The Final DimensionBy Kevin Lu
Zack wiped his brow. All the perspiration comes off and just
floats. Floats! Zack iscompletely alone. He is just floating in
space, seeing not anyones face. Just hours ago, he wasarguing and
arguing and arguing. Now, he just wants to go home. Hours go on end
with no traceof anybody or any sound at all. Stars illuminate the
sky, but there is nothing to see. Soon Zack slips into a nightly
day-dream.
You will study and do better this time! cried Zacks dad. Failing
is unacceptable!
No I will not study, retorted Zack. Today is Saturday and I just
want to play some basketball.
You cannot play basketball!
Yes I will!
No you will not, and I will never allow it! yelled his dad.
Zack, at this, just stalks off and then sprints to his room
angrily. He closed the door with a loud BANG! He flung himself
onthe bed and thought how unfair it was not to have a mother to
protect him. His mother had diedten years ago, when Zack was just
five. He though his mother would ve help defend him fromeveryone
scolding him or yelling him which included his dad and his
teachers.
He then cries I just want people to know what Im thinking, but
only I know. I want to
be alone!!!
Zack woke up suddenly from a loud screech! He tries to propel
him towards the sound inhope of seeing someone, but he instead,
pushes himself the other way. He then kicks his legsaround,
striving to get to the sound, but cannot push himself the right
way. He keeps on kickingfor a few minutes and finally figures out
how to push himself the right way. He keeps on goinguntil he
reaches the maker of the sound. He doesnt see anything making the
sound, but he sees adoor of white light. He goes towards it
curiously and suddenly gets sucked in!
Oh no! Where am I now! thought Zack. He then realizes that it
was his house. He wasonly happy for a moment though, because when
he raised his hands to jump for joy, he sees thathis hands are
clear and wispy. He was suddenly pushed right after the realization
by apressurizing invisible force. He went out the door, down the
road, and into his best friend, Benshouse. He continued to be
propelled until he is in Ben! Zack gets dazed for a while, but
realizesthat hes okay. He also realizes that he can hear Bens thou
ghts. Not all of them, though just thethoughts about him. He hears
I sure hope Zack is okay. Hell get yelled at by his dad
again.Everything would be much better if hell just study. The last
thought surprised Zack, but he

continues to listen. No more thoughts come and he was again,
pushed by the invisible force. Hewent through many roads and made
many turns. Neighborhoods passed in a blur until he was in ahouse
he didnt recognize. The resident was recognized, though, it was his
teacher, Mr. Smith.He goes into the body of his teacher and hears
his thoughts towards him.
Zack got a D again , if he doesnt pick up the pace, hell get an
F. Hes a bright kid, buthe never uses his smartness. He is still a
good kid, though. Zack was surprised at this b ecausehe always
thought Mr. Smith hated him. He didnt have much time to give this
much morethought because he shot forward again, but this time, to
his house.
Zack went into his dad for the final dimension and immediately
heard Wheres Zack?He must b e here somewhere. Hes not in his room,
not in the kitchen, not in the living room, nor the office. Oh no!
I better to look for him outside. Maybe Ive been too harsh on him,
but any Dor F is unacceptable. He has to come back, though. Oh
no!
Zack heard this and teared up immediately. She had a black robe
full of holes and rippedon the left arm.
She said I was the one who granted your wish to be alone. Now,
you realized how big amistake that was. Do you wish to return to
your normal life?
Yes, a nswers Zack excitedly. The old lady sprays dust of
different colors, making apicture of his house, all around and he
blacks out.
When Zack wakes up, he finds himself in a local park abd his dad
walking towards him,calling his name.
Zack I, sorry I ye lled at you, but-
No no no, its my fault, I will study for my test now, cuts in
Zack.
Really? Oh, I mean good, replies his dad, surprised. They go
home and study together.
On Monday, Zack took his test. He later found out that he score
one hundred percent.Zack continued to do well and ended up with an
A at the end of the semester. Things werelooking up, but he never
told anyone his experience is space. Right before he left, he took
a goodlook around and felt that the area was actually really
peaceful and quiet Zack felt that thatshould
never be disturbed.
