I wonder every day, if I can time travel? Go to space? What not?
Turns out I am not the only one. Are you out there too? Thinking about the same?
Wondering?
You know the feeling, the instinct, that something is happening…Going to happen?
I had that too…sadly, on a good sunny Sunday morning.
The whole day just went around by me, being worried, scared, precautioned,
observative and all the other intense words I have learnt in my English class.
The night time is the worst when you have such a feeling. Anyways, I get ready to sleep
after praying to God (a little extra that day) and its 2:12 am and I feel someone is staring
at me. I open my eyes and something weird is there. My heart, my brain everything
stopped working for a second with idiocy. I screamed so loud. The creature turns on the
light and it’s my sister. Wow!
After a lot of fighting with each other I finally got ready to sleep again but the weird
feeling just doesn’t leave me. I felt like someone was staring at me again and I open my
eyes and again someone’s there. I assume it’s my sister again, throw a pillow at her and
turn the other ways and see my sister in the bed next to mine.
So, who was that??
I was really sleepy to think about who or what it was so, I slept…
But I regret it now because I got a dream, just that, not exactly of me…It was like
watching through the eyes of someone else… I don’t know whose eyes was I seeing
through because I felt short (really short), confused and weird.
I started getting the dreams every day. The place is like earth but weird and better.
Greener, I guess.
I will be very honest. I liked the dreams. Sometimes I’m sleeping on grass and seeing the
starry night, sometimes I’m in a field full of different flowers, sometimes I’m having
fruits…I don’t know…The world just felt peaceful and better when I was asleep,
dreaming.
I started wondering about it every day. One night though, the dream was scary. It was all
dark. I felt scared and then I get hit by a pillow thrown by me.
I did not sleep that night. That’s kind of obvious.
It’s been a month and I didn’t forget about it, and, I did not have weird dreams, nothing.
Then on a sunny day, I came across a book in my library on loopholes in the galaxywhere people can travel from different time periods and places. There was also a paper
with the steps to make a loophole machine written. I obviously wanted to make it and
come to know how did I see myself in the dream? What happened that night?
It took me an entire month to make it and thankfully my father helped me with it
although he really did not believe it. It didn’t work as he said but I really wanted to time
travel!! I checked the machine again and again…tried to do random stuffs and I don’t
know.
The next day, somehow the machines lights were on. It was working!! I got ready and I
went to see what happened that night, whether it was actually me seeing me. Turned
out, it was the time travelling me who was hit by the pillow. The dreams, still a mystery.
