He gets a taxi to a nearby hotel, where he rents a room. He turns on the TV to a live news broadcast, where he sees the catastrophic destruction on this Earth. Somebody has let Chaos matter on Earth, causing gravity to be heavily affected, making things float off into the sky, thinning the atmosphere.

Washington DC is destroyed, as the new lack of gravity is causing untold chaos on the city. The ground Chris is on is now floating at a near 90° degree angle, and he morphs himself using regen energy to climb down the rising pavement. He grabs onto a fire hydrant on the ground, and he uses the mind transporter on the back of his neck to get to safety.
