Uriel

Today, I witnessed something extraordinary. Because for a moment in time, I was completely lost in the darkness. It was worse than losing all your senses. Time seemed to have no meaning in it, so much so, that I couldn't even touch Calvin and my brother. Finally, I was thrust foward violently, and then I saw Charles and Calvin. Charles seemed quite nervous and was glad we were together. Surprisingly, after this awkward journey, there was still the beauty of everything.

Mrs Who said, "When shall we three meet again, In thunder, lightning, or in rain?" Charles "scolded" the three Mrs Ws for not telling me that we were going to experience that. Once again, Mrs Who quoted "To action little, less to words inclined." Charles got very irritated by this and wished she stop quoting. Mrs Whatsit explained to us that this is because Mrs Who finds it hard to say things in her own words, so she had to quote. This is what I thought would happen if somebody didn't know English at all. Then, they revealed I was on the planet Uriel, the third planet of the star Malak in the spiral nebula Messier 101. This was the first time I have ever been to another planet, and the feeling was just spectacular.

Calvin grew frustrated, so he demanded an explanation of how we all got to Uriel. Mrs Whatsit said that they actually tesser (or wrinkle) instead of travelling at a speed.I thought of my mother's tesseract when I heard what Mrs Whatsit said. Then, I forgot all about the tesseract, and immediately asked Mrs Which, "Is my father on Uriel?" She said he was not there, but I kept demanding for an answer that would satisfy me. Then, Mrs Whatsit transformed into something like a Greek centaur. She looked quite similar to one indeed. She told us to get onto her back. Suddenly, Mrs Whatsit began to rise up a mountain that Charles noticed appears to reach to infinity. We heard some music from the creatures of Uriel. Mrs Whatsit translated it. She then picked three flowers and gave one to each of us. She told us to breathe at the flower occcasionally so that it will give us enough oxygen.

When we reached the top, Mrs Whatsit told us to face towards the dark, and soon I saw something that looked like a shadow. Calvin said it was evil, and he wanted Mrs Whatsit to make it go away. Mrs Whatsit took us down the mountain, and we could breathe without the flowers again. I said, "That dark Thing I saw, is that what my father is fighting?"
