"If Time Travel Was Real: My First Adventure"

-

I've always been interested with the idea of time travel, but I never thought it might be ever possible. I still remember a movie I used to like very much, which is “Men in Black 3”. It was so amazing that how Agent J went back in time to 1969 to save Agent K; what if I could do the same? What if it was possible to having a "time jump" ?


"The Time Jump Scene"

As still recalling back the adventures in Men in Black 3 and sat on my couch, I reached for the TV remote and pressed the play button without realizing it. I was losing myself in the memories while the famous opening scene had started. Just then, I saw an old pocket watch that my grandfather had given me on my coffee. I picked it up and wound it. Suddenly, my surrounding changed. The lights flickered, the air seemed heavy, and before I realizing what's happening, everything went black.


When I opened my eyes, I was no longer in my living room. However, I found myself in the center of a crowded street with many vintage cars. Everyone was wearing clothes from the 1960s. The smell of freshly brewed coffee and cigarette smoke filled my nose. This is New York. Although I had seen it before, but this is not the New York as I knew it recently.


"New York in 1960s"

I tried to fit inside the crowd. People gave me a curious glance, they are eyeing on my different style, modern and trendy outfits. I realized quicky, what I know in Men in Black is time traveling are riskier that we think. Every small part changed could have an unexpected consequence. Had I already changed something just being here for a while?


I forced myself to stay calm even though I am that panic. I went back to the starting point where I have been here and expect to find some hint that can send me back home. Suddenly, I felt there was a pocket watch in my jacket. The pocket watch was warm and throbbing with electricity. Was I actually sent here by this pocket watch? More importantly, could it bring me back?


I took a very deep breath and made a wish that can bring me back. As I wound the pocket watch. I was surrounded by a whiff of wind, the 1960s New York went out of focus as fast as when I had arrived. The next thing when I realized, Men in Black 3 was still playing on the TV.  I was sitting there in a fog, holding the pocket watch tightly.


Was everything a dream? A manifestation of my imagination brought on by the film? Maybe. However, the feeling in the 1960s are so realistic and telling me it wasn’t the year where I was. Even if only for a moment, I had travelled back in time! After this, could it happen again?

  One quiet night, I was about to fall asleep when I heard a strange humming noise outside. At first, I thought it was just a car, but the noise is keep increasing, then  suddenly stopped, I was curious, so I stood up to see.   I noticed something unbelievable outside my window. There was something tall, glowing creature with long arms stood in my backyard. Its large, luminous eyes darted are so unconfortably. It appeared to be lost and afraid, but not dangerous. I slowly stepped outside and saw the alien tremble and pulling its hands to its chest in obvious tremble. I carefully raised my hands to show that I wasn’t any threat. The Alien then tilted its head and made some melodic sounds, maybe it was trying to figure me out?   We are trying to communicate by making noise, shapes on the dirt and also gestures. It was discovered that it was stuck on Earth as its spaceship went wrong. Before we could make a plan, a bright headlights flashed across the yard. I heard voic...

"The Secret Door in My School Leads to..."

Have you ever had the feeling that something wasn’t quite right as you are walking around your school? I experienced just that last week. It all began when I chose to take a shortcut through an historic corridor that no one really used anymore as I was rushing late to class. At that moment, I noticed a tiny wooden door hidden behind a dusty bookshelf. I had never noticed it before, something about the door made me feel excitement.   With my curiosity, I pushed the door open and stepped inside. Suddenly, I had left my school. I was standing in a huge underground library with many books that were softly glowing in the dim light. The air smelled like old paper and mystery. I feel very unfamiliar with this place, and it gives me an eerie feeling. I walked forward; my footsteps are echoing the whole area.   Then, I heard a voice. “You shouldn’t be here”   I spun around and saw a hooded man staring at me. My heart was pounded.   The man said, “This is the L...
