Many years after Jurassic Park failed to be the first and only park in the world that included dinosaurs – animals that went extinct 65 million years ago – now brought to life their new version, a park they call Jurassic World.

Built in the twenty-first century, this park has cutting-edge technology, offering a top-of-the-line experience for those who visited it. Everything was provided to the tourists and guests, delicious foods from many different restaurants, five-star hotels, the ability to see all kinds of revived dinosaur species, and including riding some of the smaller ones – for the children, of course.

Although they had the most famous dinosaur in the whole world – the Tyrannosaurus Rex, king of the tyrant lizards – and the biggest reptile ever to live – the Mosasaur, the river lizard – the patrons and public wanted more. They wanted something bigger, scarier, with more teeth.

Simon Masrani – the owner of Jurassic World –asked for such a dinosaur to be created to attract more audiences. Such a creature has ever walked on the face of the Eart before, but Henry Wu took the proposition and made it happen.

"I hope you are ready for this. I never thought you would handle any supposed to be extinct creatures," I looked up to my brother with an excited smile curved on my face at his comment.

"They are extremely similar in appearance to modern reptiles – the big ones, of course – and are closely related to modern birds as well. So you could say we are living with dinosaurs all along," I retort.

"I know, I know. But those are different. They are bigger, dangerous, more... animalistic," He was trying to make me stay, yet, at the same time encouraging me to go. You see, my brother and I are the bestest of friends, never leaving each other's side. He was there for me as I was there for him. So I understand where his hesitance is coming from.

I work at a zoo, taking care of big reptiles such as alligators and Komodo dragons, as well as big birds like ostriches and cassowaries. I've always been fascinated by these amazing creatures. They are the closest we could get to a dinosaur, but now, we have them. Because of my work, how well I interact with the animals I deal with as if they were close to being as tame as possible, I got invited to work at Jurassic World. To say such an invitation took me by surprise would be a huge understatement.

"Come here, Damon," I open my arms to my older brother. He hugs me tightly as if I was going to disappear if he let go too soon. In which case, I would, but not really, since my flight to Costa Rica was in about half an hour. "I'll call every chance I get. I'll text you everything that happens or if I am allowed to share them with you. I'll take lots and lots of pictures for you," His arms around me tighten at every sentence. "Everything is going to be okay."

"I know. I'm just going to miss you so much, Bella," He said, trying to hold back his tears. I pull away to look into his red, puffy eyes.

"Please don't cry, brother. I don't want to go knowing my other half is sad," My hands cup his face, wiping a lone tear. "I'm going to miss you too," I said, feeling the back of my eyes sting as well. His arms wrapped once again around me, pulling me back to the hug. I'm glad he did because I am going to miss his hugs a lot.

We stayed like that until my flight was called. I stood on my tiptoes and kissed my tall brother on the cheek. He did the same before we gave each other one last hug, for safety measures. I was going to work on the tropical island for a month or two, so I gave everything I got hugging him.

"I love you, sis."

"I love you, bro," And with that, I let him go and went to my gate.

After more than five hours of flight, I land in the tropical country of Costa Rica. It was so very hot, and I still had to go to the island by boat, which was going to take about an hour or more. I think I'm going to die of hyperthermia.
