Time Relative
"Hey don't touch that!" cried Anandlok. In the middle of the living room sitting next to the coffee table was what looked like maybe a metal box somewhat like a music case or maybe like in a briefcase. Anandloks dad picked it up wondering what it was and where it came from. Puzzled holding it in front of him in with both hands turns to look Anandlok. Anandlok runs over and grabs the bizarre briefcase and tries to pull it away from his father. Even more puzzled now, his dad doesn't let go of it. They are both tugging at the case trying to take it away from the other. All of a sudden a very low loud frequency sound starts emitting from the box, radiating from it and filling the whole room then the house. They start spinning counter clock wise and then the room lifts itself from the ground and starts spinning counter clock wise. Both of them with a death grip on this machine are struggling to get it away from the other. Anandlok manages to get the box away from his father and he falls to the ground.
Anandlok opens his eyes and sits up from the ground he looks around and doesn't see his dad. He calls out for him and nothing. He stands up and hears some keys at the front door. Anandlok is just standing in the living room which he notices looks very different than before. In fact it seems like he may even be in a different house. He thinks to himself "no, this is definitely my house but none of this is my furniture. " the front door now opens and enters a man with a puffy jacket and some heavy duty boots. The man surprised sees Anandlok standing in his living and says "what are you doing here? What are you doing in my house? How did you get in here?"
Anandloks eyes widen "his house?!" he thinks to himself. He runs to the front door runs outside and what he sees is unbelievable almost impossible! "Am I in the future?!" He thinks. To the left of the house he sees an enormous tree and in the thick branches of the tree is an entire house. He looks back at the house he was just inside of and sees it now from the outside. The house looks really skinny as if it was only one room but it's really tall 5 maybe 6 stories tall. He starts to walk to the left side of the house and there is a small street it looks like it could be a one way street or more like an ally. The middle of the street is indented downwards as If it were made like that for water to runoff. He starts to walk up this thin street, it's a bit steep. looking at all the thin and tall houses. He's just wondering around walking through this neighborhood trying to understand what is going on. Then the strangest feeling comes over him and he feels like he's on autopilot. He walks to a house that has an open gate to the back yard and he hears that there is a party going on. The fence of the backyard is a tall wooden picket fence. He's walking through the grass as he is reaching the main part of the backyard he sees a bunch of round plastic tables and from where he's standing he sees his grandfather sitting there drinking a lemonade all the way in the back.
"Grandpa?! Is that really him" he wonders. He starts to run to him, he's running as fast as he can. A lady wearing a dark blue blazer and dark blue skirt with black leggings underneath sees Anandlok running and she throws her right hand out and smacks his chest. As she does this Anandlok feels frozen in time but nobody seems to even notice he's there. He turns to look at this lady with curly orange brown hair. They lock eyes everything is still and Anandlok is paralyzed mid run he realizes It's his own mother. She tells him "No! Not you, you can't speak to him. You will mess up the timeline if you try." Anandloks mother somehow knows him to be her son even though he hasn't been born yet in her timeline, but then again psychics aren't affected by time changes.
