1. The Discovery
I didn’t intend to discover a portal that led me into this crazy world. As I should have mentioned at the beginning, I’m Andrew. I was a kid in Baltimore, and I lived a pretty comfortable life. I had good parents, a good home, and good siblings (okay, maybe that last one was a bit of a stretch). Anyways, I had just visited Utah, and saw the Great Salt Lake. I had a lot of fun, and I definitely want to go back. But you didn’t come here to listen to me about my life. I mean, you did, but not that aspect. Anyways, I had just returned home from vacation, went back to school, and was playing some games. Suddenly, I got this email from a friend of mine, who I knew well. The only interesting thing was that there was no subject, and seemingly no attachment, either. I decided to take a look at it, because I hate leaving emails unread. I looked inside, there was nothing. No text, no attachments. I deleted it, and just went on with my normal life. I did not realize how important it was. What I did realize, however, was that something had happened sometime after that. The next day, weird things kept appearing and disappearing. I literally saw a planet in the atmosphere! At least, when it’s night. It doesn’t make any sense. Part of me was inclined to think that I had slammed my head into something hard, but it didn’t really make sense. I mean, I would have had to bang my head really hard in order for something like this to happen. I became even more sure that it wasn’t the head-slam (really, I was such a restless sleeper, that I found bruises that I never remembered getting) that caused this, when I found that this had never happened in Earth’s history before. It didn’t make sense to me. The other part of me thought that there was something of greater importance at work. Greater than just hitting my head on the wall.As if I needed more proof that it wasn’t that, I also knew that if it were that, then I was the least likely one to be singled out by aliens. As you can see, neither of these explanations were satisfactory. But I couldn’t think of anything else. I was healthy, and I always had a healthy intake of water. It was also good water. There was really no explanation that made sense to me. I never bothered to tell anyone about this. I didn’t want to seem different to my friends, and I had no desire to end up in a hospital because my parents thought there was some dangerous medical condition. I didn’t get what was wrong, and I was less than willing to tell everyone about it. If you were in my shoes, you would see why I did this. Even so, I kept seeing robots speed past me, or explosions in the sky that I could not explain. And no one else saw them. I even had this dream that the Earth was breaking apart, and there were space chunks that I didn’t recognize, as they weren’t from a planet or an asteroid. I had no idea what the purpose of those rocks were for. I remembered it perfectly, too. I still don’t get why. In any case, it was a week after that when my head started hurting. I decided to go for a walk, hoping it would clear my mind. I didn’t find peace there, but I did find something else. I saw something round, but flat. It was basically a circle. It also had this weird purple swirly thing that went to the middle. When I thought of that type of thing, I thought of a blue/orange oval that came from a gun. This was something else entirely. Turns out, It was a genuine portal.
