A World and Life Beyond Mine

It was a cool morning on July 21, 1991, and I was getting ready to go on a walk with my guy friend, Alex. I got the leash off my desk, and went down stairs to get my dog Molly. I put my shoes on and went out my front door where Alex was waiting for me. It was 10:22, and we ran down to the trails, and started walking.

As Alex and I were walking, I saw a bike statue with names on a metal board. Pretty cool, they were a part of a bike club. We saw a weeping willow, and then turned a corner...

Where I saw the same bike statue? Yeah, I decided not to notice it, and continued walking. I didn't think Alex noticed it either, but he did make a weird face. We kept walking, and chatting, and then Molly pooped, so I picked it up and left the bag there, so on our way back I could pick it up. A few paces later Alex said, "Is it just me or are we going in circles?" I said that I felt it too, and we saw a bike rider, and asked them if they were stuck too. He pretty much just said no, and then he said that we were a crazy couple.

That really shook me, I am actually engaged, but definitely not to Alex. We kept walking again and I heard a small ding. I looked at my phone and it said that it got a message.

"Hey Hannah, I was at Starbucks, and I saw Clark with Jamie, and they looked like they were on a date, sorry to let you know this so soon to the wedding, love you friend, Chloe."

Wow. I just broke up with my fiance. I dropped a tear or two, and Alex asked why I was crying, so I told him. He kissed me on the cheek and said he loved me, and was sorry about Clark.

"You missed," I said and kissed him. We kept walking, this time holding hands. Molly needed to rest, we had been walking for hours, so we lay down in the grass, and then I noticed that the only person we saw that day was the bike rider. I looked at my phone and it said 9:47, but I was starting to get hungry, so I asked if Alex could order pizza and deliver it here. I knew it was a weird idea, but it didn't work. We went to sleep, and I had a dream that we got out at the same time we saw the biker that day. I told him the next morning and he said it was worth a try. We tried it, and we felt a small, hard breeze. We tried walking to my house, and it didn't work. We were still stuck, and my phone was at 100% literally two seconds ago, but was now dead, same with Alex's.

Fast foreword three years:

Me and Alex got married, and we had a beautiful baby girl. We never got out, but we can go anywhere in this area, which was about as big as 2 football fields, and we had a small house to live in. Molly found a stray dog, and we kept and cherished him, his name is Clash. Molly had about 13 puppies, and she is doing great. Me and Alex think we went thru a dimensional whole, but we do know that animals of all kinds live here with us. Every day the 2 football fields grow about 10 feet long, and 5 feet wide, and new fruit trees sprout every day as well. We were having a good life, and knew we would need to have many more kids one day, but for now we would only have 2. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I am pregnant. I haven't told Alex yet, but I will soon.

"Hi molly and puppies, how are you this morning?" I said, rubbing her head. Her Australian Shepard mix puppies were getting HUGE! Clash walked over to me, and his fluffy Golden Retriever coat sheds floated down as I petted him.

"I am gonna go down to the creek," I said to Alex.

"Bring Marley," Alex replied.

"She needs a nap!"

"I will try to get her down to sleep." he finally said.

"Clash!" I called him to come, I don't ever want to be alone in the forest.

Just then the wind blew, and a flyer came swooping down.

"Alex, Hannah, and Molly, missing 6 years today, have now been pronounced dead." And then a picture of us.

I wondered how it got in here, but I knew that every once and awhile, a small gap opens. We have many things from it; Clash, a brand new mattress that got left, or flew in, we don't really know, a 1994 calendar, a bag of Cheetos puffs, and now this flyer. I got the bucket I weaved, and then headed to the creek.

About a half a mile from the cabin, I saw a gorgeous tree, but it was different. A normal tree has a single stem or trunk and branches that support leaves. Beneath the ground, a tree has a root system that acts as an anchor and stores the water and nutrients the plant needs to grow. But this one has glowing branches, leaves, and a thick glowing trunk. Glittering fruit hung from the branches, bright glowing orange flowers were blooming too. I went to grab a fruit, but remembered that I might be separated from my family, or even worse. I wrote a note, and sent it on Clash's collar. I told him the key word "go home" and he ran back towards the cabin. A few minutes later I heard footsteps, and looked back, expecting to see Alex and Marley, but instead I saw... Chloe?

"Hannah? I thought you were dead." Chloe said.

Like for more, I am also writing this as a book, so be watching!!
