The Long Sleep

One day you are humming peacefully laying on your bed. You find that it is so unusually quiet that you start to feel drowsy. You soon fall asleep.

Soon afterwards you wake up. That's funny, you think. You don't remember your room having wallpaper. You get up and walk into the kitchen. You are surprised to find that an old lady is in it, slowly sipping a cup of coffee. "Oh, how are you dear?" the old lady says. Hmm, you think. Who is this lady? And why is she in my house? "Who are you?" you ask. Your voice comes out in a dry, raspy tone. "Why, I am your wife. Are you feeling alright?" she lifted he hand to your forehead. "Don't touch me," you object. "I'm feeling great... Where is my mom?" "Your mom? Why, youe mom is long gone, honey. She is lieing in a coffin as we speak," she answered. "You may visit her if you like,"

Sudden you burst into tears. "Why, whats wrong?"

"I'm not a seventy year old man. My mother is alive. My back does't hurt. I do't have wallpaper in my room!" You sobbed. Everything was different after you had a nap. Why did you have to take that stupid nap? You stop suddenly. "What year is this?" "Are you sure you aren't feeling hot?" Your supposed wife asks you. "I said what year is this?" You desparetly ask again. "Why, it's two-thousand-seventy. Everyone one should know that," Anyone who hasn't traveled in time, you think bitterly. "And what city and state are we in?" You ask suspiciously. "What is a city and state?" "You don't know what they are?" "No, i don't," "Can I see a map, please?" "Sure," she hands you the map.

As you read the map, you grasp the situation more easily. You have not been doing time traveling. You have been WORLD traveling. You carefully look at all of the mentioned words on the map, which are much gibberish like tcyi and uocnryt. Then you can slowly decode. tcyi, if you move the y to the end, makes "tciy." Then, if you move the t to the left of the y, you will get "city." Uocnryt was also coded. It was country. As you hold the map, you begin to realize.....
