I was just, no, where was i again?
I was going to school wasn't i?
Why am i here?
This isn't where i was prior to closing mye eyes.
Im in a forest?
No im not, im on my way to school?
This isn't right.
Why am i here?
How am i here?
My head is spinning.
"Let's just get some rest" i said to myself.
I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Suddenly a branch landed beside me, waking me up abruptly.
I thought to myself, was it maybe a bird that caused this?
I looked up, curious to what was gonna appear.
A dark figure loomed above me in the tree, that thing was not a bird, this was something i had never seen before this moment.
I stood up as a surge of adrenalin rushed through my body, that thing was after me. I could tell by that bloodlust in the air, i didn't doubt for a second. i needed to get away, and fast if i wanted to go on living.
As the creature screeched i started running, i didn't need to do anything else but get away. That thing would be the end of me i thought to myself as i ran past tree after tree. I didn't know where i was going, and it didn't matter as of this moment.
As i ran and ran my feet got heavy and i could barely keep running. I had never felt such fatigue in my whole fifteen years of life. Miraculously i had lost the creature, i felt a bit confused though. The creature had four legs and looked like it could outrun me quite quickly. As i was deep in thought something occurred to me, i had forgotten something. There was something i had lost, it didn't feel quite right. My feet felt heavy but my back felt light. This wasn't how it was supossed to be. There was something missing that used to be on my back. Then i remembered. My backpack, it was gone. It wasn't on the ground beside me. Infact i couldn't see it at all. It was gone, I had lost it. It was a pity really, i'd need to tell my mom to get me a new backpack. But this wasn't home. For fuck's sake i didn't even know where i was. And i realized that thing couldn't have been from my home. It didn't exist back home. Home was safe, that creature was anything but safety.
Could this be South America, i pondered.
No, there aren't these types of woods in South America. And that thing is definitely not from South America either.
North America maybe?
The woods look kinda like they're in North America but this blistering heat doesn't match the climate.
Europe then?
The forest does match some scandinavian forests i've seen online but again the heat doesn't match.
I took a closer look at the tree and realized my mistake. A huge mistake. Theese trees didn't look like anything i've ever seen before. Theese trees, are multiple meters wide!
I looked at another tree, it was even wider. I took a look around me. This can't be earth, this is something entirely different.
Another planet?
Another World?
"How can this be?" i asked myself in a low voice.
I stumbled to the nearest tree.
This can't be right?
This can't be.
I could feel the stress and anxiety rising in me.
How was i here?
In another world?
As i asked myself theese questions i began to shiver.
I tried to calm myself, but i couldn't. I was scared, scared to my very core. Nobody had experienced this before, well atleast according to my knowledge as of right now.
After a little while of panting and shivering my survival instinct kicked in. It was beginning to get dark, and i needed shelter. Sure it was pretty hot as of right now, but what will the night be like?
Once again i stood up. I was gonna move, i needed to move. Even if i just wanted to cry and go home to my mom, i needed to move forward.
One foot at a time i began walking.
Walking where?
I didn't know.
I looked around as i walked. However, i didn't pick up my surroundings. They didn't register, i just kinda looked around because that was what i always did when walking. It was kinda nice though, walkng through a quiet forest while the light faded away slowly.
I walked, and i walked. It had become dark now. The moonlight was weak, but i managed to not walk right into a tree atleast.
I took another step. This one however, this one was different. I had been walking on dirt, the dirt was kinda squishy and had a distinct feel to walking on it. This was not dirt, it felt familiar in some way. I had walked on this surface before. I took a step back, crouched down and looked at it. This was concrete, not only that it was reinforced concrete. The concrete had cracks in it and looked like it had been there for a long time but it was still concrete.
I looked forward, i could see outlines of what looked to be ripped up old reinforced concrete.
I walked forward, as i wandered further i passed more and more rubble. Mostly old metal and concrete. But this didn't look like rubble created by something like a wrecking ball or an excavator. This looked alot like the effect of a bomb, a big bomb.
I moved onward, this was intresting.
Were there people in this world?
Were they as advanced as us?
Or possibly even more advanced.
As i looked around, still walking forward without a care in the world. i walked right into something. When i collided it made a sound, the sound you'd hear from a big heavy metal door. The sound echoed in my head as i fell backwards and landed on my butt, or so i thought. The echoing actually came from behind the door.
There was a room behind the door.
