What would happen if you cut an electrical cord?


"Damn!" said Anded as he crashed the boat into the jetty, breaking it in half.
" What are you doing young man, I told you to be very careful?" Said Anded's dad as he came out of the boat shed.
"Sorry." Anded said. "I'll fix it." And with that he walked back home.
' Where is the electric saw?' thought Anded.
He searched through the pile of ruble and found it at the bottom of the pile.
He walked over to the broken boat and inspected the damage.
He then plugged the electric saw in and flicked the switch, and the chain saw started
And he began to cut the pieces of wood up into strips. He could hear nothing, so you would not be very surprised to hear that Anded jumped up in surprise, dropping the chainsaw onto the electric cord, cutting it, sending him into another world, when his father came in.
His father immediately ran inside and called the police, little did he know that his son was somewhere unreachable, somewhere only Anded himself could come in and out of as Anded, was the one who cut the electrical cord.

Anded woke in the dim light. He realized it was evening, almost night. He stood up, he was standing on a smooth metal surface.
He disided it would be best to moev forward but as he took a step, he relized that he could not. He pulled with all his might, but it was no use.
He sat sown once more and checked the time. His family would be worried and he didn’t want to be away for too long. He swicthed one his watch seeing that the time was 2:37. He stood up once more and tried to move forward.
He found, suprisinly thaat he could and at that moment, the entire land that he was in lit-up, but it stoppeed as soon as it came and the light flickered on and off as he walked.
Anded, from the flashes he saw, noticed that he was in a type of city, but this one was very unlike the city back home. When it wasn’t lit-up, you could not see anying thing.
Anded continued walking down the long, metal road. He paused when he heard a soft sizzling, but then moved forward. The sizzling became louder and louder.
Whoosh!
Sqeeeeeeeeeeek!
A the bike came to a halt beside him.
The man on the bike appeared only as a shadow.
The figure beckoned to Anded, who obayed.
Anded was tired,and so he went to sleep.
And when he woke................
