As soon as I approached the wall, one of my classmates said come, follow me. Since I couldn't see anyone else in sight, I followed him. I hope everyone is still around here and alive. When I looked up, I saw the tour guide waving to me and faintly saying, “Hey, you okay back there?” “We’re ok, did you see where the others went?” “They fell right of you, so that means your left? “Yes, also, did you see any of them?” “Nope.” said the tour guide. Then he walked away saying that he’ll contact the police. What an incident. I don’t even know if my classmates are alive. I looked at my watch, it was 3:00 pm, and I should be at home, safe and sound, but instead, life took me for a spin and almost killed me. The night was approaching, crickets were chirping, and the coyotes were howling. The thing is that I’m scared of wild creatures. They are just terrifying. Since me and my classmate were there, we could fight or scare a coyote, but a whole pack? We are nothing to a whole pack of coyotes. It became 12:00 am, and there were no rescuers yet. Suddenly, I heard some howling pretty close to me. Suddenly, I saw a black nose peeking out of the darkness, then I heard some growling, then I saw the glowing eyes of a wolf, and behind it was the biggest pack you’d ever seen. Me and my classmate immediately ran, and soon we both got separated. The whole wolf pack was following me, then, a wolf tore off a piece of my shirt. Suddenly, I heard purring, and a long tail. The fur was golden brown. And it chased the wolf pack. One by one, the mysterious animal killed the wolves. Until there were only 10 wolves left. I got cornered and when the wolves started to approach me, I heard a roar that struck fear in the wolves' eyes. And before I knew it, the wolves were face to face with the mighty mountain lion. The mountain lion was so big that it could scare 100 wolves! Then the mountain lion started fighting the wolves. I took this as my chance to run, so I ran and escaped. As soon as I thought I escaped, I was wrong. I saw the devastating eyes of the mountain lion. I ran like a cheetah this time, but still, the mountain lion caught up to me. While I was running, I ran into the cave I went into earlier. I quickly decided to go into the cave for some reason. As soon as I saw the semi-transparent wall I ran through it, and then I saw this huge bright white wall and then it started to fade and then I saw myself falling down to the ground from the sky! I braced for death, but I guess it was just luck this time, because I landed on a trampoline! My question was, what was the semi-transparent wall, but I guess I asked the wrong question. The bigger question was where I’m I? I remembered, there are two universes, so maybe I’m in the alternate universe. But the thing is that if I came from the normal universe, I must’ve been in this! Since it’s night in the normal universe, I’m probably doing something in this universe! So, basically, I need to find myself in this universe, but where was I last time?

Since I’m in this universe, I might as well try to find my unofficial twin. This was just like finding my friend in this universe though. I tried to remember where I left off in this universe, then it came to me, I rented a hotel and slept there, but what was the name of the hotel? I tried and tried to remember, but I couldn’t, just couldn’t remember. I walked along the streets of the city, with no hope of finding myself. Suddenly, I remembered that the ocean’s water level is going up in this universe and the ocean is going to cover land again. So, if I don't get out of here, I’m gonna die. In an instant, I remembered that the semi-transparent wall was in the Grand Canyon, and maybe if I went to the same spot in this universe it might be there and I could get out of here alive. If I’m correct, the portal should be open for everyone, and they could get out of here alive too. First I needed a cab all the way to the Grand Canyon. I hope someone is nice enough to drive to the Grand Canyon and get no money. I tried asking lots of people, but I got the same answer, DECLINED. I tried to remember anyone I know that can drive, but I guess I’m just unlucky this time. I decided to get a car and drive it myself, yes myself. I walked for a long time to go to a scrap yard to test my luck and see if there was a car that works and moves. What are the odds of a perfectly good car that works in a scrapyard? When I went there, I saw