Away From Me

2

I opened my eyes one morning, and I was in a large classroom with strange people, faces I have never seen before. I was a stranger to them too. A strange teacher was giving a long speech.
"There is no such thing as history" Said the teacher, a strange man in a black suit and a black hat.
The smell of a conspiracy was filling the air, fear was crushing my heart in my chest. The smell suggested to my senses that something terrible is is about to happen, none of the strange people in the room spoke a word of it, yet we all knew, everyone of us knew that danger is hanging in the air. I tried to calm myself down, instead of thinking of the presence of evil, I listened to the teacher.
"History is a lie !" He screamed with such emotions that surprised us all. "Written by the hands of those who want to disfigure our present. Never believe a historian; a historian can't possibly know what he is talking about when all his references are dictated by the kings of the time. History is a four dimensional world, and all we have of it is a one flat dimension laid out in paper." "Then history must be a mystery !" I said in a low voice to myself. I looked to my side and I noticed that a boy with a Harry Potter pair of glasses was staring at me.
"I tell you what, my friend" I spoke to Harry Potter "if you define history like that in an exam, I bet that you will get a pair of new glasses, that's a double zero. "
Lectures are such a waste of time and patience; one can always do much better on one's own self, reading a one dimensional book dictated by God knows whom, instead of listening to three dimensional people. "You were saying Miss?" Apparently, the teacher was addressing me. " I was telling my friend here," I said " that the idea of present only is seductive, but it can't possibly be. We cannot deny the existence of history as long as time exists."
"Time," Said the teacher. "Time exists within the boundaries of space, if space is an illusion, time is an illusion too"
"This is a wonderful teacher !" I said to myself. It would be wonderful if all teachers were like him. And I changed my mind about lectures immediately. My mind strayed away in about five minutes, and I no longer knew what the teacher was talking about now. Suddenly, I felt the danger getting closer, everybody in the room felt it too, it was getting more close. My heart began to beat so fast; in my head I heard a disturbing noise; it was pulling on my nerves and straining them to the extreme limits. My skin went crawling. Something very strange was present in the room; we all knew of it; we could feel it in each and every molecule of our bodies. It sent the signals of an explosion, the place was going to be on fire. There were only two available choices : either to stay, get burned, and die, or to run for my life. I stood up to my feet, and like lightening, I was no longer there. I ran with the speed of light; one moment I was in the classroom; the other moment the whole university campus was behind me.
For a second I had a strong urge to go back, because I remembered that I left my phone and my backpack on the table. I knew that if I go back I'll burn to death, and I did not want to die, so I ran on.
