Tini's pov

*It's already seven in the evening and we still haven't seen dad. I decided to go downstairs to check up on him. When I arrived, I saw my dad. He was sweating upon a crumpled paper. Probably the construction plan. I looked at a small table where he had his lunch. He has not eaten a bit. I stood next to him and tapped on his shoulder*

T: Dad, you've been here since morning. You need to rest.

Td: No Tini. I swear that this thing will work. And I can't fail.

T: But health is more important.

Td: No, look, if this thing won't work, I will stop and live normally again, okay? That's what you want, don't you?

T: But-

Td: No. I need one last thing. I'm going to the centre. I'll be back in no more than 30 minutes.

T: Okay...

*Dad left and Fran came instead.*

F: Is that thing done?

T: It looks like it's nearly done.

*We looked at the giant ring connected with a lots of cabels and blinking things. A red box caught my attention. I took it and showed it to my brother.*

F: It has a display.

*He pressed the green button and it lightened up*

T: And... numbers?

*I pressed some random numbers and noticed that the giant ring started to shine. Shocked, we moved away*

F: What's that?

T: I don't know but it's starting to beep noisily!

F: Let's get out of here before something happenes!

*Fran took my hand and wanted to get us out but the wind coming from the ring was too intense*

T: Let my hand go!

F: Are you crazy? That thing will drag you in!

T: If you don't let me go it will drag both of us!

*I slapped Fran's hand so he let me go and the ring dragged me in. As if I was sucked in by a vacuum cleaner... I tried to put all my strength in my feet to get away but my body wasn't listening. The last thing I heard was my brother screaming my name*
