down from high up.
    I observed the surroundings and it seemed I was standing on the same beach, but somehow the landscape was a lot different. The surroundings were neatly taken care of and I had never seen such a sterile environment. To make matters even more confusing for me, it was daytime instead of the night time I had left behind.
    Without realizing, I had fully stepped inside this new world and the portal behind me disappeared before I had a chance to look back. I felt lost and confused as to where or when I had travelled. The fear of not being able to return back home captured my brain allowing a justified panic to grow inside me.
    Once the first shock of what lay before my eyes had partially subdued, the fact that I had foolishly gone through something I didn’t understand, hit me. My intentions were to have a quick look on what was in the other side and return at once. Now it seemed I was stuck in this unknown place. The thought of being lost without the possibility to return home, just as it had happened to those in the Bermuda Triangle, and also the prospect of facing an unfamiliar world, impossible to understand at first glance, gave me shivers. I felt the need to make contact with someone just for the sake of hearing some good news.
    Unsure if I was experiencing a faraway future or an alien planet, I turned the attention at the strange high buildings located along the coastline with the hope for clues. Failing to spot any familiarities with the world I came from, I turned my eyes towards the sky in desperation. The view managed to shock me even more. A massive structure resembling a flat metal platform seemingly holding very tall buildings on it, floated about ten thousand feet above the ocean waters in front of me.
    It has to be another planet, I thought to myself, there was no possibility this kind of technology exists on earth. Instinctively, took a deep breath to check if the atmosphere was suitable for me to breathe freely, regardless that I had been doing just that since I stepped in. The air was fresh and rich with oxygen. The natural smell of the beach and the surroundings, strongly hit my nostrils enhancing the perception of this beautiful world in my brain. Whatever this world was, a different planet or a distant future, surely it had a special way to make me feel good being a part of it.
    The height of the skyscrapers along the beach didn’t allow me to see what was behind these structures. As I stood rooted to the spot, with my feet dug into the sand, I was unable to figure out the direction I needed to go. The shape of the coastline looked virtually the same as the one I was standing before walking through the anomaly. Since everything around appeared to be advanced beyond my general knowledge, it made me question if I had travelled in time, instead of a different planet.
    I started to walk away from the shore towards the buildings, which appeared to be hundreds and hundreds of storeys high. These buildings were so high that I unable to see its tops with my naked eye. In between every so many floors, the structures seemed to be cut and something like a round dark coloured mechanism which I couldn’t explain at the time, held each piece together. Looking at the buildings as a whole, it gave the impression that someone had physically taken several cylindrical skyscrapers, put them on top of each other and held them together with this black round mechanism. It was an unbelievable sight for someone like me who had just arrived from a far less developed world.
    Suddenly, my chest lightened with happiness when I read an illuminated sign on one of the buildings. Although in a slightly bizarre way of putting words together, it was in English. Luckily for me, at least wherever or whenever I was, I knew there wasn’t going to be a language barrier.
    My phone vibrated in my pocket and I remembered I had a piece of technology from my world. The fact my phone was working, filled me with hope that perhaps it
