I am walking home from the park after a long hard day of playing basketball and I don't feel like walking anymore , because I'm very tired. I decided to take a short cut and cut through the woods, because I figured that would be the quickest way I’d get home. While going through the woods I ran into this weird and awkward looking little machine. I wasn’t sure if I should touch it or not, because I thought it might belong to someone, or that it might be dangerous. I looked around me and saw no one near, so I took my chances and opened up the machine and observed it. I wasn’t sure what it did or how it was used, but I still went in it and took a seat.
There were many different controls in the machine, but one very tempting red button caught my eye. I couldn’t control myself so I pressed the red button. All of a sudden, all the doors shut and I was strapped on to my seat with a seatbelt. The machine started to shake and make loud noises, and next thing I knew it elevated into the sky and went full speed. I was terrified and didn’t know where I would end up. All I could do was wait and see. Finally, it started to slow down and I had arrived somewhere.
I was very scared and I didn’t want to get out of the machine. The environment and the surroundings were one that I had never seen before. I couldn’t figure out where I was so, I finally decided I would get out and check this place out. I started to walk and look for people or a store, so I could get some information. I found a group of people and asked them, Where is this place? In English, and they didn’t answer. They looked at me like I was stupid, and they started speaking some different language. I couldn’t figure out what language it was but it was one that I have never heard of. I decided to go to a store and see if everyone here didn’t speak English. It turned out to be that no one knew English here, I was even more scared now. Luckily they had the same alphabet as the English alphabet, and I saw a sign on the street that said, “Oradell”. I figured this couldn’t be the same Oradell where I go to school but it was! And what was even more surprising was that I found out I was in the year 9000! There was a red signal in the machine blinking 9000! 9000! 9000!
It was very interesting. Our own Country doesn’t even speak English anymore. There is a new main language in America. Also, there were no streets, because there was no cars. The main source of transportation was the flying car. Instead of bicycles, kids had jet packs and could get place to place in a matter of seconds. The rich owned a device, where they would say the food they wanted and it would make it for them automatically. There was no such thing as a schools or college; people would do whatever they wanted, when they wanted. The people were very ignorant and snobby, compared to the people back at home. I don’t think I would be accepted in this community. Their life styles are totally different than the ones we have back at home.
I am still very confused and scared, because I definitely do not belong here and I don’t know if I could stay here much longer. No one understands a word I say, I don’t know how to use the new electronic devices, and I don’t think I am accepted in this community. I am going to go back to my machine and getting out of here. I go back into the machine and the machine starts making weird noises and an explosion occurs. The machine won’t work anymore. I really want to go back home, I don’t know what to do or how to fix it. Am I going to be stuck in the future forever?!
