My Trip Throught Time
My Georgia History Story
As I sat in my chair in my room, I was spinning and thinking about what I should write for my Georgia History Story. I kept spinning and spinning until I thought my head was going to explode. I was so dizzy that I fell out of my chair, but I realized that my carpet was gone! I sat up so fast that I gave myself a head rush on top of being dizzy from the chair spinning, I fell right back down onto the cold, rough, wood floor that I had never felt before. I lay there on the floor with my eyes tightly shut until the dizziness went away. When the dizziness went away I sat up, but so slowly, and with my eyes still tightly shut. I sat there for about five minuets with my eyes shut. Then I finally worked up the courage to open them, when I did open my eyes I saw that I was in one of those rooms you would see in a house if you went to an old historical site.
After about another five minuets of just sitting there looking around the room, I worked up some more nerve to standup. When I got up I started to walk very cautiously around the room. I wanted to try and figure out where I was. The first thing I noticed was the outfit I was wearing. Oh, my gosh! I looked like I just jumped out of my Georgia History Book. Ewwww!
Wait! What time period dressed in these terribly uncomfortable, ugly things? I thought for a minute or two and then realized that I had no clue. After thinking that I wanted to find my way out of this house so I could try to figure out where I was.
When I finally found my way out I started to look around at the scenery. The thing I noticed right away was that there were a ton of trees, tobacco fields, and everything was beautiful. It looked absolutely nothing like where I was from. The trees where still standing tall and beautiful. The sky was a shade of blue that I didn't know existed. There also was a little creek that was so clear and clean you could drink straight from it and not worry about getting sick the next day. Everything looked perfect. I stood still in amazement, and looked at how wonderful the land was.
My amazed staring was soon interrupted when a young man on a horse came whizzing by. My eyes followed him down the road to a little store looking place. He dismounted from the horse and took a little stack of papers out of his bag and gave them to a stout old man standing outside the store. The old man gave the young man some papers in return. As soon as they had exchanged papers they were both off. The young man mounted himself back on his horse and was gone in a flash. The old man started to hand out the papers to different people. It took me a minuet of thinking to figure out what I just saw happen, but I soon realized that it was the mail (at the time horseback ridding was the fastest way to get mail from on town to the next).
The next thing I noticed in this little town was the church. It was so cute! The church was the nicest looking building in the town. It was a bleach white color, with a bell at the top of it. I went up the steeps and to the door of the church to see if I could hear anything. When I reached the top of the steps I cracked the door the tiniest bit, and I hear the most wonderful
