ake up! Justin, wake up!’
I was awakened from my beautiful dream.
‘What’re you
doing Mum?’ I yelled, taking my clock. ‘It’s only……six o’clock!’
‘I’m sorry, but you see!’ She pointed out the window. I put on my glasses and looked.
I was shocked. I saw the sea. ‘Why was there a sea on Sirius?’ I wondered. Sirius was a star in the
Andromeda Galaxy.
‘Mum, why?’ I asked with a sense of trepidation. ‘I think we’ve crossed into space,’ she answered.
Despite my fear, I was curious.
Our house on Sirius was an automated house. But now, it was just an ordinary detached house with old
furniture. When I opened the door, a stink filled my nose. While I was walking along the street, I saw a
person who looked like my friend, Matthew. ‘Matthew, you have also crossed into space?’ I asked him
curiously. ‘Who are you? Don’t be mad! How can I cross into space?’ he answered, walking away from me.
My mind was full of questions: how can people look just like him?
However, up to this moment, I still didn’t know where I was. I continued walking along the road and
finally arrived downtown. There were many people mingling about. I saw a big banner, ‘New Pearl River
Delta - New Life’, hanging on the exterior of a shopping mall. Therefore, I thought that the place was
called Pearl River Delta.
Suddenly, I saw something on the street. I took it back home.
‘Where have you been?’ asked my Mum.
‘I was just walking around the city and I have brought something back!’
‘What is it?’
‘I don’t know, it seems like a bill,’ I said, taking off my glasses and putting the bill under them. A while
later, a hundred bills were copied by my glasses. ‘Mum! I think these will help us to tide over our economic
problem,’ I said, as I gave the bills to my Mum.
Several days later, I made a new friend. He was a nineteen-year-old teenager called Andrew. We always
went out together. I told him about my experience in Sirius. In just a few days, we became bosom friends. I
showed him the special function of my glasses. The glasses became an electro-sword, and then a speaking-
gun, a bike that could change its size and a phoenix on fire. He was astonished to see those amazing ‘magic’
transformations and he wanted to learn more about them.
Therefore, in the following months, I stayed in this strange city and discovered more and more strange
things. The people who lived here had some bizarre habits. They ate food everyday but I did not have to as
I could exist on a block of metal for a week.
One day, something peculiar happened to me. At first, I wanted to go to a hardware store to buy some
metal for lunch. Although the metal was disgusting, I purchased it. That was not important but after I had
bought it, I saw an eccentric young man looking at me with an evil smile. I rubbed my eyes immediately.
Eerily, he disappeared.
That night, a dream showed me a message but I didn’t know whether it was a dream or a fact. A man told
me to do something but I couldn’t remember exactly what it was. This time, I also ignored it. However, I
always had this dream and each time I had it, more details were revealed to me than in the previous dream.
But, I still didn’t know what it meant.
One day, I found Andrew to play with me. H had been a student of ‘magic’. ‘What do we play now?’ he
asked. I told him what had happened to me. ‘Don’t be worried! Sometimes you don't have to think about it
too much as it will be revealed to you some time later,’ he said.
That night, I also had this dream. ‘Boom!’ A sudden, big bang awoke me. Lots of houses were on fire.
When I went out of my house, a big meteorite had crashed on our houses. Suddenly, my head ached. I
remembered what I should do now. My job was to scout this place because this place contains lots of
resources. My commander sent me here to search the area where the resources were. However, an error