this half-broken sign that said: “Welcome To John’s Scrapyard!” I really didn’t like this place for 2 main reasons, number 1, this area looked like a crime area. Number 2, it looked like the scrapyard had nothing in it. I saw this person walking towards me and he said “Howdy! How are you doing?” I replied “Good.” Then he said, “Whatcha doing here?” “I’m here for a car, if you have one.” “Oh, I got lots of cars! Wanna check out some of ‘em?” “Oh yeah, sure!” He told me to follow him so I went and followed him. Turns out he has a huge garage where he had everything! Even planes! Then he said, “I used to be the prime guy back in the ’90s. Then a new guy came in and ruined my business and stole all my customers. And in his scrapyard, he had nothing compared to mine. I guess it's just destiny.” “That's pretty sad.” I replied back. “Anyways, let's go get your car!” he said. When I followed him to the car, I didn’t see any car, I saw one hotrod classic! I was surprised that he had a car like this! “Now to see if it still works.” The car stuttered. “Ahh same old same old. It needs fuel. Can you go get it for me?” “Okay, but where is it though?” “Down the street.” “Ok, I’ll go get it.” I walked down the garage to the main entrance. When I came out of the entrance, I saw a group of people. When they started to walk towards me like they're gonna kill me, I started to back out. Then I said, “Uhhh, what's going on? Ummm, how are y-you doing, a-are you f-fine?” Then suddenly I heard some footsteps behind me, when I looked behind me, I got whacked in the face with a baseball bat and I got unconscious. I woke up with a sack on my face and I could barely breathe. I saw someone say, “What should we do to this guy boss? Do we kill him or what?” Then I heard this reply, “Kill his other version.” “But why boss?” “Because that kid caused a lot of problems.” he said. “O-Ok boss.” I got worried very quickly. At least I wasn’t gonna die. Suddenly, something struck me. If my other version dies in this universe, I will probably die too. One thing was for sure, I’m not gonna stick around to test it! I saw someone approach me with a bat. Then he said, “Tell me. TELL ME WHERE HE IS!!!!” “W-Who?” “Your other version.” “Hey, I don’t know where he is, I'm telling the truth.” “You're gonna d-die.” In an instant, I saw a person knock- out the person who was talking to me. Then he said, “C’mon, let's get out of here.” “Who are you?” I asked eagerly. “John. From John’s Scrapyard.” he replied. “Hey, it's you!” “Yes, yes it's me.” “How did you get here?” “I know these bullies. They’re paranoid or something. Let’s get out of here first.” When we walked to the scrapyard, he said that his car was filled with fuel and ready to go. I got into the classical car, I started the roaring engine of one of mankind’s greatest machines. The wheels started to roll, and before I knew it, I was on the road!

When I started to go to the grand canyon, I realized that I didn’t know how to drive. But hey, I guess I have a special talent. After a while of driving, I realized that I wasn't driving at all, the computer was. I realized that I was a kid, so it drove by itself. I also realized I didn't set the destination to the Grand Canyon, so I was heading nowhere! When I set the destination, the computer said it was 3,000 miles away. I'm pretty sure back at John's Scrapyard, the distance was 2,850. So I just gained another 150 miles. After I set the location, the computer said, “This trip will take more than one day. Would you like to stop at a hotel or something?” “Sure.” I said. The wheels of the car started to move again, and I moved into my relaxing position. Suddenly, the computer yelled out, “Hey, please do not sleep. If I need your assistance you won't be available and it can lead to an accident.” “ Oh. Sorry for that.” I guess I'm stuck for the rest of the trip. 3 hours later, the car stopped at this weird motel. Then the computer said, here we are, to your stop. The screen still displayed 2,700 miles. THIS THING IS SO LOOOOONG!!! I came into my room, and it turns out the motel was pet friendly. I could tell by the claw marks at the walls, and ripped leather. All I ever needed to do was to go into the bed and sleep. Even THAT didn't go well. This motel is so stupid. It didn't even have a bed. I chose to sleep on the couch for the rest of the night. The next day, I got out of my room and I saw someone familiar. Someone I knew. My brain tried to remember the person but it couldn't. I started the car and continued my journey. While I was relaxing, I saw some bullies. They were laughing at me for some reason. And then they said, LOSER LOSER, YOUR TOO CHICKEN TO RACE MEEEEE My brain was saying “don't you dare,” but I guess I don't listen to my mind. My mind thought this was a disastrous idea. I thought it was a fabulous idea. And I was gonna show those bullies the definition of speed. I said to my computer, TOP SPEED RIGHT NOW! Then it replied OH YES. