I know I already posted part one, but I decided to re-post it! ;)

Into the Future Journal, Pt. 1

January 4th, 2002

I was riding my bike home from school today when I felt this huge gust of wind! It blew me off my bike and then I went blank, I must have been knocked out! Anyways, I woke up in this really strange place, and So I started walking around, trying to figure out where I was. I definitely wasn't in my yard...or town for that matter.

Around me were the strangest...things...or, contraptions. For one thing, the plants looked...metallic and plastic. But, all the same, they were beautiful plants! I decided I was hungry, and since I had twelve dollars on me, I'd go to a restaurant. I started walking towards a building that looked like a really weird diner, it was called, 'Sci fi diner'. I went inside and sat down, and was shocked to see a robot waiting on me. A ROBOT!!! I sighed, "This must be a dream!" I was thinking. I ordered lilac casserole and star water for my food. I looked around, hoping to see a human being, but I was the only one in the diner. I looked around, and then to my utter joy, I saw a young man walk in. He was dressed in the weirdest clothes, though...like, I don't really know what they were. I was just happy to see someone other than robots. He came up to me and started talking, but the weird thing was, he didn't talk English. I just decided to leave then and there because I was getting freaked out! I guess I'll write more later..

January 5th, 2002

I remember pretty much storming out of the diner, and then going across the road (or should I say, blazing hot metal road?) and finding a tree (yes I found a real, green, growing tree.) to sleep under. I could not make a lean-to, so I just lay down under it. I awoke later to see the moon, actually...the moon was sort of..metallic looking. And the stars, they looked like paper. I was confused, yet I knew I was not dreaming. I finally fell asleep and awoke to the burning sun, at least that was not metal! I remembered I had had a backpack on before I fell, and found something on my back, yet it was definitely not a backpack. What was it? I took it off to find that it was a jet pack, I could fly?? I saw all these different buttons and things that I had no idea what to push. I could not find an instruction booklet, so I decided to just forget about it. I later went to the diner because I was starving half to death! I went inside and found to my great delight a girl about my age sitting down, eating. She was dressed not like everyone here was..but like someone from the 1800's!! I went up to her and greeted her, “Hello, my name is Destiny!” I said, she looked me over and frowned, “why are you wearing boys clothes? And your name...Destiny??” she asked, shocked. I looked at her and my face reddened, “these are made for girls—not boys!” I yelled. She looked at me, “everything here is strange. First these weird contraptions, and then some girl wearing pants.” she began, “I'm sorry I said that, I just have no idea why you are wearing pants...” she said. I nodded and sat beside her. “So, whats your name?” I asked politely, “Mine is Elena.” she said “well,” I said, “It sure is nice to see a human!” She nodded and then a robot waiter came up, “Can. I. Take. Your. Order?” it said in a broken up voice, “uhh..yeah, I'll take, a hamburger and fries, please!” I said, forgetting about the different foods here. KABOOM! I looked as the robot exploded into dust, “there aren't such things here. That's what happens to robots when you give wrong information.” Elena said, laughing a bit.

January 11th, 2002

Elena and I have become great friends, I figured out she had learned that 'strange language' from an old woman who'd been here since she was like—10! She also said that we had gone forward in time and that she was from 1854, I told her what time period I was from. She told me she would teach me the language when she had time. And since the day I met her, I've been sleeping in her house, which is made of metal because, she says that, “it would waste all the precious little real trees we have.” I agree. She says she likes my name now, and she's given me a dress to wear, although, I must say, I don't quite know why. I do know that in the 1800's girls wore dresses all the time, but I don't know why. Anyways, that's off the point! Elena showed me a real berry bush, it was full of delicious blackberries. She has normal food in her home, but she says she likes the food at the diner better and that I'll grow to like it, too--I think not!

January 14th, 2002

I guess I'll be changing the dates from now on in my journal, because I figured out the year is not 2002, it's 45001(I should have known it wasn't 2002.) I had never dreamed of the future being like this! I've met more people from here who speak the native tongue of this place, I can tell some of what they are saying because I've been learning the language. The language is called Githum, it's nothing like the language I know! I met a girl who was born here two days ago, her name is Sunam(Pronounced like—Soo-Nam, or something like that.) What weird and outlandish names these people have! The people are nice, all the same. Anyways, I certainly hope I get back to my time, I liked it much, much better! Anyways, Elena and I decided we might should set up our own restaurant here that has good food!

