An Immortal Weekend inside the Bermuda Triangle.

Before I take you all on my journey through my weekend at the Bermuda Triangle, I'd first like to thank @galenkp for the opportunity of being immortal for the weekend, my experience wouldn't have been possible without him 🤩.

On Friday noon, I figured I had become immortal and I was in awe of myself. Then, I thought; “what should I do with this once in a lifetime opportunity?“. And suddenly, the thought of diving into the deepest ocean came to mind. Jeez, how on earth did I think of that? That should've been the last thing on my mind because I don't even know how to swim... but who cares? I'm immortal, init? It's not like I could die soon.

Anyway, to make my experience even more thrilling, I decided to take a swim in the Atlantic Ocean and reach the Bermuda Triangle… you know, that “off-limits” region of the Atlantic Ocean that's known for it's mysticality. I've heard stories about a lot of airplanes and ships that mysteriously disappeared when it reached that region of the ocean.

And being the "curious cat" that I am, I couldn't help but immediately prepare myself for the trip. My goal was to defy odds and uncover the mystery. Of course, I brought my camera along with me.

Just imagine the views, likes and comments I would get if I posted the shots on YouTube? As much as it would stir up controversies, I would become a social media sensation if I came back alive with evidences.

Moving on, the ship captain thought I was crazy when I mentioned my destination and after several futile attempts to talk me out of it, I reached the ocean anyway. Although it took a long journey from Friday evening to Saturday morning, it was still worth it.

I made sure I had earlier filled up my stomach with food for the journey and underneath my clothes was my bikini, so I just removed my clothes and jumped into the Atlantic ocean. Was I scared? Hell yeah! The ocean was larger and warmer than I imagined but it was beautiful, blue and serene, excluding the noisy seagulls.

Swimming through the Atlantic Ocean was going well at the start until I started loosing balance, I began to drown and could no longer keep my head above water, but after series of struggles, swallowing salt water and coughing out, I finally gained control and continued swimming steadily.

As if the seagulls were leading the way, I kept swimming for ages in their direction until the point they began to retreat. Bingo! The Bermuda Triangle! Boy! I became frightened as I saw the massive twirling water which had now changed color to bluish green. “Okay, relax Dimma… you're immortal, let's just dive in and see what's in there”. I said whilst trying hard to swallow a lump that formed in my throat.

Then, I took a deep breath and dived into the water hole. I don't know what or how it happened but I felt like I had fallen through a portal that led to another space and time. All I remember was seeing colors and stars, it's unfathomable.

At last, I found myself in a dusty dry land when I woke up. Around me were heaps of wrecked ships, aircrafts and many lost inanimate objects (no sight of skeletons or skulls though). I quickly dug my hand into my bum bag to take out my camera which I almost forgot I had.

I wanted to quickly take photos of that sight but as my hands reached for my waist, there was no camera, neither was there a bum bag... It completely vanished, I wasn't sure when or how it happened. Perhaps it got lost when I was drowning at the Atlantic Ocean or perhaps it vanished while I was transporting over to the new world.

Well, in as much as I was pained, I still had a new world to explore, with or without my camera. So, I continued walking until I reached a valley, it was of pure green vegetation, the sky was bright and blue with fluffy white clouds.

Birds chirped in the trees while colourful butterflies fluttered around. And a long lake kept sparkling with the sun's reflection. For a second, I thought diamonds where inside it.

Still marveling at the mesmerizing sight of nature, a swarm of giggling little children dressed in white robes rushed me with hugs and immediately, I felt welcomed.

"Welcome to Bermuda Multiverse, come with me dear".
An old man dressed in white robe echoed as he appeared from nowhere. And like a hypnotized soul, I followed without query.

We walked into a small town, housing millions of people. It actually seemed like our normal world, except that one was more beautiful, flowery, peaceful and accommodating. I couldn't believe that those people were generations of the disappeared victims of the Bermuda Triangle. They had started a new life there as they couldn't return back.

I myself didn't want to return back because it was too good to be true. There was nothing like turmoil there. More intriguing, everything was free! I ate, drank and merried with the people to my heart's content.

Suddenly, I got nostalgic. I remembered my family and friends back home, I remembered that I was only supposed to be immortal for a weekend. And if I missed track of time, I would remain there permanently as a mortal soul. But I still wanted to stay a little more, the best part was about to get started; music and dancing under the full moonlight.

"Chidimma!... Chidimma!... Chidimma!". My Mom called out to me. But she clearly wasn't there, so how could I hear her voice? I hoped it wouldn't be what I was thinking...

"Come on, get up and prepare for church, look at the time". My Mom's voice echoed again.

Ladies and gentlemen, that was how I woke up to reality this Sunday morning 😪.

My immortal weekend was actually spent in my dreams 🙂.
