found herself in the museum standing in front of a glass-framed news article about a girl who looked so similar
to…… Willow! Isabella kept on reading the article with the report that almost nobody in the bombed area in
Shanghai survived, except for Willow and her family, who were in Beijing! ‘……A girl named Isabella told me
what was about to happen and we escaped! Thank you so much, Isabella, and I hope you survived. I won’t forget
you!’ ‘This is such a miracle ……’ Isabella whispered as her eyes filled with tears of happiness and was so relieved
that Willow was alright!
The next day, Isabella wrote a letter to Willow.
Dear Willow,
I cannot believe that our adventure just ended yesterday. It feels like I haven’t seen you for ages already. I miss you
a lot! Please say hello to your family for me, and thank them for their hospitality. I know this might not happen
again, but I hope to see you soon. Please never, ever forget me! I hope that there will not be any wars from now
on, as they take away the lives of many people. Then everyone can live in peace without fear of losing their
families and friends!
Love,
Isabella
After she wrote the last word, Isabella sighed. Willow would never get her letter as letters did not time-travel.
Suddenly, a breeze blew into Isabella’s room, lifting the letter into mid-air. Isabella had a vision that Willow was
reading her letter! A few moments later, the vision faded. Isabella stood there, stunned, but then laughed. Who
knows? Maybe letters could time-travel, and maybe everyone could too!
