One day somewhere in a town near you, there lived a 9 year old boy named Max whos imagination was rather more wilder than other boys his age. His best friend was an imaginary Tyrannosaurus rex named Trevor.
One day Maxs class from school took a field trip to the local Museum. The Museum was full of all kinds of stuff from medieval knight armor, to Ancient Roman pots. Max was getting bored of all the broken stuff behind the glass.
This museum isnt fun at all, where are all the dinosaurs? said Max grumpily
All of a sudden a large Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton was coming up along with other dinosaur skeletons including a Triceratops, and a Stegosaurus.
But while falling behind the rest of the class, staring at the bones, Max saw a strange looking cloaked man walking around the corner.
Who was that? Max said to Trevor
I dont know lets follow him replied Trevor
Max and Trevor wandered off away from the rest of his class and followed the strange man. They kept following him until they wandered far from Maxs class mates in the World History section and thats where it caught his eye. It was a large wax statue of a large old man sitting at desk writing with a feather. Max looked down at the information slab and it said
Nostradamus: a famous man whos many predictions have brought wonders to the world: dont believe your eyes But as he read he wondered.
Dont believe your eyes? Max said questioning

erhaps this isnt real? said Trevor
Max wondered and he took a few steps forward, to Maxs surprise he went right through the exhibit.
Inside they saw something that they never thought theyd find in a museum. They were inside a large underground cave filled with large shiny gems, and crystals.
Whoa! shouted them both
they walked farther into the cave. It was lit by the blue glow of the gems and crystals. Max saw a few small ones on the ground and picked them up to look at.
Theyre... cold? Max said
He stuffed them into his pocket
as they continued down a long, long hallway of many different things. They saw what looked like a glowing red orb inside one of the large crystals. They walked a little ways more and saw The Moon. And Dinosaurs right up until the Ice Age.
Max where are you??!! Max heard people yelling.
They walked a little farther and saw stone columns from Greece, Egypt, and other cultures. The more they walked; they realized that all they saw was a timeline of the earths history.
Max where are you??!! Max heard it again.
I think theyre looking for us Max. I knew we shouldnt have wondered off alone! Said Trevor.
Then next the Civil war in America with Abraham Lincoln. But all of a sudden out of the wall emerged the cloaked man a very large man with a moon for a head. Dressed in a long red cloak that when he spread his arms the lining appeared to be the universe. He stood over Max and Trevor.
Hello Max he said.
He
. Hello. Max said nervously
What brings you here?
I was bored and wanted to explore said Max What is this place?
This is my home, Ive lived here watching over this world since its birth as I have done for the others he said.
The three of them continued to walk. The man told Max that he has seen other worlds like this one and hes watched over them all until its time was up. Max was confused but continued to listen, but then he saw something that caught his eye.
Whats that? Max said pointing to the weird little man.
Oh him hes an alien to your world the man replied
An alien? Max said
Yes... normally I wouldnt do this... But I helped your world become more advanced he said.
More advanced? Max questioned
Yes, you see I enjoy watching worlds grow and frankly yours was too slow for me so I helped it along he said.
But I dont understand asked max.
Ah.. Well your planet took his technology and made it into T.V.s and Cameras, and other eletronical devises. Said the man
They continued to walk looking at more recent events, World War ll and the fall of the Berlin wall.
Then Max and Trevor saw space ships, space stations, and all matter of futuristic things and then, nothing. Nothing on earth at all, just empty cities and forests. Its as if people left Earth completely.
Then Max saw a faint glow at the end of the cave that was different than the normal glow of the crystals. Max and Trevor both ran towards the glow that they now saw was red.
They could still hear lots of people yelling his name.
They got closer and saw that it was a door. The glow was coming from behind it. The door had no doorknob.
Whats this? Max asked
This is the end max Said the man.
Max! Max where are you?!.
Max I think thats your teacher calling
Well wait whats behind the door?
I cant say, for not even I know what it is but it mustnt be opened now, it must be open at the right time
MAX! Where are you??!!!
Here this will lead you back to where you came he said pointing at a little crawlway.
Max and Trevor both crawled through as fast as they could. They finally made it back out. They were in the middle of the hallway.
Were back Trevor Max said looking back to Trevor.
But Trevor wasnt there, just the wall. Max looked around calling Trevor but he wasnt around.
Max there you are! Dont ever wonder off alone like that again where have you been?! Ive been calling you for ten minutes Maxs teacher yelled at him.
Im sorry Mrs. Watson. But there were these cool statues and pictures and this awesome cave that I walked down. And the man with the moon head showed me how he helped our world advance. It was awesome!! Max said excitedly.
Max, stop making things up. The point is that you wandered off and you were not supposed to. But thank goodness youre safe. The teacher made it a point to tell the museums guards about the strange man that Max talked about
.just in case.
Max rejoined the class and was quiet the rest of the trip thinking at what he saw. The trip was now over and they were heading back to the buses. Max looked back and saw the cloaked man standing in a window waving. Max sat down, staring back at the man.
That was weird wasnt it? said a voice
Max looked over his shoulder and saw Trevor sitting next to him.
Trevor whered you go?
For years to come, the door at the end of the cave will be all Max can think of, still wondering what was behind it. Every now and then Max goes back to the museum but the exhibit has been moved. Guess Max will still be wondering what was behind the door. All he can do now is use his imagination.
The End.
