I went to town with my mother last evening and I meet an outsider there. I doubtfully looked at him. because I thought, I knew him and I tried to remember but I couldn't.

We were at the bus stop. I tried to recall him again and again the bus arrived. unfortunately, I had to get on the bus. I got on the bus and looked outside. but he was not there. I felt very sad. After a few minutes, I saw him on the bus. I looked at him again to recall. suddenly, he looked at me, I felt guilty. so I looked away immediately.

my mind filled with a lot of questions. I look at him slowly. because I wanted to know who he was. Suddenly, my attention was on his costumes. It was an old stylish costume.
I look at his costumes again. I thought I saw that style before. then, I started to recall that style.
after a few minutes, I remember something. I took my bag and opened it. I searched for my new storybook which I received from my friend.

The story is about time travel. I found it. so, I got it and turned the pages. "yes, I found it." I said to myself. I found one of the pictures in that book. there was a boy with a time-traveling machine. that boy in the picture seems like that person. I looked at him slowly and then at the picture. both of them looked the same." oh! my God". I shouted. "why?" my mother asked." ah, nothing" I replied. I felt nervous.

I turned back to resolve the mystery again. "if he came from the past, the time-traveling going to be a true thing !" I thought. That thought had blown like a storm in my mind so fast. I look at him. he looks at me too with a doubtful smile. Suddenly, I felt, the bus was floating. I looked out of the window.

That was true. we floated into the big black hole. I shouted. but my sound didn't come out. I looked at the person. but he was not there. I look out the window again. the bus didn't float. I felt nervous. however, I was sure, that wasn't a dream.
