Kent's Point of View

We stood in front of the city entrance.

The scene looked like Tron. Led lights scattered as soaring buildings welcomed us.

Buildings as main entrances? Seemed unusual.

We entered and walked past many peop-- aliens, I mean. Different kinds. I passed by a kid who was half elephant, half tentacle. Not octopus, HALF TENTACLE. He had a strange color. Green blue with a touch of Orange. It looked at me as if he was fascinated as I am.

I turned away and concentrated on the sidewalk. It really looked like New York. It had resemblances of New York. I felt that I was quite home. I felt Earth here.


But this isn't my world anymore.

"Hey," Eliza suddenly appeared. "You're thinking way too much. Loosen up a little. I know you're confused. We all went through that. But try to accept the situation ok?"

"How many years have you been here?" I asked her.

She turned silent like she was counting. "2, 3 years? I'm not really counting. A girl brought me here. She trained and cared for me. But then she said that I should be independent. So she left me with the probe as a gift. She said she saw someth--"

"Something different about you. A potential. You can adapt any ability and perfect it. But you never believed yourself. That's why she made you independent." I blurted.

Where did that came from?

It flashed so quickly. The memory flashed through me and I saw what she was talking about in a glimpse.

"How did you know about that?" She asked. Her eyes were wide as an arena.

"I don't know. I saw a middle aged woman. Talking to you about your powers. I just said exactly what she said to you a year ago." I answered.

She looked bewildered. She looked up in the sky as if she was recalling the memory.

"I'm sorry." I mumbled, "I knew too much. I should shut my mouth."

She smiled at me and rubbed her eyes. "That's nothing! Forget about it!"

I sighed and continued walking.

Where did it come from?


The idea of getting in here already bothered me, but now I have to things to find answers for. How my Science teacher knew about this world and how did I do what I just did a moment ago.

I followed her path while Fred was talking to her again.

We crossed the road but then I stumbled as Fred stopped in his tracks.

We both stumbled at the middle of the road.

The cars were still running and a truck was driving straight to us.

"DUCK! COVER YOUR EARS!" I yelled.


He did just as what I said and closed his eyes.
