Another Dimension

"Ahhhhhhh. What a nice day. I get to sit around the house doing nothing, no work, no chores, and nobody around to bug me all day long," I said as I sat down in my gray comfy recliner to watch a movie on the television. I have wanted some peace and quite for the longest time. I have been to busy what with the kids, work, and my wife, to just sit down and relax for a day. To just have the whole day to myself. Well today is that day. My wife took the kids to a water park, I don't have to work today, and I have rented a movie that I have wanted to see for the longest time. Today is just going to be the perfect day. I just got done making a nice large bowl of popcorn, topped with have a stick of butter, white cheddar popcorn cheese, and some M&M's for extra flavor. I haven't had this in forever because my wife would always harp on me how unhealthy it is. Well who gives a shit right? If it is good tasting, it is good eating.

"Well finally the previews are all over it!" Yeah sure the previews are the best part of the film, sometimes, but this film has been our for so long that I have already seen all of the films that they showed the previews for. This is how long I have been wanting to see this film, to god damn long that is how long. I kick my feet up in the recliner lean back, and press play on my remote. The usual MPAA rating pops up, and then all of a sudden the whole room starts to shake around me. "What the fu-!" The TV screen was growing bigger and bigger. It was coming closer and closer towards me. The room around was disappearing into a dark abyss. I tried to get up off my chair, but their was a invisible bond holding me to the chair, I could not move no matter how hard I really tried to. Then as if an electric shock was going through the chair I was in, the chair started to move closer and closer to the now wall of a movie that had started. "WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I started rocking the char because I was shaking so badly. I was scared out of my wits, and then just before I should have hit the wall of our living room I stop thinking and that is all I could remember.

"What do you think he is?"
"Do you think he is a Wender?"
I could hear voices, asking a bunch of questions, and then I opened my eyes and saw a whole bunch of people standing over the top of me in a nice summer day. The sun was shining high above all of them, but was it really the sun that was above them? It had a grayish tint to it, unlike the normal yellowish look that I am used to. "Where am I?" were the only words I could muster out. "A better question yet is, who are you?" asked a tall looking man with blonde hair standing right over me. I sat up from where I was sitting and said, "Me? My name is Franklin Craw." Everyone around me was standing around in just shorts, not any t-shirts were visible as far as I could see. The women were in bikini tops though, "Darn" I thought to myself. "Well what is your purpose here Sir Franklin Craw?" I didn't answer him right away though, I kept looking around this place and kept thinking to myself, "Where am I?" Their were no trees around, just plain dessert, and me and all of the people around me were on the only patch of green that I could see. Of what I could see though, because their were to many people around me blocking my view. "I said what is your purpose here?" said the tall man looking down on me now.

I started to stand, but the man whipped out a long staff and said, "That wouldn't be quite a great idea right at the moment Mr. Craw! Now tell me what is your purpose here?" saying the last few words while poking me with his staff. I couldn't resist not telling him why I was here, even though I didn't know myself. It was like his staff poked it out of me, "I do not know sir. I was just sitting at home alone while watching a movie, and then when it started my house started shaking. Then the chair I was sitting in was brought towards a wall which was now the TV, and now here I am not knowing where I am or who the hell you all are?" I said all of this in rapid succession. "You mean to tell me that you were teleported here from another dimension?" a voice asked from the audience. It was a voice though I recognized. It sounded so familiar, I knew I had heard it before.

"Hm, interesting," said the man who had the staff. I noticed now that he was a very built man, very powerful looking, and yet he looked really familiar too. "You may stand Sir Franklin Craw of the other dimension," said the man with the staff. I then got to my knees and stood up off the grass. Then, like someone had hit me in the head with a bat, it had slammed into my head. I knew where I was! I was inside the movie I was watching, I was in the movie called, "Year 2100!'