Into the Future Journal, Pt. 4

January(Actually, it's December here.) 9th, 45001

I have seen so many more people here since I met Elena and I'm so glad! I went to the library today without Elena (she and I have been going everywhere together.) and checked out a history book, it was entitled: What Happened in Those Days, and it was about how scientists from this time era have found artifacts from the time I came from and forward on! I told Elena when I got home that I would like to go and find my home, because we still lived on the planet earth—however, I'm sure I was not in the same Town, or maybe even Country that I had lived in! Elena told me it was nonsense to even try to find anything from that time era. I told her I was going to no matter what! I also asked her if there was still a Country called America, she said that we were indeed in America and there were still most of the Towns that had been there were still around.

December 12, 45001

I started to look for my hometown today, Elena said that there was no such Town but she told me where the Town was—or at least where scientists say it was! I am bringing a horse(thankfully there are horses around, still!) I would be in trouble if not because all they have for transportation is these weird contraptions for cars. Also, I've forgotten to say so, but there is not such a thing as money here, you can get whatever you want for free! Elena said she might teach me how to drive sometime, but when, she can't say!

December 13, 45001

I'm quite tired after riding all day yesterday and today. It seems I have gotten nowhere because I recognize nothing and the instructions she gave me were quite hard to use! I see all sorts of interesting things along the way, such as I saw this huge building---it was definitely much, much bigger than any building America had ever made in my time! I was interested to see what the building was for, and learned that it was a robot building factory. It was quite an interesting place on the inside, I was given a tour—by a robot!! It was so much fun! I was also given an offer to take a robot along with me on my trip, but I didn't want to. I wish I had, now!

December 15, 45001

I found a scientific research building, (I now know the language, by the way.) I was offered to have a scientist accompany me on my journey, of course I accepted. She was a very well know scientist, I had heard Elena talk about her often! She was very interested to know everything about me and the time era I was in, she also offered to take me in her vehicle contraption. I went with her, and she said she had never been to the spot I was heading, but that the instructions were very easy looking. I was relieved that I didn't have to ride on a horse anymore, it made me all sore! I am excited to get there, and as I am writing this journal entry, I am laying on this beautiful bed made of wood and with quilts that aren't outlandish. It is like a really beautiful inn that is based on how it used to be, it's really awesome!

December 16, 45001

I woke up this morning to find that the scientist(her name is Nita—not too bad of a name.) was already awake and had left a note that said, “Gone to Town to get some things—be back around 9 a.m., you can find a food diner downstairs.” I went down and was very glad to see someone, although from the 45001 time era, was dressed in clothing similar to my time era. There was real food served, bacon, eggs and all that. I was very happy and almost wanted to not go on, but was very determined to see the place I had once lived in. I must go now..I see Nita coming in!

December 18, 45001

Nita and I have gotten quite far in our travels, her vehicle goes much faster than the vehicles we had. Yet, it is a little scary going that fast, especially since there are no seat belts. She said that we should be there in a matter of two days. I am very excited, yet wondering something...is time still going on in my time era? I mean....is my family still there—Am I still there? These questions are quite puzzling to me, mostly the one about my family still living on, and if I'm not there and they are still doing there time in 2002, they are probably wondering where on earth I am! I wonder what it will be like to see ruins, ruins of the town that is perhaps still going on—yet not going on. I want to go home, that's all.

Into the Future Journal, Pt. 6

December 20, 45001

I am writing this in the vehicle as we bump along a dirt road, she says that this place probably has never been touched before since my time era. She says it looks as if there are lots and lots of things that would be great for the scientists to see! I notice, too that the roads here are different than the ones that are now made. They are in not very good condition, we now come upon houses---glorious, real, true houses that were made just like the ones in my time! I am telling her to look for Baker Street, and now we have came upon it. My house is in ruins, but so is everyone elses houses. I got out of the car to look at my house, and I see that I can go inside part of it. I'll write more later, I must go in and see it now.
