An Unplanned Time-Travel

I was on a hiking trip with my parents and my little sister to a hill. We went on an outing after almost twelve years. When we reached the spot from where we had to start climbing. There were many tourists there. We took our backpacks and climbing equipment and started our ascend. On our ascend, I abruptly fell inside the ground. The ground beneath me suddenly collapsed. I was falling down at a great speed. My parents and other tourists panicked and I don’t know what was happening upside. I was falling freely into the underground tunnel and I was really scared. I was screaming in my loudest tone. But no one could help.

On the other side of the tunnel, I landed on a lush green ground with trees as tall as the Eiffel Tower. I noticed people. But they looked different from the normal ones. They had a third eye and a big skull. They had bigger bodies. no one noticed me when I fell. So, secretly I started to find a way out of the place. When I walked for a distance, I saw a market area where there were more people and many shops. All the shops were of the same architecture. There was a tall tower in the middle of the area which showed the date time and year. The year read 5,68,297. I was panic-stricken.

Within a few minutes of fall, I had traveled through so many years. I had no idea how I would get back home. I imagined my parents' faces. They would be in so much grief. What would they be feeling right now? They would be crying. These thoughts increased my panic. I went from person to person and started asking them how can I go back. I had traveled through time unknowingly and I had no there. To my bad luck, no one understood me. They spoke a language that resembled ours in no way. It was completely different. I was tired from my efforts and night was about to fall. No one knew me and those big people made me even more scared. But I had to keep on searching. I wanted to experience time travel but not in such a situation. I fantasized about it being like movies.

Walking through the streets, I reached the entrance of a forest. In the dark, the forest looked terrifying. I didn’t know what animals might be there inside. However, I had to keep on moving until I find a way to get out of the place. Moving forward, I spotted a tree that had an opening. I entered the opening and found a bright light at a distance. The path to that light was slimy. My feet often got stuck and I had to pull myself in process of which I fell many times and was all covered in slime.

Falling and moving forward, I finally reached the spot and without any further thinking, I entered it. The next second, I was standing in front of the gate of my house. I felt relieved that I was back at my home. I knocked on the gate and my mother opened it. She saw me and started crying. I looked awful. She hugged me and took me inside. She washed me and gave me food. My sister was sitting and watching me the whole time. I saw her and smiled. I was happy to get back home.
