On and Off

I woke up touching the ceiling. I looked around, watching as things began floating. What in the world is happening?! I quickly swing my arms and legs around, trying to hold on to the nearest thing that wasn’t floating, which happened to be the door handle.

Trying to readjust myself, I started swinging my legs, making my way down to the ground. What just happened? Slowly, I looked out as I opened the door, which made a loud, creaking sound. I looked out into the hallway to see everything floating up. As everything flew around, I looked at my watch, seeing that it was 5:59 AM. The next second, the time turned into 6:00 AM.

Everything suddenly collapsed. I put my hands up, covering my head. Suddenly, a big BOOM erupted across my entire house as everything crashed to the ground. I stood there, shocked. After a minute, I traverse the house looking for my parents.

“What just happened?” I ask.

“I have no idea,” my mom replies, looking shocked.

“I’m just as confused, but we need to find a way to clear everything in case this happens again,” my dad suggests.

We agree, and we start clearing everything off the ground. Before we knew it, the time passed, and it was now 6:55 AM. We just finished putting almost everything into the closet. We sat down, taking a break.

All of a sudden, I feel my body being lifted by an unknown force, feeling the weight of my body. I look at my watch. 7:00 AM. Oh no…

“Not again!” I say in disbelief.

We quickly grab the nearest objects to prevent ourselves from floating into the air. However, I notice a weird controller in the air that I didn’t see before. I grab it out of curiosity. I shove it in my spare pocket and zip it up.

It seemed like forever, waiting for gravity to come back again. When gravity came back, I looked down at my watch. 8:00 AM. It seems like gravity disappears every other hour….that’s interesting… I sat back down, relieved.

“It seems like gravity disappears every other hour,” I shared.

“If that is the case, then we don’t have much time to do things,” my mom replied.

“I’ll go make breakfast in the meantime,” my dad said.

I took out the controller and saw that it had a button on it. I put it to the side, not thinking much. The next few hours went by the same. Gravity turned “off” for an hour, and it turned “on” for another. Every time gravity turned off, I grabbed onto the nearest thing, waiting for gravity to come back. As time went on, I managed to finish my homework and exercise, but I could not bring myself to go outside. I was scared that I would fly into space.

Eventually, I picked up the controller that I had found again. I clicked on the button to see what would happen. All of a sudden, I was sucked into a portal that appeared out of thin air. A mysterious force guided my body in a direction I couldn’t see. The next second, I saw myself go through another portal.

As I tried to look around, all I could see was a space of emptiness. I had nothing to help me. The space around me seemed to go on forever, as if I were in another dimension. I walked around, but saw no escape. I was trapped in a different world.
