The world is a strange place to live.Many
of us create our own worlds out of our imagination.Some are sweeter than
fiction and some are not.So here we are with a story named into the unknown
which is story of Phil.Well Phil is a common man just like us and he faces the
same situation.
So the story goes like this,Phil while
working in the office feels very bored.He was bored of the monotonous life
which he lives.The same sort of work everyday,from home to office and back.He
always used to think of that place which is grandfather told in stories like
‘The Paradise City’.As the name suggests it was a place where anything could
happen.A place of possibilities,peace and satisfaction.A place where you have
time to observe the world around you.Phil was very much fascinated about the
place.He had gone to that place many times in his dream.In his stories grandfather
always used an address 23,Old street Passage,Link road.The paradise city where
Phil lives.There was a balcony and a garden where he sits observing the people
cross during sunset.Phil always tried to imagine the beauty of place..While
Phil was lost in his world clock struck 5 and it was time to leave the
office.He quickly packed his bag and went to the railway station to catch his
train 15th Newville.While crossing tunnel 13 level 2 which he
crosses everyday.He surprisingly saw level 2.He headed towards it and enterd a
platform which was entirely different from others.There was dim yellow
light.The benches were made up of wood.The shops were selling goods which are
harldy present in todays market.The people were wearing clothers which were
outdated.The place that Phil was observing seems to be lost in time.He was not
able to understand what was happening.He goes to a shop and buys a newspaper.He
was shocked to see that the date was 24th October 1864.He asked the
shopkeeper which year was going on.The shopkeeper looked at him strangely and
replied 1864 sir.By now Phil was out of his senses.Meanwhile he observed a map
of routes of trains.His eyes got struck to a name ‘The Paradise City’.Phil
could not believe his eyes.He goes to a ticket counter to buy a ticket to the
paradise city.He took the ticket and asked about the price.The man replied “two
cents,sir”.Phil screamed “what?only two cents”.All the people looked at
him.Then he controlled himself and gave two cents and went inside the
train.Although,all weird things were happening this day but still Phil was very
happy as he was going to the place of his dreams.He was excited as well as
amazed.
By the time he reached to his destination
he hurried himself to search that address.While searching he observes all the
things exactly it was in his grandfathers stories.All things were the same as
his grandfather described. He went to the balcony and observed the
garden,people crossing and the sun set.He had never felt like this before.It
was so peaceful,so calm and pleasant that he had no word to describe it.He then
whispered “I wished Stew and Zack were here too”.Something now stroked in his
mind.He came running out of the house.His excitement was then turned into fear
of loosing his family.As soon as he reached home his daughter him where he
was.He told Stew about the things he observed.She` eagerly listened to all his
narration and said “wish we could be there too”.
Next day he met Dr. Doug.He was his his
friend and a psychiatrist .He told him everything.Doug was a very practical
person and he thinks that there is an explanation to everything.He said “this
is not the first time you told me about the city.It is in your mind.You
experienced it as you keep thinking about it.
20 days pssed.Jacob never found level 3
again.He tells Stew “we must never stop searching something no matter how many
times we fail.something is there that will surprise you one day or the other.
