What a day I had. I feel like one of those surplus people in Korea as I was staring at the computer applying for jobs. I've recently graduated, you see, and I've been desperately looking for a job to pay off my loans. My name is... well it doesn't really matter what my name is, you can call me T! T is my nick name! I think someone may have given it to me down the line, but it's been years and I honestly don't remember.

           Feeling as if I was not getting anywhere with my job search, I sighed while closing my computer screen and headed towards the couch for a much needed break. Grabbing some coffee from my Nespresso Machine, I sat down with my dogs and turned on Netflix to continue watching Magi. I was still on season 1, but so far my favorite characters have been Aladdin, Morg, Alibaba, Ja'far, Masrur, and Sinbad. I wish I was living in that time, there was so much adventure and good people to hang out with. All this world had to offer were conniving fools who belittled others to stay on top. I wonder if my wish to be part of the Magi world will ever come true, but alas that was a fictional world and this was the real one...

            As I was watching the show, I heard a strange rumbling sound coming from my back yard. In panic and curiosity, I paused the show and moved the blinds from my window to see what was going on. To my surprise I saw the trees in my yard swaying back and forth as if there was a hurricane. Rain and hail was falling and I saw a lightning strike. That was so strange, there was never weather this ferocious in California. Just what was going on? Just then,  remembered my birds were still outside so I quickly rushed outside to bring them in and cover the cages of the ones I could not bring in.

As I was busy trying to take the cage inside I heard another rumbling from the sky followed by a flash of blinding light... .

            I felt something poking my right shoulder. What could it be? "Hey, are you okay?" huh? What was that?

            I slowly opened my eyes and saw a purple haired boy with tan skin and golden eyes. He kind of looked familiar. He stared at me intently and smiled, "I thought you died! What are you doing sleeping there? My name is Sinbad by the way." Sinbad? Why did that sound familiar?

            He offered me his hand, and I took it. But I quickly let go when I saw my own hand. It was smaller than before, it looked like a baby's hard. Come to think of it, I felt smaller than before. Just what was going on? I looked back at Sinbad and noticed he was standing in front of a well. Nearby was a bucket of water.  I quickly ran towards it and tried to carry the bucket, but to my surprise it was much heavier than what I had expected. I tried to tiptoe up to see my reflection, but why was the bucket so big compared to me. I was never really someone that was considered tall, but no way in hell was I this short.

Seeing as I was trying to look into the bucket, the young boy who had introduced himself as Sinbad lifted me up. I gasped in surprise when I saw my reflection. Why did I look no older than 3?! Just what was I going on?

            Just then I saw flashes of my memory before I awoke as a three year old. I was caught in that storm and then there was a blinding light. Next thing I knew I was laying on the ground as myself when I was 3. "Hey what's wrong?" I looked back to where the boy was. He was staring at me, but for some reason my vision was getting blurry. I tried to stay calm, but the last thing I saw was the boy running towards me.

            I felt something warm on my forehead. I heard voices in the distance too. I slowly opened my eyes to see the same boy from before, but he was with another older woman and man who had the same purple hair as the boy. Seeming to see that I was awake, the older woman rushed towards me, worry plastered on her face. "Who are you?"
