The strange device in my hands hummed with energy, and before I knew it, I was in a different time. Everything was familiar, yet different. The sky was a brighter shade of blue, and the buildings were older, like something from the past. I looked around, confused. I didn’t know how I had traveled here, but it felt like I was somewhere far from the future.
As I walked down the street, I saw people wearing clothes from long ago. It was so strange, like I was in a world that was frozen in time. I pressed a button on the device, hoping it would help me travel back, but instead, I was pushed forward into another moment. Everything changed in a blink. Suddenly, I was surrounded by tall, shiny buildings and flying cars. This was the future.
I realized the device wasn’t just for one place. It could send me anywhere, past or future. It was up to me to figure out how to control it and what adventures I’d face along the way.
Leo could hardly believe his eyes: the streets of Tenochtitlán bustled with life, with merchants, warriors, and priests moving between canals and imposing temples. The air smelled of incense and roasted corn, and the murmur of Nahuatl filled the air like ancient music. But his astonishment faded when he noticed the hooded figure still following him, always maintaining the same distance. He didn’t know if it was a spy, a timekeeper… or someone with a mission very different from his own. yess
I miss my family and friends. Moving was difficult and different. I had a wonderful life and a bright future to live. I had friends, people I was very close to, until everything changed. For me, time stood still. I felt terrible. I left my family and friends behind, and I had to move far away, which included changing schools and friends. I would like to travel back in time and be with my friends and family. My devices changed locations. My energy was lost. Everything went gray, without friends, and I was in a new school. I don’t know how much I would like to take a trip back to the memories I had, but I can’t.
