itcouldahappened

i had something a little different, just an idea, if anyone wants to add..


 * It was a cold, dreary night about two years ago. My brother John and I were sitting on the couch, waiting for the newest TV show to air. The wait seemed like centuries as our eyelids grew heavier every second. We had heard about the awaited episode from many people, and we all couldn’t wait to see it. It was said to be about a Scientist who travels back in time, learning about ancient past, and also the surreal future. As the minutes dragged on… we sat in suspense, watching every commercial with impatience to the extreme. Every minute we’d take turns looking at the clock, watching the second hand crucially move about the face of the clock. Finally it was twenty minutes till airing time, which happened to be the longest twenty minutes of my life, not to mention, the most eventful.**
 * In a split second I felt my body spinning through out the room. My mind went blank as everything was spinning around me in an alarming speed. I yelled for my brother but he was no where to be found. I squeezed my eyelids shut, hoping I would soon feel the ground. Sure enough, I felt the feeling of gritty dirt under my feet soon after, and found myself surrounded in an environment superiorly different than my own. As I looked around, I felt eyes looking at me. I turned my head to find a girl about a year older than me, with a small dog, staring at me with a questionable look on her face.**
 * I held everything inside of me back, to keep from screaming in terror, when I then realized what had happened, I had somehow teleported back to the past.. (s.s.)**
 * "Who are you?" asked the strange girl. I was still in shock when I finally heard her question.**
 * "I'm Micky, who are you, and where am I?" I was desperate to know who she was and where I was at the same time.**
 * "Jasmine, and your in my home town of Jade Springs." She still had a confused look on her face and it some what scared me.**
 * "Where did you come from anyway? You just fell out of the sky like rain."**
 * "Last thing I remember I was watching TV."**

"What is 'TV'?" Jasmine asked. "You're kidding, right?" "...Nope. I have no idea." "Television... ring any bells?" "No. The only bell here is in the schoolyard." "What do you have here in Jade Springs besides school? "We have the library, the cafe, the bar, the stores, the houses..." It seemed like she could have went on and on about this stuff. "What do they sell in the stores?" "Quilts, mattresses, tables, chairs, curtains, table cloths, carpet, paint, wood, supplies, paper, ink, pens, groceries, pots, pans, kitchen items, appliences..." Again, it seemed like she would never have a reason to stop. "Any games?" "Yes! Games, clothes, combs, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo..." "What kind of games?" "Board games, puzzles, quizzes, word finds..."** "DVDs? They are like VCRs, only they hold discs." "I mean all of the 'electronics'..." "Oh, they are all just things to keep you busy when you're bored." "But isn't that why they make board games and puzzles and quizzes and word finds?" "Yeah, but sometimes that stuff gets old." "Old? But most of the games and puzzles and word finds are up-to-date." "Speaking of date... what day //is// it?" "Today is... March 16, 1932!" "Whoah! Where am I?" "I told you... Jade Springs. Where are you from, again?" "I'm from California." "California? That sounds so foreign. Maybe like a motel..." "No, not a motel, a state... in America!" "No wonder... This is England! I knew there was a reason you kept looking at me funny when I talked." "Where, here, do you live, Jasmine?" "I live three blocks from here. We're in front of the library. That's how I always know. I am three blocks in front of the library! Do you like to read, Micky?" "I like mystery!" "Those are good, but I like non-fiction best." "What do you learn in school here?" "We learn about religion, history, math, and English. Which is your favorite?" "Lunch!" "We eat lunch after history each day. Come. Let's get to my house before Mother calls for dinner." They walked down the road surrounded by small, round houses that people were sweeping around. They stopped at a yellowish-brown house that looked like some old woman lived there. And she did! Just when they walked toward the door, an old, fragile woman opened it. "Jasmine, deary? Are you hungry?" "Yes, we are, Grandma Keltz." "Good. Dinner is ready. Who is your friend?" "This is Micky. She's from America!"
 * "Electronics?"**
 * "No, never heard of it. Is it a fun game?"**
 * "Well... it's not technically a game. It's anything - Computers, television, video games, radios, VCRs, DVD players..."**
 * "What in the world are you talking about?"

{Monica B.} The fragile woman stared in amazement, and awe. She looked at me with blaring, bright blue eyes. After looking me up and down a few times she smiled a warm smile, and let us in the house. "Welcome child, welcome", she whispered as she walked in the dark and sinister house. Everything was so foreign to me... the peculiar smells, and odd noises.. it just didnt seem right. My head started to hurt a little, but i pushed the thought of it aside, and followed Jasmine and the strange elderly woman down the dark hallway. (s.s)**
