QUESTION: write a story using the following beginning line.
:it seemed like, it was just going to turn out to be a boring day, when suddenly...

It seemed like, it was just going to turn out to be a boring day, when suddenly I heard a knock at my door. I was surprised as I was not expecting any guest on a Tuesday at 2.00am. So as I was cautiously walking towards the door the knocking stopped. I stood beside the door thinking on whether I should open my bedroom door or not. Having no sleep in three days I'm not surprise if the therapist or psychiatrist tells me that i have start hallucinating.

As I was thinking back since when have I became an insomniac, whoever that was on the other side if the door knocked again. This time it startled me. I decided that I should just open the door cause I remembered quite well that I have locked all the door downstairs before I came up to my bedroom. I opened the door and found an old man smiling at me. i cant help but smile back. He looked so familiar as if I've seen him somewhere before but I just don't know where.

Just when I was about to ask him who he was, he spoke to me in Chinese "Are you having trouble sleeping again?" I was surprise as other than my closest friend and siblings I had told no one about my sleeping problems. I cant help but answer with a yes and smiled back. The weird thing was I felt that my body no longer belongs to me, because the usual sane me would have never dare to open the door and when found that an old man standing in front of my bedroom door step i would freak out and yet here I am standing and smiling to this old man as if he was supposed to be here.

The old man asked again "Do you want me to bring you somewhere to take your mind off things?" My brain was screaming no but when I opened my mouth, the answer was a yes, he smiled then suddenly I felt so light. In a split second I was in the air, feeling as if i was born to fly, I flew with this stranger. He brought me to see fireworks, Eiffel tower and coliseum. As in the ones from Greek mythology. i thought I was dreaming, then as if these had just been a dream I came back to my bedroom. this time my head felt heavy and I realised that I am still flying. As I look at my bed, I was surprised to see myself there, on the bed and in that instant i blacked out.

Waking up the next day at 11am I realise I just had an out-of-body experience. the surprising thing was, I felt that I had to find out who that man was. I looked through photo albums and called my parents and siblings telling them the description of the old man but everyone said they do not know anyone with that description. Finally, I gave up with the thought that he was probably an angel sent to take care of me.

This memory stayed with me for about a year when suddenly it was that day of the year when we, Chinese have to go to the cemetery to pay respects to our ancestors. I bent down while trying to weed and when i looked forward I came face to face with my grandfather's picture and the memory of my out-of-body experience came rushing through me as if it just happened yesterday and it was then that i realise that, the old man that I find so familiar is my grandfather who had passed away before I was even born, which is to say from the out-of-body experience, that was my first and probably the last and only time that I spoke to him.
