Paul played with the tablet when he noticed something weird.
A door had opened, inviting him through the Screen.
As he progressed, his heart pounding, the little boy started falling
falling
falling
falling
Floating ?
He was suddenly floating in space, facing a bright orange star. He stared in awe and took a photo.
After a moment, Paul saw a comet passing by that nicely proposed to give him a ride.
"Jump on my back", the comet said and together they dashed through space until they reach the closest planet.
Paul dived and bounced into the clouds, until he finally touched the ground.
Standing from the highest peak of the most colorful mount, he could see down the hill a boat getting ready to set sails.
The boy approached the captain and asked her how to go home.
"You have to follow the Northern lights until dawn", she answered while inviting him on board
For a few days, the ship sailed peacefully when suddenly a storm broke out. The thunder strucked and the boat exploded.
Propelled into the sky, the poor boy flew and flew several miles away until he landed on a glacier.
The boy was alone and terrified when he noticed, he could see the auroras. They were radiant and formed a path that lead directly above the sky.
Following the Captain's advice, Paul began to walk
and walk
and walk
and walk
And he woke up home, his tablet on his knees.
After all his adventures, Paul could not believe everything he lived was just a dream.
In one movement he reach out for his camera. When he found the orange bright star and all he could think was : "How to go back ?"
