Tales of Juniper Davidson: The Sword of Biremes

Chapter 7

I think I really am insane.

You know how most mentally same people would probably burn the box if they saw it was a way to go to another world?

I didn't. Instead, I packed various survival items like sandwiches, bars, and water, into my backpack and sling it over my shoulder.

Hey, don't look at me like that! You know why most people die when they enter another world?
They. Weren't. Prepared.

I will not let that happen to me.

            Looking down at my Converse clad feet, I willed myself to not jump out of impulse.

             I counted down from three mentally, fingering the hilt in my pocket.

Three. Two. One. Jump!

             I sprung my legs forward and jumped, completely missing then box and landing on the carpet.

            "Nice. Bravo! Wonderful job!!" I sarcastically thought to myself. I could feel my cheeks burning in embarrassment.

             Okay, so no jumping.

             I stood at the edge of the box, a piece of it slightly banging on my bare calf. Using my arms to steady myself, I put a foot inside, said foot disappearing as it passed the bottom of the box. With one leg inside the other world completely, I was in quite an uncomfortable position. My other leg was still outside of the box in plain view.

            I grasped the side of the box with both hands, and pulled my other leg inside. With both legs now gone, I once again counted down from three.

            Three. Two. One. Let go!!

            I hastily let go, and willed myself not to scream as I felt myself falling.
