the strange machine

A Story by bookworm4ever

adventures of a child who bumps into a magical machine

………and reluctantly I pressed it. Suddenly a weird, loud noise and then the silence after it was spine chilling .Nothing happened for a moment but then suddenly a feminine voice boomed in the room. It said: ‘’we welcome you to a world of surprises, please enter one pound!”I was shocked but unwillingly took out one pound that my mom had given me for transport expenses and placed it on a hand that had automatically been stretched out. Immediately the floor beneath me gave way and I shrieked and fell down.

When I gained consciousness I found myself on a road that had been surrounded by a grove of trees, bountiful flowers and heaven touching mountains. The machine was besides me and again it spoke in an orotund voice, ‘’ dear sir or madam please choose your desired destination.’’ I selected a knob saying ‘river in a jungle’ and turned it. This time the path did not gave way instead the earth shook and I fell on the ground unconscious.

When I woke up I was on an overgrown path and in front of my eyes I saw a jewel blue river shimmering in the light of the afternoon sun. I walked towards it and its aroma of the water was great. I felt relaxed after drinking the cold crystal clear water of the river and I followed it as it splashed its way in the forest. It drew me to a raspberry bush and I tore a bunch from it to taste it. It tasted rich and after munching all the vivid red berries I droned into a long sleep.

Upon waking I found the machine next to me again and in a casual tone it asked me to select another location. I love hiking trips hence I this time opted a snowy mountain. I fully awake this time fell in a mist and when it ended I was on the foothills of a vampire white mountain. I was fully equipped in hiking equipments therefore I started to climb up the mountain. I reached a snow covered terrain and rested over there for some time and then started again for y journey to the peak. After a tiresome walk l reached my desired place-the beautiful peak of the mountain. I found the magical machine right next to me and now I preferred going back home. I turned a knob which said off.

I was back in the attic and when I explained this to my uncle he gave a mischievous grin and asked me to drive me home.

* The end!*