Not the average thunderstorm

Hi, my name is Damian John Rutherford. I live is Bloomers, Wisconsin, I have lived here ever since I can remember. Well since today I guess you could say. I do not think I will be living here no more after what happened today. I live on a farm you see? Well today is May 28th, 2011, and I was doing chores as usual. I was feeding the cows some food, and getting ready to milk cows as usual: putting the milkers in the right spots, filling up the food bunk so the cows can eat after they'd been milked, and the other usual stuff before we milk cows. Well all of a sudden I see this dark cloud taking over the southwestern part of the sky. I think nothing of it though you know? They had predicted thunderstorms for today on the news, so I thought that was them coming. This, though didn't look like one of them normal storms you know? The clouds seemed darker, and the wind really started to be picking up, I mean leaves were flying everywhere. I just stood their in the middle of the yard staring at this huge dark cloud. It was getting closer and closer. I could notice less bright welcoming blue sky and more darkness approaching the farm. I was the only one home too, I am 17 you see. So, I thought I had better get things done before this gets too bad, if it will get bad. I have seen a bad storm before, but I dunno? I had a funny feeling about this dark approaching cloud (well it seemed like one cloud, but I guess it might be just a whole bunch scrunched together). I finished everything I needed to get done before milking in about 15 minutes, plus I had also taken off the clothes of our clothes line, they were flopping around you see, their even was some hanging on the fence because of the wind you see. So after I had finished all that I stood out in the middle of the yard again, with my car about three yards away from me sitting next to the fence dividing our grass from the driveway. I stood their, and stared at the approaching dark cloud again. Then, all of a sudden I felt a hum in my pocket, my cell phone of course was going off. I pulled it out of my pocket, a beaten up BlackBerry Storm2 which had a dent in the right-hand side of it. I pressed the unlock button on the top left-hand side of it to see what was making all the humming. It was an alarm set for five o'clock p.m. which meant it was time to start milking the dumb-ass cows like everyday. Hm, no one was home yet which was weird though. I thought someone was supposed to help me tonight. "Oh well," I thought to myself as I put the cell back in the pocket of my sweatpants. Then I saw it as I looked up, I thought I had felt the wind pick up very drastically. A funnel was falling from the dark endless abyss that was a cloud. It was approaching the earth with every second. I stood their with shock on my face for a matter of what must have been two seconds because then I came to my sense as I heard the bark of my two dogs which both had appeared at my side. "HOLY SH-" but I didn't say anymore. I grabbed one of my dogs in arms (the one I knew was lazy and wouldn't follow), and called my other dog to follow me. I ran and ran for the front door of my house. I banged it open and ushered Lucy, the non-lazy dog, into the house. She listen, while I still had the other dog in my arms I looked back at the dark abyss with the funnel coming down out of it towards the ground, and then I saw the end of it hit the ground and everything in it's way being torn out of it's way. Then I banged open the steps to the basement, which are right next to the door I just came through. I yelled at Lucy, "Come on Lucy, go down the steps! Come on!" She then went down the steps before me. Lola, the other lazy dog, just sat in my arms shaking. We reached the basement, and I could hearing roaring sounds from above and loud noises, which I had no idea what they were coming from. I set Lola down in between my legs as I set down, and I called Lucy close to me. Then I put my arms over them and just looked down and closed my eyes. We sat their for about a total of five minutes as we heard the loud whooshing noises above us. We had no idea what was going on above. Thousands of thoughts ran through my head: Where are my parents? What about the cows? The calves? The farm? What is going to happen? Then, all of a sudden, out of nowhere all of the noises above stopped, and we were in utter silence. All I could here were the whimper of my dogs as they sat their, calm, but shaking in my arms. I then opened my eyes and looked up. Nothing was wrong (so far). All was normal down here. My dogs just sat their. The both of them curled up in their own little ball of fur. I left them be, I wanted to know what had happened to the world above. I walked up the basement steps to get to the door to see the outside. Their was a problem though, because as I rounded the corner to see the door at the top of the steps I didn't see the door. I saw the bright blue welcoming sky that I had seen not even a half-an-hour ago. I walked then, up the stairs to see the rest of the damage that had been done. I shouldn't have though, I shouldn't have walked up those steps because when I got to the top, I saw nothing. Everything had been taken, destroyed, ruined by the tornado. Their wasn't anything left for me to even see. All I could think to myself was, "That is not the average thunderstorm."
