I didn’t know exactly where the train was headed. After paying my fare, I simply stood on the platform waiting for it to Wisk me away to an unknown place. That’s when it happened, the train stopped, through me on and off we went. They had a nice train with people who gave me whatever I wanted. I fell asleep after stuffing my face with all sorts of food. I woke up in the clouds, we were flying! We were so high that the buildings looked like baseballs. I closed my eyes out of fear, and woke up in a building full of baseball stuff, I skipped over to one of the baseballs on the ground and picked it up, it was mushy and soft. I soon found out that it was candy; the whole building was candy, sweets, and junk food. After eating almost everything, I heard a screaming shortly after I saw a bright light, and I found out that it was an officers flashlight, I was bight a young lady on the leg, I never woke up from my first nap.

Future Me

Dear J.D. In seven years from now I see myself playing baseball for the University of Arkansas. Getting a scholarship for a sport is not easy, but my focus for the next five years of my life is getting that scholarship. After I get the scholarship, my focus is to make it to MLB. I fear the day I through my arm out. I don’t want my arm to go limp during a game or even practice. Hopefully one day my arm will be my money maker, I cannot let my arm go out. I see myself getting married. I want my job to be an MLB player. My favorite college is the University of Arkansas.

Sincerely,

Future self
