Emily's Time Slip

Time Slip to the past

By Arjun SPublished about a year ago 3 min read

Once upon a time, there was a young woman named Emily who had always been fascinated by the idea of time travel. She spent her days reading books about time travel and watching movies that explored the concept. She longed for the chance to experience time travel herself, but she never thought it would actually happen.

Emily came upon a strange, luminous doorway one day as she was making her way home from work. She was initially afraid to enter the portal, but her curiosity eventually won out.

As soon as Emily stepped inside the door, an odd feeling swept over her. She turned to glance about as she realised she wasn't in her own time. The landscape was different, the structures were older, and the populace wore unusual attire.

Emily was both perplexed and enthusiastic. Though she was unaware of how or why she had arrived in this new period, she had finally realised her dream of time travel. She made the decision to look around her and try to determine where she was.

Emily observed the differences as she moved through the streets. There were no automobiles or contemporary amenities, and the structures were fashioned of stone. People were riding horses and dressing in vintage attire.

Emily spent hours wandering, absorbing in everything this new environment had to offer. Although she had no idea how to return to her own time, for the time being she was happy to explore and discover the past.

Emily eventually arrived across a small community. Despite her odd appearance and weird attire, everyone there was friendly and cordial. She stated that she was trapped in their universe because she had somehow journeyed across time. The locals were enthralled by Emily's tale and wanted to assist her in returning to her own time. She was informed of a wise old guy who they thought would be able to assist her who resided in the surrounding mountains.

After saying thank you to the locals, Emily departed for the mountains. After hours of climbing, she finally arrived to the old man's cave.

The elderly guy listened carefully as Emily described her circumstance. He claimed to have seen time travellers before and appeared to comprehend her situation. She could get back to her own time, he explained, but it would need a strong magical device.

The senior citizen gave Emily a map and told her to use it to locate the relic deep inside a local dungeon. Emily was anxious yet steadfast. She started on her mission and battled her way past traps and enemies until she discovered the relic.

Emily was once more overcome by a peculiar feeling as soon as she picked up the object. Standing in the midst of the same street where she had initially entered the vortex, she was suddenly whisked back to her own time.

While Emily was happy to return to her own time, she was also sorry to leave the world she had grown to love. She was aware that she had been through an amazing experience and would never forget the time slip that had made it possible for her to go back in time.

Emily changed the way she lived her life starting that day. She treasured every second and did not take anything for granted. She was aware of the value of life and how fleeting each moment was.

Emily continued to read and learn about time travel, but she knew that her experience had been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She would never forget the people she met and the lessons she learned during her time slip adventure.

    Great story, I too strongly believe that the past still exists somewhere as a compilation of everything that has ever happened and that compilation is kept safely with the Universe.
