Angie Katherine Sánchez

A Time Machine through the floor
     It had not been 1 minute when the Miss Croft called attention to Soad in the classroom because she was sleeping on her desk, you girl, again? she asked in a strong tone to the blue-eyed, snow skin and red haired girl like the apple, Soad intimidated, showed a nervous and restless gesture when she saw the wrinkled face of her teacher -Excuse me, teacher ... I have spent the last nights reading a book about time machine, and I have not slept very well because it is really interesting, the laughter did no wait by part from her classmates -Ummmm, I understand, maybe you should choose a daytime schedule to read your book ... silent everyone! manifested the fine educator -I'm sorry, it will not happen again, replied the sweet lady with a soft and serene tone; although Soad knew that she had committed with her teacher not to fall asleep in class, she continued with the same habit throughout the week, this meant Miss Croft sent a report to her parents about her behavior, and so requested a meeting with them.
     The day of the meeting came, one fall day, the leaves flew and fell like multicolored butterflies, the birds sang in English to the rhythm of the clock, the parents met with the teacher and Soad in the classroom; it was 30 minutes of tension and uncertainty, when the meeting ended the parents said goodbye to Soad Berriel and that night they decided to take away her book as punishment.
     The days passed and Soad could not stop thinking about her book. One afternoon when there was no school, she expressed to Harry that reading it was like traveling through time, while they walking through a picturesque forest to arrive to their friend Chantal's house -Hey, how are you? Chantal asked … fine and you? the millennial dark-haired boy declared... Ok, and that face, Soad? -Do not blame her, her parents took her book away ... - Hahahahaha, don´t worry, they'll have to give it back, what plans do you comrades have? - We could go to the cinema would be great, mentioned Soad -that's good, girls, let's go.
     The teenagers crossed the forest again to go out to the central part and take a bus that would take them to a cool cinema; while they walked relaxed and talked about everything a little, Chantal noticed that the floor at one end of the forest was turning bright, as in a light blue, iridescent tone, look at that! exclaimed the golden haired girl with great astonishment, the floor of a part of the forest was becoming radiant and luminous, it seemed a celestial galaxy with shooting stars, the forest seemed enchanted, Soad decided to flash her cold hand on the edge of the floor and this transferred like a magic mirror, Harry stunned, and with his mind totally blank, he decided to put his head on the floor, what he saw was something really unique and surprising ... -Girls, it's a totally different world, look those people, are about 10 meters high - Impressive, it seems from another time, exclaimed Soad -Amazing, let's explore it, Chantal expressed.
     The guys decided to jump on the floor and fell from a glistening and dazzling whirlpool to that great place, those beings looked at them amazed and petrified because they were giants as before of B.C age, surrounded them with that curiosity and fear that reflected in their looks; the three young people felt afraid because they thought the giants would hurt them, but they were totally harmless and they asked them who they were, which kingdom they came from, due there were not yet countries and in an unknown language that did not exist currently, and the adolescents talked in English as their mother tongue, but these huge beings did not understand them communicatively.
     After a while, as by magic, the giants and the children became friends, those wise beings invited them to visit their lands, which seemed animated and the architecture was totally unequaled, the houses were of stone and they had a baroque style like caves but very well decorated inside, everything was so well cared for, the forests dazzled like frosts in the sky, the giants lived with goblins, nymphs, gnomes, leprechauns, dragons, mermaids, pegasus, unicorns, as if they were members more inside their circle, it was a land full of peace, harmony and spirituality. -I cannot believe what my eyes are seeing! Harry said, -it helped that you read a lot of that book, Soad! this is a great adventure! Chantal mentioned, Soad smiled as she watched every corner in that beautiful kingdom of giants.
     Suddenly, the bright light blue swirl appeared, and the teenagers, despite being in a wonderful place and where there was not evil, decided return home with their families, the giants thanked them for coming and the guys said goodbye in a non-verbal language, when they entered that magic swirl, this disappeared, and they returned to the forest again. Home sweet home! Harry expressed. The adventurous adolescents believed the event they lived, were many hours, but when they returned to their homes had not spent but a few minutes; as if there had been no space-time there, and as if the magic of Soad's book would has originated the situation.
     A few days later, the parents returned the book to Soad and her friends did not stop reading it, because they wanted that time machine represented on that magic floor of the forest to be presented to them again, so that they could visit other places that existed hundreds or even thousands of years in the world or will exist in a future, because for them that also meant a great and new discovery in the history of current technology, and in this way they could also avoid many problems of type social, economic, environmental and political in the society.

Dear all!
Morning and have a great time.
About the story shared by ANGIE SANCHEZ, I have to recognize a pair of things, at first It's well structured, I like the way Angie describe the situation and introduce the dialogues simultaneously. 
And the only mistake I noticed after reading the first and a middle of the second page is in the first paragraph when Soad says:
  • "-Excuse me, teacher ... I spent the last nights reading a book on the time machine, and I have not slept very well because it is really interesting, the laughter was not expected from your classmates -Ummmm I understand, maybe you should choose a daytime schedule,(...)"
I'd writte "her classmates" in he place of  "your classmates" in: "... the laughter was not expected from your classmates..."
I recognize too that I did't read more because I found lots of similar details with the story I'm writting. 
So, I share you a link and an image when you could watch the story.
 Best Regards,
MaritzAtenea RR
