THE BED
Imagine what would be like if you are living in same time and space with the person you like. Or admire. Or the person you want to meet.
My name is Jane, and I'm living in N.Y.C. Today is 2017/1/5. And this date is about to change.
I'm in my room reading a book about Larry Page. After I read it all I suddenly want to meet him person. He is so smart and handsome(?)
While I was thinking about this dumb stuff, my mom call me for dinner. Typical.
But this typical life change. The next day I'm kind of late for school but I can't find my shirt. I don't know where I put it.
So I looked under the bed. I never look for that place. But I'm kind of in hurry right then.
When I saw my shirt and fill with joy I find my shirt, there is some other thing in there too. It's like a door. I never knew of this door. So I thought it will be like secret passage and go to my school.
But you know what? I'm kept thinking about that door. I've live in this house like 3 years, how can't I know it?
So after I came home I ran to my room. When I open that door, really strong wind blow up. Surprise, I close it again.
When I look at in more with interest I saw a paper. It's like manual. It says like this.
You have a person you want to meet? If you have one say it right now. In front of the door.
If you say that and open the door, you could meet the person you want. Correction. You and that person will be the same age. You have to talk what age you want to be. That person will be that age too.
And take a note and pencil with you. You have to write your world's date and the date your traveling to.
If you lost that note or didn't write it. You can't be in the real world again.
Some of you think this is crazy. But I believe it right away.
So I take my note and pencil and said to the door "I WANT TO MEET LARRY PAGE! AND I'LL MEET HIM WHEN HE WAS 26 YEARS OLD"
And You know what? Amazingly it really open and I fell into there. I like this feelings.
I'm really in Stanford University.
2017.1.5 / 1999.1.1 : I decide to write real world's date in front. And magic world(?) (I don't know what to call it) behind.
But it's kind of disconcerted to land me in this place. Stanford University? I have no idea what should I do right now.
I thought maybe I'm a student here. And my thought is correct. This mean Larry knows me.
So I step to the computer lab. I know he would be there, and talk to him. "I love you so much Larry!"
OMG.. I forgot he is the same student with me. And he's already married. Wait a second. His now 26. I read that he marry in 2007. So maybe that is a good thing I say like that. I mean if I'm the girl he want.
"Jessica? What are you talking about?" Larry said. I like his voice. And Jessica when did my name become Jessica.
"First of all my name is not Jessica. I'm Jane. You might get confuse, since the first word is both J, but it doesn't mean the name change" I said really fast.
"Stop talking and help me with this thing." He said with lovely smile in his face.
"Where is Sergey? You two are working together right?" I asked. I'm kind of uncomfortable with him but I try my best.
"Sergey said he need some rest so I'm doing all the work. Where have you been?'
"What are you talking about. I never get involve in your searching site."
"That this mean your letting it go? Your kind of weird Jessica. You and I and Sergey make a site. Don't you remember?"
"I think I remember." I lie. A big one. "So what could I help you with?" I asked him. Sitting into a chair next to him.
I can't believe I'm sitting next to Google CEO!
"You know what? I think we would success. I'm sure of it." I smile at him. He smile back at me.
2017 1.6 /1999.1.2: Me again. I like being with Larry and Sergey. And the amazing thing is that I know all about computer.
Even though I like spending time with the two boy, I'm so sleepy in the class. I guess that's because I spend all my night working about new searching site. But I could handle this all. If I could be with Larry.
Some of you might ask me if you don't miss your family. My answer is N-O. I would live a special life than a typical life with a family. I'm enjoying my life.
If I stay in this world, I could be the CEO of Google. Thinking about that future, I work hard.
And you know what? Now I think Larry is my friend. Not like a person I read in the book. And I much like it that way.
Sergey is real genius in math. I think three of us is doing a great teamwork.
I know Google's future. And now I know how Google success. They kept working like crazy.
I don't know how long l'll be in here. But I guess I'll stay here for a long long time.
And this secret door is so good for me.
