Last night I was watching my favorite movie for the third time when suddenly a strange knock caught me off-guard. It wasn’t any of my friends. I opened the door and a very old man appeared. He had a wise look and a very large and white beard. I asked him about what he came for and told me that he came from the future. I laughed out loud and tried to close the door but he stopped me. He came into my house and took a sit. He told me that he was here to tell me more about my future, but why me? I doubt and didn’t believe him at first, but he looked at my soda bottle and told me that it will fall from the table right now.. And It happened. I was shocked. The old man started telling me about what’s happening in the future, he said that everything will change, no more wars and no more fights, Germany will become the first power in the world instead of America and a lot more. And I asked about me , he told me that I’m going to make my parents so proud by getting graduated and that I can achieve my dream about travelling all over the world with my sister. He also said that I will open my own house of haute couture as I always have been a fan of fashion. Those were some brilliant stuffs but then he said that I’m about to lose some friends and figure out how fake people can be , he added that my favorite music band ‘’ Imagine dragons ‘’ won’t stay together. It was like a nightmare I was about to cry until he said the worst thing ever .. that I will never meet Ryan gosling . It was surprising to hear all what’s going to happen for me but I tried to take it like a dare to achieve what he said I’m not going to as long as I believe that only god knows our destiny.

DeleteOnce, I just woke up I heard hard knocks in the door, I feel afraid and went through it. Who’s knocking the door? No one answer me. My fear increased and I got in trouble. After few minutes, I heard some new knocks; I went again next the door and asked. This time I heard a strong voice telling me that I don’t have to be afraid and this person won’t do anything bad for me. So I opened. It was a huge odd person wearing white clothes, he came from the sky and told me about my life in the future. Belong to him, after 5 years my life will totally change. I will travel to Dubai and look for a job there. He added that I don’t have to worry because that city will be my good luck and I will achieve all my dreams: become business women, marry and have lovely children. I was surprised and started asking some questions. Suddenly the person disappears and the door closed. Where is the man of the future? Was I dreaming? Was he honest or did he lie ? A lot of question hunted my life and I haven’t found answers yet. I think that I have to wait 5 more years to found them.
ReplyDeleteA Dubai businesswoman? Cool!
DeleteI was watching a movie on my bed when someone knocked on the door. It was a man with strange clothes and strange voice. He told me that he have information that will save my life. Of course I didn’t believe him because that man doesn’t know anything about me so I just closed the door and when back to my bed. He knocked again and begged me to listen to him so I accept. He told me that something will happen to this house. He said that a fire will burn the entire house and in that fire we will die. I asked him why he said that and he told me that he came back from the future and in the future he was living in this house and when he bought the house they told him that the first owner died in a fire. That was unbelievable. He told that if I want to save my life I had to leave the house now. I asked to go out and he just said “At least I tried”. When he left I took my children with me and I when to my husband’s office to talk with him. When I went back at home, guess what was on fire…
ReplyDeleteVery good story. Thrilling.
DeleteYesterday after noon when I got back from school, I felt like something strange is about to happen but I didn't know what it is. There was nobody at home. So I decided to take a shower. After that I went straight to the kitchen to eat. Once I've done with food, I turned on the TV and started watching a soccer match. After a while, I heard someone knocking at the door. It was 8:00 PM and I wasn't expecting any visitors. I checked the intercom but nobody answered me, so I opened the door and took a look outside. A man in black appeared suddenly and said: Simo, I'm you from the future. I'm here today because I don't want you to get in some troubles in the future. I can tell you any personal detail you would like to know about you or about your family just to make sure that I'm not lying on you. I was scared and I didn't what to do. So I just asked him a couple of questions. -You said you're coming from the future in order to give me some information that will save my life in the future, which seems weird for me. First of all, I'd like to know more about you and what you’re doing in the future. And then we can move to the subject of saving my life. He didn't answer all my questions clearly so I decided no to accept his help and closed the door on his face.
ReplyDeleteYou're not very superstitious, are you?
DeleteIt was a rainy cold night of December, i was packing my clothes for that travel to Canada. My flight was at midnight and i had no time to waste, i was really late and needed to hurry up,i was running around the house packing quickly everything i found on my way,when suddenly i heard someone knocking at the door ! That was really strange, i was expecting nobody ! So i shouted from upstairs : '' who's there ?'', nobody replied,so i came down and opened the door. An old man was standing there,he was wearing some dark weird clothes and informed me that he was the airline pilot of my flight tonight and that unfortunately we won't make it to Canada, he also told me that he came back from the future to prevent me from getting into that flight and assured me that this was no joke and he was dead serious about everything he just told me,i wanted to speak to him furthermore but he just ran away, i wanted to follow him but i couldn't, so i just came back inside and finished packing what's left of my stuff,that's when i realized that it was already midnight and i'm probably missing the departure. That stupid bastard must be really proud,i'm stuck here until tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he saved you from something dangerous! Good ideas.

