A New World

I fell through the portal into pitch darkness. I was falling down for about two mintues until I landed on a soft surface. Suprisingly the fall didn’t hurt whatsoever. I felt the surface I was on and it felt like grass. I managed to pick myself up. And like I thought, it was grass. I believe I landed in a park. I felt weaker than I did before in my world. I noticed a change too. My clothes were different than the ones I had before. My silky white and pastel pink dress turned into a white shirt, a yellow bow, a brown skirt, and brown thigh high socks that matched my brown shoes. My hair was different too. It wasn’t down like before, instead it was in a side bun. “Where am I? And what do I do?” I asked myself in my head because I didn’t want anyone else to know that I came from somewhere else. Then I noticed that there was a red string wrapped around my finger. It was bright red that shined in the sunlight. But the strange thing was that it lead to somewhere else. It pointed North from where I was. I suspected that I had to follow the red string to find my one and only soulmate. But before I could follow the mysterious string, I had to know my surrounding. I saw a man with a long brown beard sitting on a bench. He was reading a newspaper. I was very nervous to go talk to him because I didn’t know where I was and I didn’t know him. I built up my confidence and walked to him. “H-hello sir. I was wondering if you know where this place is?” I asked shyly.

“Why do you want to know?” he asked. He had a suspicous face and I bet he wondered why I was even asking. I stood there for five seconds thinking about what I should say. He stared at me and I had to reply.

“I got here with a friend. She suprised me with this mysterious trip and I lost her. Can you tell me where I am so I could text her where i’m at?” I lied. He stared at me which felt like forever. My face turned red and everything was suddenly hot. Was he going to call the cops on my because I asked where I was? I gulped wondering the different possibilities he could do.

“Your in New York.” Specifically, Central Park. Next time stay with your friend so you don’t have to ask random strangers.” he said. He looked back down at his newspaper and started reading. I was relieved that he didn’t do anything to me. But I was also suprised. I never heard of New York. I lived in a place called “Stellar” which was part of the planet called “Universe.” On my planet, we aren’t aliens. We are regular people, just like the ones I saw around me. I walked away from the man and started walking down a path that led to a busy steet. I breathed heavily, knowing that my adventurous journey to find my soulmate was going to start.
