Through the Wormhole
|18X FEATURED · WORKING ON OFFLINE| Daniel Matton wasn't ready for an adventure, not until 3023 sent him into space on a journey to prehistoric times. The prehistoric animals test his patience, but Dan must endure all the pain and suffering to return home safely. *** Seventeen-year-old Daniel Matton, still grieving after his mother's death five years ago, is given the adventure of a lifetime when he's selected as the Star of 3023's PPMC Project for a journey through a black hole, wormhole, and white hole to prehistoric times. Now, does Dan want to be the Star? Heck no, but he has loved paleontology ever since a bittersweet memory with his mom twelve years earlier. Programmed to resemble Dan's mother's personality, PPMC vows to keep him safe on his journey, but it's difficult when the stubborn teen constantly gets in trouble, not just with himself but also prehistoric anomalies: volcanic eruptions, eight-foot-long millipedes, terrifying saber-toothed cats, and above all... disaster. Now nearly trapped in time, Dan and PPMC must work together to escape the geologic time scale before Dan's love for paleontology and the mighty Quetzalcoatlus prevent him from learning how to truly trust PPMC and "let go" of the burden that's weighed him down for five years. A teen, a starship, and Becca... Have you ever wanted to see where life first began? *** *First Draft Written: 8th grade* *The story behind the award-winning short story, Messummer!* *Includes slow-burn world-building and epic adventure in prehistoric times!*
A New Kind of Jurassic World | Author's Note
Welcome, everyone, to Through the Wormhole, a coming-of-age science fiction story that I first wrote in 8th grade! Welcome, and get ready for a journey to prehistoric times with Daniel Matton, one of my oldest protagonists, next to Tracey in Claxton.
When I first learned about geologic time in 8th grade, I was so fascinated that I lost track of how many times I re-read that chapter, which, of course, led to me acing the midterm.
Through the Wormhole's basic idea sprouted after school one day. I told my best friend I wanted to write a story about geologic time, so we went to the science lab together and started researching it. During that moment, my friend discovered black holes, wormholes, and white holes and shared her discoveries with me. With almost no hesitation, I decided on a geologic time-based time travel story about a boy who traveled through a black hole, wormhole, and white hole. Twas, Through the Wormhole was born.
This book was re-written in 10th grade, alongside Metamorphosis/Claxton, because I learned that the geologic history was far from accurate in the earlier draft. Alongside three years' worth of geologic research, I have been steadily working on Through the Wormhole over the years. This led to my 2022 Ambys Award win with Messummer, the original, original draft, and the 2023 Ambys and Nano Watt win with Infrared (it was slightly inspired by Through the Wormhole).
Before jumping into the story, I should warn you guys that Through the Wormhole, like Claxton, contains slow world-building because geologic history is vast. I had to create the futuristic world as well as the prehistoric one. It's also not hard science fiction (I don't know Jack about other scientific fields). The best way to describe this story is science-fantasy, with a touch of paranormal, like Infrared, and I intend to keep it that way. My story, my world, my rules.
Finally—and this is important—Through the Wormhole is not meant to mess with anybody's religious beliefs. It's just a science fiction adventure story with a twist, one I have been working on for years. As most of my stories are, it's plot and character-driven.
With that said, it's time to travel through the wormhole with Daniel Matton and PPMC! I'll see you guys in the real Jurassic World.
