Time to go where? Back to the future, of course!

I ran to the barn, making sure nobody saw me. I fumbled with the lock, hoping against hope that it still worked.

Once the lock clicked open I shoved myself against the door, prying it open. Cobwebs and dust cover my clothes as I hurdle myself towards the chest near the back wall. My hands claw at the handles, thrusting open the lid.

I grabbed the backpack, stuck the bomb inside, and texted Hezra:

My fingers fly frantically over the screen as I desperately send the S.O.S text. What if he didn't get my message? Was there even reception here? Before I could hit send, a noise from behind me stopped my fingers cold.

Buuuut it was just a mouse so I continued with my frantic….whatever it was that I was doing previously.

I send the text and finally stop to examine my surroundings. I'm in a barn, and I'm covered in cobwebs from head to toe

Where all the cobwebs came from, I'm not sure. Maybe a small army of spiders resides in this barn, because really, I have a lot of cobwebs all over me.

Suddenly a ring went off from my phone. I swiped quickly, reading the text from Hezra. His voice echoed throughout my mind as I read the message.

"We have received your request. Activate the time traveling device in one minute. See you in headquarters soon, be safe."

I became very confused—time travelling device? I had a bomb in my backpack, not a time travelling device!

I throw the backpack onto the ground and dig through the contents frantically. It wasn't long before someone would show up. Pulling out the bomb, I turn it over in my hands for any sign of other devices. Aha. A small curtain of a door on the material of the bomb gives way to a shiny panel.

It's a security panel. I stare at it in horror. Slowly, my fingers creep up to the numbers…

and then BOOM! Everything around me becomes nothing.

My ears rang from the explosion, and I was bruised all over my body. I slowly staggered onto my feet, but realized I wasn't in the barn, or anywhere near it, anymore.

Dinosaurs roamed the fields nonchalantly, paying me no mind. I huffed in irritation—and after my dramatic entrance, too!

The valley stretched for what seemed like miles, so far that it looked as though it cut off at the horizon. Bloated-bodied and strange-headed creatures roamed brushes of vegetation. Long-necked and slender-legged reptilians watered themselves in a nearby pond. I dared not creep near them. I knew what they were, and they shouldn't have been there.

I could feel how exhausted I was, how hungry I was. I also really had to go to the bathroom. This was not a very good start to… whatever this had turned out to be.

And even worse, people kept adding more than two sentences to my strange story! Honestly, I'd rather sidle up to those long-necked slender-legged reptilians than…than…wow, I was so tired….quite abruptly I passed out on the ground.

Time was a frayed line, with too many possibilities. The endings torn and torn again. I had passed out, but upon being unconscious, I awoke.

"Huh," I said, and took a bite of the large pineapple I was conveniently holding. "Ow," I said, glaring at the pineapple accusingly—it wasn't skinned or anything, and that had really hurt!

I threw the pineapple to the ground and climbed up the tree to my right.

I climbed back down, stomped on the pineapple, and then climbed back up. That pineapple deserved it.

From my view, the skies are grey and I feel like it's about to rain.

"Hello, dear, did you sleep well?" I hear a voice sooth my mental pain.

SURPRISE my grandma was in the tree with me. I squinted at her suspiciously, "grandma, what are you doing in my tree?"

"Nothing that is of any concern to you, my dear," she replied. "But you better hurry if you don't want to be late to Betsy's Quinceañera!"

"Abuela, ¿cómo supiste sobre Bettys?" Pregunto, cada vez más confundido.

"Solo sé mi pequeño grano de arroz". Ella dice, sonriendo para sí misma y luego pasándome un trozo de piña.
