STORY STARTER
Submitted by Ryan
You accidentally stumbled through a wormhole that led you to another dimension... but you didn't even realise until things started getting very strange.
Begin this sci-fi story in a world that seems familiar, but gradually becomes less and less normal.
Another Dimension, Another School
I woke up, dazed and breaking down in sweats. I dreamed that I was falling through a tunnel and it was taking me to the middle of nowhere. Good thing it was just a dream, I sighed a breath of relief. I got up from my bed and checked my phone. It was Friday, there is just one more day of school until I am free, I can do this! I thought to myself. I did my morning routine of washing my face and brushing my teeth to eating breakfast. Everything was going smoothly and within an hour, I am outside of my school.
“What the heck?!” I shouted. I can not believe what happened to my school. It seems familiar and strange to me at the same time. The school was vertical and skinny looking and had a big sign saying 164 on the front. I cautiously and slowly walked to the school. I went in and to my shock, the inside was huge and there were overlapping staircases and a number of floors. I tried to find my classroom in this maze like place but to no avail. I decided to go ask the principal for directions. I ran to the principal’s office and knocked on the door. The principal told me to come in and I immediately asked him if he knew where my classroom was. He smiled and said, “you just be new.” I paused and refuted, “No I am not, the school seems different.” The principal smiled and said, “it has always been like this.” I felt so confused but I didn’t question further. The principal introduced a girl to me and told me that she will show me where my classroom was. He said that each building was a different classroom and each building has 9 floors. This was completely new information to me, I was beyond shocked. The girl lead me outside of the school and we got into her car. She said she will drive me to my classroom.
I got into her car and noticed that it was a race car which seemed so weird to me. We drove along a road with many buildings, all of them were identical except for the big sign, some read 150, some were 122 or 134. These must be the different classrooms, I thought. We kept on driving until we reached a building called 190, I was very excited, I finally found my class! I called to the girl that that was my class, I was desperate to get out of the car, I was already 20 minutes late to class. The girl laughed and said, “Wait for a minute, I need to get a drink, I am so thirsty.” She then put her hand back on the handle and started the engine and started driving again. I was shocked, I can’t believe she didn’t let me get out. I was also angry that she only cared about herself. She got her drink but then she said she also needed to go to the library. I had enough! I jumped out of the car and made my way to my classroom….
