[Uncle Sam's Story]

Being the gatekeeper and having this tiny Lwanda means that I have a great responsibility over others and it also means almost instantaneous means of travel from one dimension to another and one realm to another.

Even though our recent adventures have shown me that there are others who can travel similarly or even faster, for example, the Te people, the Watchers, Over-watch and even the Lamb who seems to be a God or the Son of one.

The only problem that I have now is that I remember all the adventures that I have ever had and I remember how in each of them I travelled to and from the various planets, dimensions and realms for I possess the secret words of the gatekeeper that activates the key - the tiny Lwanda but I don't remember how we got back and that is very weird.

This time I did not use the tiny Lwanda and neither did I see the Watchers or Over-watch or even the Lamb send us to this place.

All I can remember whenever I think of it, is that at some point, I was escorting the children home and after taking them home I took a cab to my place and that was it.

How did I get here? How did I get back to the Earth?

So I went to the cabinet where I kept the tiny Lwanda safely, took it out and uttered the words to the key - I really wanted to travel to the plane where I had met Over-watch before - but nothing happened!

Maybe I spoke the words wrongly so I tried speaking the words once more and still, nothing happened!

What was going on? How come the tiny Lwanda was no longer working? For I was one hundred percent sure that I spoke the words right - as I had been told by the former gatekeeper I would never forget the words.

So, what was going on?

I decided to sleep on it and in the morning I would figure out what was wrong.

When I woke up in the morning I ate my delicious breakfast and went to watch something on the telly - this I did so that; it being a Saturday, I knew my nephew and niece would not go to school, so all I had to do was wait for them to wake up and then I would give them a call.

The kids were very excited to hear from me and when I asked them whether they remembered how we had gotten back to this Earth they told me they did not.

Not only did my nephew and niece tell me they did not remember how they got back but also that they felt something was a bit off!

I quickly went back to the cabinet and took out the tiny Lwanda and once again, slowly and carefully said the words that would make me travel, but once again nothing happened.

This was the confirmation that I was looking for, I now knew that this was not Earth and once again we were all stuck in another reality brought about by something or someone else.

Suddenly a voice boomed near me, "You should not have done that, I know you will soon wake up and when it does happen, be prepared for the horror!"

"Who are you and what do you want with us?" I asked.

"As I have said, you are about to wake up and you will soon find out," the voice once again boomed.

I called my nephew and niece and when they picked the phone I only told them this, "We are stuck in another dream like reality and we need to wake up!"
