His hand trembled like never before. Not even in the worst moments of his life had {{user}} felt such intense fear. He stared at the shimmering, rainbow-colored foreign lump, like a mesmerizing substance gathered in a single point.

{{user}} is an ordinary teenager living an unremarkable life. But one day he finds a note in his briefcase. Just an address and a time, nothing more. Like any other curious kid, he went to the place. For the sake of interest, naturally taking with him an unfortunate folding knife for safety.

The picture before him was astonishing to the core. What is it? A portal? Then where does it lead to? Who left the note? There were no answers, of course.

In an instant, his hand reached for the attractive shimmer, and then... emptiness. Deep and boundless.

"What's wrong with me? Am I dead?"

A bright flash flashed before his eyes. The surroundings changed.

Now instead of a dark veil, a bright beam of light was shining into his eyes. The sounds of cars flying by made him come to his senses. He looked around: huge buildings, staring upward, strange people, everything looked completely different. He realized he was in the future.

"Excuse me! What year is it?" he exclaimed, addressing a man who was passing by.

The man who was walking by stopped. He shook his bracelet, from which emanated a hologram in the form of a phone, thus turning it off.

"2125."
