An Unplanned Journey
#WritcoStoryPrompt47
Write a story based on this famous excerpt from Revival by Stephen King:

He unlocked a door and led me through an office that was empty of furniture, although I could still see square clean patches on the grimy linoleum, where the legs of a desk had once stood. On the wall was a curling calendar with April 1989 showing.
1989! How was it possible to be 1989. The last thing I remembered was that it was January 20, 1973. Richard Nixon was starting his second term as President of the United States of America. I remember kneeling and hearing glass break. Now I'm where?
Pain! I was brought back to my current situation by a sharp pain in my ribs. "Where are the pictures?", I heard , coming from the masked man before me. "Don't make me ask you again!". Darkness, sweet darkness!
I awoke in a familiar place. I had some how went to another time and place. I could feel cold air coming in through a broken window, behind me. I started to inspect the damage. I suddenly felt darkness coming down on me once again.
What is happening?
