"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 Library of Lost Knowledge, only those who are chosen can enter”

 

Selected? Me? The man handed me a book with a ragged cover before I could ask anything. “Your task is inside” he said.

 

After a moment of hesitation, I opened the book. At the first, the pages were blank, but then I saw the words: Find the missing keys and reveal the truth, chosen guy.

 

Is this a mission for me? This was getting crazy. I should rush to my class right now, but I was unable to go back. Then, I searched the library, looked below desks and took books off the shelf as I searched the library. At last, I found a tiny, golden key hidden inside a book that had been hollowed out. When I touch it, the ground suddenly trembled and the hooded man appeared.

 

“You have found the key” he said. “Will you keep this place a secret, or will you reveal Library of Lost Knowledge to the world?”

 

I considered it. I could improve human’s lives if I reveal all this lost knowledge. However, there are some knowledge that is harmful and may cause the world became dangerous. In the end, I decided to keep it a secret. I put the key in my pocket because I know I might return some day.

 

As I stepped back through the door, I found that the school hallway had become empty. The bookshelf had moved back to its original position, totally hiding the door.

 

I was asking myself is it just my imagination? I reached into my pocket and felt the cool metal of the key. A smile spread across my face. “Maybe I am the chosen guy.”

"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 wit...

  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...
