I found something quite interesting. It was early morning, and I was up and all ready to go to school. But when I was pouring cereal in my bowl, I noticed something from the window. A hovercraft. I decided to go and get a closer look at it. Yep, it was a hovercraft alright. It had everything you would sort of expect from it: practically nothing. All I did was step on it, and probably light-stomped it a few times, and it started to levitate. I guess Newton's law of gravity doesn't affect this bad boy. It's almost like I left Earth's atmosphere in a rocket ship. Anyway, after this thing started to float upwards, I somehow gained total control of it. I decided to use this to my advantage and rode all the way to school with it.
I've got to say, controlling a hovercraft was a whole heck ton of a lot harder then it looked in the movies. It's a little hard to explain. But after what seemed like 2 hours of flying around the town, I finally reached the school, and I was getting the hang of the whole flying mechanic by that time so you know what I did? Rode it in the school. I figured why not because finally someone gets to see the odds and evens I always go through. The bell rung and students were walking and walking around the hallway like you wouldn't believe. I tried getting their attention, but they didn't hear me because they were too far from where I was. So I tried to fly a little closer, and even though I was getting the hang of it outside, it was even HARDER to fly it inside. I kept accidentally bumping myself into the walls and the ceiling, and for whatever reason, I kept getting knocked back when I'm bumping into things each time. So instead of going towards the students, I actually ended up AWAY from them. When the bell rung again, I gave up.
I flew to my house and tried to get my family to see the hovercraft. Again, they were too far to hear what I was saying. It was hard, but I got through the conveniently open doorway, it took me about an hour to do so, but I eventually did it, and as soon as I did, the hovercraft broke down. I think the batteries died or something. I would replace the batteries, but they died when I was pretty close to the ceiling. So the hovercraft fell and hit the floor, and when I tried to turn it back on... nothing. It's off and there's nothing you could do about it. It is just simply broken. I told the rest of my family that I found a hovercraft, but when they came over to find out what the heck I'm talking about, it was GONE! So after being called, "insane" and, "just simply crazy" and, "quite creative" I heard a little noise sounding like fireworks nearby. I looked out the window, and saw the hovercraft flying everywhere in every direction possible until eventually exploding. I guess the batteries started working again somehow, but why after I stepped off it and before my family showed up? Talk about timing.
