Time travel

Taylor was a 17-year-old high school student.She was quite good in most subjects at school and was interested in everything.
Right next to her school was a forest that Taylor had heard a lot of stories about,and she really wanted to go for a walk.But her parents have strictly forbidden it,and even asked her classmate,who is their neighbour,to walk her home every day.
But to Toylor’s delight,her classmate didn’t come to school today.She asked to be dismissed shortly before the end of the class and headed for the forest.She walked for a while,she didn’t see the end of the forest,and it became more and more interesting and she kept walking.

Taylor felt a bit lost, but she followed the chirping of birds. She just thought that somehow she would get somewhere. Suddenly she was standing in front of a huge and massive tree with a big hole in it which looked like an entrance. Taylor was a reckless personality, without even thinking she climbed into the tree. The chirping of birds stopped, not a single sound could be heard in the hollow tree cave and Taylor has never felt so calm before. It was all happening so quickly when unexpectedly the ground on which the adventurous girl was standing disappeared and Taylor fell into the infinite depth. After a while she woke up on a soft underground and the only thing she remembered was that she felt cozy all the time, absolutely no pain or anxiety while falling.

 The only question she asked herself was where did she end up? The desperate girl looked around, it was sunny, pretty hot and Taylor realized that she was no longer in the forest, but on a beautiful meadow of bright flowers, somehow familiar to her, but different at the same time. She set out to explore, not thinking about home. Taylor saw some people that wore clothes that reminded her of her parents` youth. She passed multiple buildings that seemed so familiar until she was sure that she was in her home town, but everything seemed so old-fashioned. Did she end up in the past?

Taylor began to ask herself this question, but she was skeptical that she did not believe in such things.. She decided to go home,  she reached there and knocked on the door. A 14-year-old child opened the door. He asked her who she was and she started talking about time travel also that she was his daughter. He laughed and closed the door in front of her. She got upset and sat on the bench in front of the house. Taylor stared at the house for about 13 years. Taylor stared at it and realized it was her mother. Taylor immediately asked her mother what date it was and what year it was. Her mother looked at her and answered her. The girl was startled by the thought of traveling through time. She ran again to the forest, but could not find the tree that had fallen to the ground and wept.

Suddenly many fireflies appeared and pointed her at the tree. She entered the tree. Everything fell silent and she woke up again on the lawn. Taylor ran to her house, knocked on the door, but no one opened it. She decided to go to her mother’s job. On the electric boards she noticed posters with her face explaining that she was missing for a long time. The girl got to work on her mother opened the door and her eyes watered.
