Returning to the story, the trees were vibrant and full of color. The only sounds that could be heard were those of nature. I witnessed huge creatures flying overhead in flocks, resembling what we know to be pterodactyls. I was mesmerized as they soared across the sky. The dinosaurs I saw were large and very intimidating to say the least. Imagine a moving skyscraper. It was mind-boggling. I felt blessed and fortunate to see such a place. Looking into this prehistoric world, I witnessed their existence as they lived in harmony. I watched from atop for minutes with content, until I began to fall backwards as if being sucked into the wormhole. Seconds later, I was back inside the tunnel I saw the starting point and the end as I stretched out my arms and pushed forward my legs, beginning to fly. Weightlessly I glided and observed the tunnel beginning to close and shrink all around me. I looked as I made my approach and saw the end, my beginning, shrinking considerably faster than I had anticipated. It soon shrunk to the size of a basketball with yet miles to go. I thought to myself 'there is no way I am going to make it.' As I looked back the tunnel was closing behind me. Here, I accepted the reality that I was not going to make it out. Kicking in survival mode, without hesitation, I quickly jumped into the first scene that I saw to my right.
Outside the wormhole I gulped for a breath of air and fell to the ground below. I turned over on my back as the remnants of the wormhole disappeared from sight. Upset, uncertain, noise of a crowd overwhelmed my thoughts as I turned to look, I realized I was in Ancient Egypt, specifically in the Valley of Giza. I saw two of the three pyramids; the great sphinx wasn't even an idea yet. In disbelief, in awe, I was looking at a place foreign to many, except for the millions of people before me. Looking into the palace, I saw the Pharaoh sitting on his throne as people brought offerings to their God of the land.
