What an exciting adventure! Well, it was exciting during the parts that I recall. Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who and Mrs. Which dropped us off on the hill above the main city of Camozotz and that is where the abnormality began. First, unsure of what to do, Meg, Calvin and I sauntered down the street. We all found something odd about this place and then we realized that the entire street was in synchronicity! A young boy, around my own age, was the only one out of rhythm. When all the other children went inside, he did not and continued to play, causing his mother to come out of the house to forcefully pull him inside making him drop the ball he was playing with. It might have been because of curiosity or simply because I felt for the boy, but I picked up that ball and brought it to the door. The mother opened the door and looked exasperated as her young child reached out and accepted the ball from my hands. As we kept walking, we entered the CENTRAL Central Intelligence Center and came about a man with burning red eyes. I felt like I had seen him before, perhaps in a dream or in a mirage. Anyhow, I was sure he had paid me a visit in the past. His eyes bored into my skull and I instructed Meg and Calvin to not look him straight in the eyes or they would fall under his spell. Meg was frightened, I could just tell by her grip on my hand. This man knew where Father was. I could feel it, but he wouldn’t tell us. He was somehow communicating with me telepathically and forcing his control upon my brain. Fortunately, I was able to hold it off. It felt like my brain was being pressed up against my skull. Finally, I realized I must do as he said and look into his eyes in order to find out where Father was and that was when I blacked out. I awoke a few seconds later with an excruciating headache as I regained my vision and saw Meg lying there beside me, a frantic look in her eyes. I had to explain to her to let me be hypnotized as I would then be able to find Father. Here, I blacked out again. All I remember is flashbacks of a transparent column, seeing Father and a brain with a strong force that needs extreme power in order to resist. My first full memory was running towards Meg in this lit up dome, a buzzing in my ears as she kept telling me she loved me. The next thing I know, I am standing in someone’s garden—our own garden—hugging Meg with all my might. There standing before me is Father! The Father I barely remember! The Father who has not been a part of my life for years! Mother and the twins ran out from the house and we all hugged! Then, Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who and Mrs. Which appeared and disappeared just like that. I haven’t seen them since. This entire ordeal has all been worth it because we now have Father back!

I arrived at this place and immediately my head started to pound because it felt as if everything was in sync with each other balls bouncing at the EXACT same time. It was the worst experience. Oh this place is so wonderful i cant believe i said anything wrong about. Nevermind i was posest when i said that

The three W's have left us here on this planet. It's very weird... all the people are following the same rhythm. Except for this one boy that we saw, he broke the rhythm. We walked up to his house and tried to speak to his mother, but she would not cooperate and she just closed the door on us. We decided to keep walking down the long road that all of the houses were on until we came to a building called the CENTRAL Central Intelligence Center where we met a man (or so we think it is a man) who had glowing red eyes. He said that if we looked into them, we could find out where our father had gone. I decided to take the risk of looking into the eyes, because I knew that we HAD to find out where father was. After that everything went black. My next memories was of Meg hugging me near IT, who had died from feeling love. I fully met my father, and Meg, Father, Calvin and I all headed back to Earth.

What a remarkably fascinating journey I've been on! I visited Uriel, camaztoz and Orion's Belt all by the technology called tessering. I feel horrible that I caused so much pain to my dearest sister and father. I should have known better than to go into IT and expect to come back out. While I was under the control of IT I couldn't feel, do or say anything. No matter how hard I tried I was incapable of doing anything. It was like my brain was tuned out and I had a whole new programmed brain placed in. I hate IT and I can't believe that my very first visit with my father was with me In a state that wasn't really me.
I wish I could go back in time and stop myself from ever going into IT. I made a huge mistake and I'm grateful to Meg for saving me. I can't fuss over this any longer. My mistake was made and it is now fixed. My family is reunited and everything is the way it should be.
