During the 1960's,the Philippines was a very simple country but a joyous one. The roads are way more space-free than today,no thefts unlike in today's time,no rapists that just grab you by your arm while walking in the road today,and clean streets. What else could the Filipinos want? People lived peacefully and are contented with their country's state but 18 years old Tiffany Cruz doesn't feel the same way as the other residents. 

She hated how there would be curfews,she hated her parents for being too strict,she hated how she can never sneak out because of the security guards kept on checking every street for every hour. 

And so,one night,she mumbled;

'Paano kaya ang buhay 3000? Masaya kaya? O nakakabagot din katulad ngayon? Hay... Sana magkaroon ako ng tsansa para malaman 'yon.'

Fluttering her eyes open,she let her eyes roam around her bedroom-

Wait... 

She blinked. Only to see that she is not dreaming. She is not on her bedroom. She is somewhere unfamiliar to her. 

Her scream filled the bedroom,as she called for her parents. 

'Mama! Papa! Waaah! Nasaan ako?' 

She threw the duvets that covered her body and headed downstairs. Only to see unfamiliar and modern furnitures filled the house. Not even a single person is in the same place. She was about to think that she is in a ghost town when she heard a knock and a voice from the door. 

'Hoy,Aleixcha! Nakakarindi 'yang sigaw mo! Ano ba problema?!'

She didn't respond. And so,the knocks increased and became louder. 

'Buksan mo nga 'yung pinto!'
