"We must leave at once!" yelled one voice. "It has been set, we must trust in the boy to make the plan work, we cannot wait any longer!" There is nothing but flames and collapsed pillars in this room. All of a sudden you hear the chilling words that have scared you since childhood. "EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!" Please save us boy, save us all!" "AAAAHHHHHHH!"
"NO!" Suddenly Vinnie wakes up from his nightmare. He breathes heavily as a pool of sweat starts to form on his bed. Its the third time this week that he has had this horrific dream. He thinks to himself what does it mean? Why does he keep having this nightmare? " I need a drink." Vinnie gets out of bed, and heads downstairs to his kitchen. As he drinks a cup of water, he looks outside his window and looks to the stars. " I wish I could be up there, among the stars. Human beings cant just be confined to one planet. Surely there is more for us to achieve right? I don't know. But what I do know is that there's more for me than the life I am living now."
Vinnie starts to reflect on all of the hardships in his life. His dad walking out on him and his mum when he was three. Moving from country to country, never really getting the chance to settle until recently. After finally settling in Backshire England and making a friend, he lost him to Cancer. A lot of difficult periods for a 17 year old. And yet, despite all of this he never lost faith. He never stopped feeling like he had a much bigger purpose to the universe. He just didn't know what yet.
Vinnie has one more glance at the stars and goes back to bed.
"Vinnie, its time to get up." "Vinnie?" "VINNIE! GET UP RIGHT NOW BEFORE I DRAG YOU OUT OF BED!" Vinnie awakens with his heart thumping. His mum was one terrifying lady! He gets up and starts to get ready for college. Vinnie is a History student. At college they just started studies on the myth of a race of people who could time travel. A subject Vinnie loved. He was also looking forward to seeing his newfound friend Derek. And he was even more excited to see her. Stacy. His first crush. As he makes his way downstairs, his mum shouts, " AND HOWS MY 18 YEAR OLD BOY DOING TODAY!?" Thats right! Vinnie totally forgot today was his birthday! Although it didn't matter to him to much. You see, his mum is a devote Jehovah's Witness, so although it was his birthday, it was not going to be celebrated. Today was just any other day. Or so he thought.
As he starts to walk to college, he feels a tugging in his head. Like something was calling out to him, but he didn't understand what or who. He comes to a crossroad. Normally, he goes left. But this time, his body starts directing him to the right. He keeps on walking until the tugging feeling stops. Before he knows it he is on a cul-de-sac with old Victorian houses on either side. Vinnie starts to hear a noise. "woooosh... wooosh...wooosh..." "What the hell is that? He slowly starts to walk down the road, trying to find the source of the sound. As he walks, he hears the sound start to get louder. He turns to his right and see`s a is covered in moss. The windows are covered in dirt, implying to Vinnie that this house was abandoned a long time ago. It has the Number 4c etched on the side of the building. As he looks across, he see`s stairs leading down to a basement. He walks to the house and looks down the stair well and see`s nothing but black. But that sound. "woooooooosh... woooooosh...woooooooosh." It starts to get louder and louder. " What is that? The house seems empty, maybe I should go down and look. Find the source of this sound."
" I feel scared, and at the same time relived. But I don't know why." " I need to get down there and see whats going on." Vinnie begins his slow descent down.
Drip...drop...drip...drop.
The slow drop of water leaking from the rusty old drain pipe above Vinnies heads is in perfect rhythm with his slow creeping feet. His heart is beating like a drum. All the while the sound keeps going. "woooooosh...wooooosh...wooooooooosh." In what felt like an eternity, Vinnie finally reaches the bottom.
He see`s a gate placed in front of him. Behind the gate he see`s something, but cannot make out what it is. He walks to the gate and opens it. He walks towards the source of the noise and reaches out for it. Suddenly, the noise stops. This causes Vinnie to jump back in fear. "Why has it stopped all of a sudden? What is it?"
"This is no time to be a coward, I must be brave. I need some light to see whats making that noise." At this point Vinnie gets his phone out and begins to turn on the flashlight app. He slowly lifts his phone up, and is surprised to see whats in front of him.
Its a phone Booth. Its black with the windows tinted, and writing on the top of the booth saying is in perfect condition, and looks like it was painted over recently. Suddenly, the booth door creeps open, and a bright white light emerges from it. Vinnie opens the door and Cannot believe what he see`s next.
A room. A BIG room. ENORMOUS even! Its a beige colored room, with circular holes scattered across the walls. In front of him is what appears to be a console, with 3 screens at the top of it, and at the bottom lots and lots AND LOTS of buttons. And then in the center, a white light, beaming up and down in a crystal cylinder casing.. "What is this place? And why does it feel so familiar?" Suddenly Vinnie looks down at the buttons and see`s one button in particular flashing at him. "Should I press it? I feel like I should. But what if I do something stupid?" Vinnie begins to get frustrated with himself. " You know what? I'm in a phone booth with buttons and much more space then my bedroom, I might as well take a leap of faith!" So Vinnie decides to press the button. All of a sudden the lights go out in the phone booth. "Dang, I made the wrong choice! How am I supp-"
All of a sudden the screens above him start flickering. A Man appears on the screen. He`s black, wearing a satchel with a sword over his back, no hair, and a countless amount of scratches on his face. His lip was bleeding, and he looked as if he was utterly drained. Vinnie can clearly see fire and broken pillars behind this unusual man, and he starts to panic. "My dream... Its just like my dream!"
"I know you must have many questions but please I haven't got a lot of time so you must listen carefully to me."
"I`m The Editor, a Timelord from Gallifrey, and you are another version of me."
"The universe is in danger, and you are the only person who can save it."
