Being from 1774 and Waking up in 2006
My name is Bill Williams and this is the first time that I’ve written in a journal about my day however, today was a particularly interesting day and I wanted to document it. I was born in 1734 and today it was supposed to be 1774. When I was a young man I moved to the colonies and lived in Boston. My family was considered to be upper class. As I grew up my father was a part of the community. So, when I was old enough, I started to put my opinion to use. It wasn’t until 1770, when the Boston Massacre took place that we started to have some serious problems. The lower class Bostonians didn’t agree with how demonstrations were taken place. The lower class wanted to riot and fight. They didn’t believe in peaceful demonstrations like us upper class Bostonians. This was causing great problems with our colony. The upper class was trying to figure out a way to make this entire stop. So, yesterday, I was in a meeting with the Sons of Liberty to discuss that matters at hand. We had out meeting and then I went home to my family. I’m sure you’re wondering what the purpose of this journal entry is. The puzzling thing about it all is that I woke up this morning and I wasn’t at home.
I woke up to find myself lying in a huge bed with lots of blankets and pillows. I looked to my left to see a clock with numbers on it and no hands, just numbers. The numbers changed every minute. At this point I didn’t know what to think. I got out of bed to see this black box with a screen that was playing a picture video of some sort. I thought I was going crazy; maybe I was dreaming. I splashed my face with water to try to wake myself up but nothing happened. I had to get out of this house. I left to find people in carriers with wheels and they were moving without horses. I finally found a newspaper with the date on it. It was November 7, 2006.
