Silence echoed louder than any noise ever could. In the darkness of the night, the ringing in my ears seemed to engulf the world. Reaching blindly in front of me, barely making out the outline of the rock in front. My feet ached as more and more leaves were getting crunched under my shoes. How long had I been walking? How much more would I need to walk?
Fear inside of me began to build up as I looked up at the sky. Just a few moments ago, the sky was filled with hues of oranges and pink, but now all the colours had faded leaving behind a black canvas with no stars. Maybe I shouldn't have left the school building. Maybe the constant flickering of the lights with someone's repetitive voice saying "Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock" was normal. As time kept passing by, I began to think if I should have gone home, instead of looking for my friend. I began thinking if I was trapped and wouldn't be able to get out. The darkness was making it even more difficult to see, as I couldn't even see where I was stepping.
I searched through my bag to find my phone to use as a torch but I was surprised to see it out of charge. The only sound I could hear was my rapid breath, as I found a rock to sit on. I kept telling myself that if I made it to dawn, all of these unknown creatures that kept visiting my body would disappear and I would be able to go home. The only problem was that I had no clue what time it was and I was in the middle of a cave where everything was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.
Before I knew it, I was asleep on the rock and when I woke up it was still dark but my mind told me that it was already dawn. I stood up with much more energy and walked towards the possible exit. I tried to remember where I came from and walked in that direction. I suddenly found an exit to the cave and I hurriedly walked outside.
As I came outside, I was shocked to see a different place! With a lot of confusion, I looked around and saw a billboard which said "Happy New Year 1936". As far as I remember the year was 1953, so does that mean I time travelled!?!
