The Tunnel

submitted by bhiggins

Well I'm on a hover craft with my best buddy Dorothy, who has unfortunately passed away. We're riding through this strange swamp. All of a sudden we crash and I crash into a rock while she flies all the way over to an apartment building that stands alone . She yells for me to hurry over because there is something under a boulder beside the building. We both push the boulder away. Immediately I see a tunnel with light coming out of the other end. Dorothy tells me it is an interdimensional portal and that she is going through it. I refuse because the hole looks too small for me. She tells me she is going through it even if I don't so she crawls her way through while I watch.

Then later I'm at home with Tya and Dorothy. We are talking about the portal and Dorothy has convinced her to go through. I say that I am thirsty so I can go try to fill up the tunnel with a shovel. My dad tells them of my intentions and they put me to work widening the tunnel.

Then all of a sudden we are on the other side. It's a wonderful utopia! There is a cliff over looking a beach and a wonderful cobalt blue ocean that seems endless. I have this weird notion to jump over the edge but when I look down I just can't. When I look around I notice everyone I have ever met is there and they are all happy and laughing. I walk down to the beach and begin to walk in the water which is so clear you can see every individual grain of sand. It was beautiful...