ReplyDeleteOne evening, I was in my room watching my favorite show, when I heard someone knocked at the door. it really was weird, because, it was one PM. I was scared and i felt my feet shaking. I took my courage i went down to see who knocked at the door. So i took a big breath, then, i opened the door, and suddenly, a tall old man dressed in white appeared in front of me. He had a huge white beard. So he put his right hand on my head and magically i had many incredible visions that i could not believe. The old man then asked me to follow the visions that he has shown me, and told me that it was my future, and the choices that i take will change my life. The old man removed his hand from me and suddenly i got fainted and i fell to the ground. The next morning i woke up and i had a headache, i thought I was dreaming, but, it was quite true, because the visions i saw, shown that my father would return at the morning at ten o'clock AM and here he walks in the door of the house at 10 am exactly. i was shocked and i realized the importance of visions and words of the old man. The second vision was that i had to go to the house of my grandmother because according to the vision she will have a heart attack in thirteen minutes from now. So i ran as quickly as possible and i arrived in time to take her to the hospital before the crisis happened. I was too happy to have saved my grandmother. then the third vision, saying that i will make a crucial choice, i have to save my mother from an accident that will happen on the road of home but this choice is followed by a sacrifice, that is my life, because; if i decide to save my mother i will lose my life. I thought very well and I figured out that i have absolutely to save my mother. So i ran to the road and I finally found the car of my mother, and said to her to change the direction and to return to her work. when I've saved her, I waited a while that my life will torn from me, when suddenly the old man appeared and told me that i made the right choice to save my mother and that he will let me live my life . I was too happy and I returned to the house to meet my family.
ReplyDeleteVery creative writing! I liked it a lot. Remember you focus on capitalization!
DeleteLast night I was sleeping deeply when heard someone knocking in my bedroom door. I went to open the door it was a strange man telling me to join him to a strange place something that I see only on movies. This man was saying that he is from the future and he can prove it, things that let me join him that he said he has information about helping my father from injustice that will save my life and their life. I was marveled by this place. He told me a true story about father and insist to visit one of my father best friend to prove that this futuristic man is right. Few minutes later I heard someone knocking it was the morning and my mum came to wake me up. It was only a dream but I narrate to my mum my dream, and she was shocked .After having breakfast, we visited the friend of my father and my mum explain to him what happen to me and he narrate the same story .Also he accept to go with us and tell the truth to the police. To conclude, truth is one of the best thing that can help your life or life of your family forever, so don’t be shy to tell the truth
ReplyDeleteGood moral to your story!
DeletePlease enter. Oh God, I’m so excited. I’ve always dreamed to travel in spacetime but it’s impossible. Well, it was impossible until now! Please tell me more. I want to know everything. But first prove me that you’re from the future. No, no, no. Gosh, everything is muddled in my head. First, the most important things. I’ve never see you in my entire life so who told you about me ? Where did you get this information that will save my life ? And how do you know that this information will save my life ? Sorry if I seems confused or a little crazy, it’s just that I’m totally lost.
ReplyDeleteVery odd response, Noor. Not quite on topic, but good writing.
DeleteAs I know, if someone knocks on my door, telling me he came from the future, I will not take it seriously, especially if there is no proof. I’m not a person who believes on this things, like someone coming from the future or from space.
ReplyDeleteSo,my answer will be about that, although I will probably enjoy this moment, because I will think he’s a crazy man who wants to play some jokes with me. But, out of curiosity, and to know how is his imagination, I will ask him a lot of questions. Starting with how he came from the future and with what gear ? After that, how the world looks like in this time ? Also I’ll be very interested to know about technology, how phones and computers have become. And of course, what are the informations that could save my life ? Finally, I'll asked the man to come into my house so he can answer all this questions. He'll stay there talking for about twenty minutes while I'll laugh about this story.
I would also want to know about technology in the future! Good work.
DeleteIt was a Friday night and for the first time I’ve decided to stay at home. It was late and I was about to sleep when a knock at the door catches me off-guard. Upon answering it, I was greeted by a man who came into my house and sat whithout being invited. I was really shocked by this behavior. I asked him who he is and why is he here, and his answer was more shoking than his behavior. This man pretend that he is from the future and he had informations that could save my life. Was this a joke ? I didn’t know. I didn’t believe a word of what this man was saying but I was curious to know what kind of imformations it was. Something in this man was familiar to me. I sarted asking him questions about how he came from the future and why should I trust him. This is when it becames more weird. This man knew everything about my life since the day I was born, every single detail. He man was about to tell me my future when I stopped him. I’ve told him that I don’t want to know it enven if it could save me because I have faith in god and I have faith in the desteny he has chosen for us.
