I was about to choke on what I saw. I uttered "clear search." The search field was cleared. I again repeated "Current location please ?" and then uttered "Search " The results remained the same.

Universe: Free Fall

Planet : Zon

Place : Roinglos

Danger Alert : Viscous beasts around the surroundings.

I was flabbergasted. "Where the hell am I ? How did I get here ? Shit shit shit .Forget the place I am not even my universe- "Milky way" . And how does this person have a regular earthly name - Ethan ?? Now it became crystal clear to me as to why everything was out of place. I was in a panic mode and started sobbing hysterically. "Mom, mom, mom . I so wish she could here me right now. I must have been considered to be dead on earth. Will I ever be able to get back? Oh god help me"

Out of desperation I tried doing telepathy to my mom, although I just couldn't concentrate. I just heard a murmur which died down within few seconds. I started freaking out. If I were in milk way but in a different star system I could have still made the connection through telepathy. But this was a completely different universe. There seem to be some kind of barrier and the communication wouldn't go through. And it seemed like I was loosing hope by the minute.

As my sobbing continued I again said "clear search" and uttered "Details on universe Milky Way and earth please " and uttered "Search"

The below results flashed on screen

Universe: Milky Way

Planet: Earth

Distance from Free fall to Milky Way : Approximately 2000 light years away

Free fall considered parallel to Milky Way

I couldn't accept that this was happening to me . Were the dark forces so advanced that they pushed me here ? How else could I have come so far to an unknown universe? Is Ethan part of dark forces? Why else has he held me captive? Do the dark forces have their base here. I could not stop my sobs. I was panicking and scared at the same time. I could not handle the shock. I just wanted to end everything and wanted to get back home.

I quickly said "Clear search" and then uttered " Ways of multiverse travel" and then said "Search"

The screen quickly flashed the below results

With current advancement of space travel machine existing on Roingloss - Distance travelled reduced to 1800 light years. That's only 200 light years less. I will be dead in another few hundred years.

The greatest scientists on our mother planet were able to mutate the genome sequence of our species enabling an average person to live only upto 500 years and a person with more powers than an average person upto 1000 years. A rarely gifted person upto 1500 years. And I fell into average category.

Let alone traveling I would be dead by the time I get access to this space travel machine. I just wondered if Ethan was capable of trying to get his hands on this machine for me to even try travelling in it.

As my hopes seemed to dim. I planned to keep Ethan as a last resort to seek help from. I wanted to get out of this place on my own even if i had to die at the clutches of the ferocious beasts. I was very upset with Ethan . But I could not show my frustrations to him until I had a solid escape plan. You never know when I may need his help although I had started loathing him.

I started wracking my brain to recall any fictional movies which I had watched with my friends or the novels I had read while on earth. Although people on earth felt it was all fantasy and fictional, I did not want to let any single opportunity slip by. If I had to get to this place at such fast speed there had to be other ways. How else did I get here ?

I started to recall all the movies related to space travel , intra dimensional movies , novels I read and trying to think of something unusual in those movies or stories. I also had read somewhere that when you are under a life threatening attack you either fight or you flight. And sometimes during such flights the soul just wants to live and not die.

In extremely rare conditions the soul just gets teleported to a parallel universe for the purpose of survival. You literally vanish. I had also read about a woman who claimed to be from parallel universe .So there had to be a faster way out other than the time travel machine

While I was in deep concentration this particular word stuck to my head. "Wormhole". I thought of giving search for this word on the tab again. I quickly searched for wormhole in tab and the below description flashed on the screen.

(Authors note: Please note I don't own the below definition. Courtesy Wikipedia)

"Wormholes are structures that connect two points in spacetime which allows travel in time as well as in space . A wormhole could connect extremely long distances such as a billion light years or more, different universes or different points in time"

That's it. I quickly wiped my tears. I had to find the wormhole. I was not bothered about the route through which I had come here. I was more interested to find out how to get back.

I knew i had to do a quick math and get few facts right to get all the puzzle pieces together . I knew I was bad in math but I thought I could rely on this tab if made any mistakes during calculations. Again I knew that if I made one mistake everything could go wrong. I had to be extremely careful.

I also had to get certain information out of Ethan which were few of the puzzle pieces. Again I could not store any such data collected in this tab for the reason that if anytime I planned my journey this tab was not handy to be carried around and also I don't know if any of my activities on the tab is being tracked or monitored.

" Oh god ! " suddenly it hit me that I was doing search on tab to find the details on how to escape all this while. Till the time I was searching for where I was , it was ok. But I also searched for wormhole. If Ethan has a way to know what I was searching , i may be in trouble. I'll have to find ways to cover my path.Before even starting to look around for other details I should have checked for the usage instructions of the tab. I seemed to have made a blunder.

I had to clear the search history and any other traces before Ethan could find out. I quickly went back to the search window , cleared the existing search criteria and uttered , "Webopedia instructions " . The search refused to give any results. "Oh damn why does it have to fail me now?"

I felt time was running out. I had calculated an interval of 6 hours for Ethans next visit. I had slept for 3.5 hours and I did not know how the time had flown and I was not aware how much time had passed after I started exploring the device and searching for universe and wormhole. It was risky to turn on the mobile now to check for time. I roughly estimated that I may have like 30 mins or may be even less than that to spare before Ethans visit.

I started getting nervous. I had to erase the search history before Ethan came. Was my luck so terrible? In my mind I was frantically praying , that all the searches performed by me so far should not be discovered . My mind was blank. I quickly cleared the search again and uttered "Webopedia user instructions" and behold the instructions flashed just in time for Ethan to open the door. Forget clearing history on the tab I was not even given a chance to look into the instructions.

"God save me" .

I started fidgeting my fingers.I saw Ethan closing the door behind him and saw me sitting on the cot with tab in hand. He gave me a quick grin . My eyes were swollen as I had been crying. I tried to put up a fake smile hoping he would not notice my eyes. Even if he noticed I had to come up with convincing answer.

But right now I was really worried what if he were to get to know my search results. From his grin I got a notion that he may not have checked anything till now. I was just hoping things to go my way. I just tried to calm myself and tried to look as normal as possible just to avoid raising any suspicion.
