I've never been a popular kid. I'm what you can call average: Not so many talents, but not completely worthless. I go to school everyday, I take all my classes, and I get out of school around 6PM. My days are boring as they can be, it's like I'm on a loop program for some boring video game. Maybe that's it. Maybe I'm just a second character in someone's game. Yeah, that's probably it. Someone must be having a lot of fun right now, while I'm just doing things over and over again. While I was cursing my own life, going to the bus, I notice that a group of kids were on the other side of the street, all looking at something on the floor. Normally I wouldn't care about this, but all the cool kids were there, and from the look on their faces, it didn't seem like they were making fun of anyone, nor they were boasting the new shoes they got. They faces looked like a distortion, something unnatural, something really extraordinary. So my eyes went down to what they were looking at. And never in my wild dreams I thought I would ...
I was about to walk away but curiosity won over me, without any fear I asked the others to move away I got a little closer and opened the door what a surprise a long staircase that reached the bottom of the great hole, with some fear I decided to go To take a look I asked those who were there if anyone wanted to accompany me ... only 3 people offered who I never thought would want to go. One was the most recognized girl in school, the other was the one who was always afraid of the whole nerd in the class and the last the rude boy who I think just wanted to go so they wouldn't think he was a coward, because of his gestures I think inside he is regretting it but he will do it anyway ... the others said that even crazy people would not enter, so the four of us left we entered the great hole without knowing what was waiting for us there….
We were reaching the bottom when suddenly we heard some strange noises, people saying our names, we thought that those who had stayed upstairs were trying to make a joke and scare us, so we kept going down.
We went lower and lower when we finally found the bottom everything looked dark until suddenly we saw a bright light located behind us, the girl said that it could be a way out, being honest I thought the same. We got closer to see what it was, as we got closer we began to see something behind the light ... Wow !!!.
It seems another world a happy, colorful and full of people, we were amazed by so much beauty, is there really another world below ours? ... How long has this been here? ... We have lived so many years without knowing about this ? They are all the questions that are on my mind right now.
Between fear and amazement we entered the city, we wanted to explore a little about this strange universe located under our feet ... This place is incredible, full of happy people, without problems or worries, why is our world not like that? because we cannot live relaxed, because we have to be repeating the same life cycle all the time.
For a moment I thought about staying here forever, but ...
Could it be that staying here forever will resolve my life? I do not think so since wherever I am, I will continue to be myself, if I stay here maybe I will be free of problems or situations that I would like to avoid, but I will also forget about reality, maybe it can be fun or exciting, but I will always feel a empty in me of that I am sure.
Besides, what will happen to my family, those people who have always been there for me, I can't leave them.
After thinking about it so much, I decided that I preferred my reality to a fairy tale world that in the end will not teach me any lesson, it would only teach me to live within a dream from which I could never wake up.
Ready I have made a decision I will continue with the life I have always had but with a different perspective, leaving the place I go with many thoughts in my mind but none of them is about returning there. I just thought about what I was going to do when I arrived in my world, what was going to change in my life? and what was he going to do to improve it without the need for a simple fantasy.
I'm not sure I just know that it won't be the same ...
I want to take advantage of thanking @fireguardian for the initiative and although it is the first time that I participate in a writing event, I can say that I not only had fun but also imagined every corner of what I wrote and put my brain to the test, thank you!