ReplyDeleteVery creepy story. Good writing.
DeleteLazy Sundays, hot chocolate cup, a movie projection on a rainy day, is the perfect match. Weakly concentrated on the movie, and warmly wrapped around my bed sheets, my eyes started to shut but I tried to fight it back knowing that the movie is close to its ending. Hours later, I woke up to the sound of knocking. But it wasn't a knock on my door; it was on my computer screen. I realized that I fell asleep, and did not watch the end. However, let us go back to what really woke me up-a knock. I hardly recognized the source of that sound, as almost all the doors were open, and my computer was off. I turned my computer on. As I adjusted myself in my bed, a message showed up on the screen saying: “Your Back from the Future reporter will appear in few seconds, please wait.” How weird is this wake up message? Later on, a futuristic mini me appeared, dressed in an unprecedented way.
ReplyDeleteMini me: “Good morning your majesty, I hope I didn’t wake you up.”
Me: “Your majesty? What is going on here?”
Mini me: “I just came back minutes ago; I wanted to give you the complete report as soon as possible your majesty.”
Me: “Came back from where? I think you mistook me with someone else.”
Mini me: “No this is the right address, and you’re the right person.”
Me: “Explain to me, please.”
Mini me: “ I am a futuristic version of you, I was sent to see what will happen to you in 2025, I just came back and I know everything about your future life and future self.”
Me:” Okay let me tell you that this is the craziest thing that could ever happen to me.”
Mini me: “I see that you hardly believe me, so let me tell you more about it. We are in 2014; in two years, air will no longer be on Earth, which is why I am wearing an astronaut suit that is equipped with a sufficient tank of oxygen for the next 30 years. In 2018, a similar catastrophe to the Big Bang will occur, as a result the world will come together as one as it was before. A new law will be established, and its aim is to submit all the countries under the power of one person- a queen. By the end of 2019, you are going to be named as the Queen, that unique person that will rule the world. Due to the pollution problem, flying cars will become the only mean of transport. As education is becoming difficult and most teenagers give up on their studies, you will ban schooling and instead, there will be pills that contains the courses you need to take depending on your age. Once swallowed, the information will be forever stuck in your brain. Next, dreams will be recorded inside everyone’s pillow, so whenever people want to revive them or watch them again, they will just have to put their heads on their pillow. Lastly, supermarkets and clothing stores will close in 2022 because you will make everything possible to be downloaded from the Internet, just by clicking on it.”
Me: “I am speechless, really. Will I be able to handle it all by myself? How will this happen?”
Mini me: “Trust me, you are doing an amazing job your majesty. You are the most powerful woman that has ever ruled the world. The proof is, World War III will not occur, or at least not for the next forty years. Water problems will be solved, the world will know peace, and religion conflicts will end, discrimination also.”
Me: “Thank you for all these informations. I now have a clear idea of what my future will look like even though I still can get over it yet.”
Mini me: “You’re welcome your majesty. I am under your command, anytime. Enjoy your actual life
Excellent work. Great details and I really like your dialogue.

ReplyDeleteI like your story, Salim. It is creative. But please be careful of proper capitalization and punctuation.
DeleteYesterday, i have had the most strange experience in my life, actually it's very weird and you may not believe me but it was real. I was sitting in my living room waiting for the football game to begin when i heard someone knocking at my door. I thought it was my friends who came to see the game with me but when i opened the door, i was very surprised. It was a man, well i guess, i've never seen this person before. I was going to ask him who is he but soon as i opened my mouth he told me that i may think that he is crazy because he is coming from the future. I take a moment of reflexion then i start laughing at him. He knew i would have this reaction so he stayed calm and told me that he can prove it to me, so i agreed. I was living in front of a bank and he told me that a hold up will happen in exactly two minutes, and it happens. But such as i am a very suspicious i told him that it was a trap and he may be with the bank robbers and that he has to give me another proof. He smiled then point his finger on an old women who was walking next to the bank and sayed : 'This women will die in exactly one minute due to a heart attack. After one minute she passed away. I was shocked! How could this happen ? Is he really coming from the future ? Suddenly he told me that i am in danger and that i should leave my house immediately. My fear amplified, i was totally confused and i didn't have enough time to think about it so i trust my instinct and left immediately, then after EXACTLY 4 minutes the house took fire. I was terrified i looked for the man everywhere to ask him what will happen after that but he had disappeared. That was real it wasn't a dream or something, This night have literally changed my life..
ReplyDeleteThat is a very cool story. I like your descriptions a lot. Keep up the good work!