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE RACED. Then I said to the bullies, PREPARE FOR AN AWESOME RACE. During the race, I think I accelerated too much. When I was racing, the computer said, ABORT CAR, ABORT THE CAR NOW!!! Suddenly, the car crashed at a railing and flew off into a rocky desert taking me with it. The computer said, HERE, TAKE THIS PARACHUTE AND JUMP OUT OF THE CAR!!!!!!! I took the parachute and jumped out like the computer said but turns out there was a hole in it! I knew I was gonna die and when I landed, I landed in water! Although the water hit me like concrete, I survived. I can't remember how many times I stared at death and actually survived! The sad thing was that the computer that accompanied me is now dead. DEAD. He was an awesome computer. I was honored to have a computer like that. OK. I'm not that dumb. I was just joking. Why would anyone ever in this whole wide universe, describe a computer like a human? I don't know, but it's not me. Now, back to the mission. How am I gonna go all the way to the Grand Canyon without my computer friend and a proper actual road? Suddenly, the ground shook like an earthquake. It was so rumbly I could barely stand. After that, I heard the sound arrr. And that peculiar sound could mean one thing. A HERD OF BUFFALOS!!! I looked behind me. And turns out there was a huge herd coming towards me to crush me! I didn't take this as a danger. I took it as an opportunity. Just imagine, if I could get on one of the buffalo and they were heading to the Grand Canyon, I could have my work cut out for me. That's my razor-sharp smartness working. I decided to lure one of the buffalo with some plants so I could get on them. Turns out the whole herd stopped to take a break from that non-stop running. I saw this little guy but not too little grazing on some tiny plants. I took baby steps as I approached the buffalo. After I came close, I hopped on him and he didn't even notice! Now that was done, I had to figure out where these guys were going based on my razor-sharp knowledge. This area looked very dry and had very little water. So maybe they're going to the Grand Canyon for the Colorado River. But I wasn't sure. I hope they're going there. If they are, all I have to do is relax. Actually, riding a buffalo is pretty fun. The weird thing is that the buffalo saw me, but they weren't doing anything to me. Plus, the buffalo I was riding was so cute! I think he was a calf but a bit bigger. It slowly became night, and the coyotes started to howl. It spooked me. If I lose this guy, I might as well fail in saving this universe. Soon I saw some yellow eyes behind me. There were a lot of them. I couldn't see the body of whatever it was, suddenly, I heard yipping. And when I hear yipping I think about coyotes! In an instant, the leader buffalo did some kinda roar and ran, and the rest of the buffalo and cows followed him, including mine. I thought the coyotes couldn't get us now, but I think I celebrated a bit too early because my buffalo was slow at running, and with me as the added weight, it's a snail! I was scared that the coyotes would kill the bison calf and then kill me! I wanted to take action on this because I can’t stop my mission of saving the world from being destroyed by coyotes! Suddenly, I figured out what to do. I lowered my hand down to the ground and started collecting sand as the bison ran. Once my hand got full of sand I threw the dusty sand towards the coyotes buying me and my bison some time to escape. Turns out that the coyotes decided to stop chasing the bison and me. As me and the bison ran further and further, the coyotes vanished in the distance. Since the bison saved my life and saved his, I decided to name him Savior. In short, Sav. The next day, Sav and I saw a small canyon from the distance. Suddenly, Sav started jumping and shouting in joy. I guess he really needed the water.
