I suddenly fell on the ground. I couldn’t remember anything. Around me all I could see was a city in ruins. Roofs were falling, people covered in blood asked for help and not knowing why I felt attracted to a blue light that came from the ceiling of the tallest skyscraper you could ever imagine.

I was searching for scratches or wounds on my body, when I suddenly saw a tattoo on my forearm. At that moment I visualized myself at my lab. On the table there were papers of a portal and drawn in a big wall something that seemed like a big blue stone.

A man was talking to me. He was explaining that I had only a week to complete my mission. I had to find the blue stone that kept our planet alive. If in one week I wasn’t successfully back home, I would have to stay forever on that planet and my Earth would die.

N 40º 42’ 46.021” O 74º 0’ 21.388” that’s what was written on my arm. I didn’t know what to do, where I was or how I got there, so I followed the only clue I had, the only thing that had come with me from my planet. Those numbers, a location.

I took a closer look at what was written on my arm and the image of the World Trade Center in New York immediately popped in my mind. I had no idea how that happened and what that could mean, but my intuition told me to go there. But how?

I looked around. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything that would be a help. Out of nowhere I heard a voice. I looked around again. I could swear there was nobody there, still I was hearing the voice. I kind of liked that voice, it was calm and soft. I followed the voice as if in a trance. I walked God knows where when the voice stopped.

There was a helicopter in front of me. I got on and took off. I had served in the army for twelve years and I was pretty sure how to pilot a chopper.

I was in the air for four hours. Everything was fine until... Beep! Beep! Beep! That noise wouldn't stop. It was getting faster and faster. I didn't know where it was coming from or what exactly was making it. All of a sudden it crossed my mind - it was a BOMB!

The next thing I knew was that I found myself in water. What a lucky escape! The good news was that I could see the shore, so I started swimming towards it. When I finally reached the land, I was so exhausted that I felt I was dying. However, I couldn't afford to fail as I had to save Earth. I had no choice but to stand and move on!

I looked up and the first thing I noticed was the famous skyscraper 'World Trade Center'. I knew I had to go there. It seemed quite close, so I thought it would be easy to reach it. Well, it wasn't! I walked for TWO DAYS! I was starving, I could eat a mountain of pizza, but saving the world was a much more pressing issue than having a meal. I continued my way.

When I got in front of the building I couldn't be happier. There was a human! Or at least he looked like one. I was about to say something, but he started: 'In order to save Earth you must go onto the top of the building, but careful, watch out for traps!'

I didn't make out what that meant, I had to get into the tower no matter what. Hardly had I entered the building when I saw a load of rubbish. To my surprise I spotted a gun in that dump! Even though it wasn't a really big deal, I still had a weapon on me.
