It was an exceptional day. Adrian had just finished his creation for the "For our Planet" contest. In fact, the goal was simple : we had to find an invention to improve living conditions on the planet.
The participants had all kinds of ideas, rather banal or already existing, such as the production of reusable bags, an application to promote carpooling... the idea was to create something original. And Adrian was finally done !
Adrian is a 17 year old high school student with brown hair, he likes to wear shirts and jeans. In reality, his style was rather simple but beneath his benevolent side hid an innovative face.
He had already managed to create a banana peeler for a science competition ! And this time, his invention was revolutionary... His idea was to find a way to counter the overcrowding and for that he had created a machine that shrinked humans to a size of about 1,20 pouces. He has been his own tester many times to test the machine and it works fine. He really hoped to win the contest with this great idea.
The entrance to his machine was about 55 pouces high and the rest went down as if it were a tunnel until it made a 1,57 pouces tube. His development was complex, Adrian had used several different components which he found easily on the web. And today, he had put the finishing touches ! His invention was finally ready ! He was sure she would be all the rage before the jury.
He could bring his machine at the end of the day, at the time scheduled for the presentation of inventions during the tournament. Before he had decided to call a friend of his to show him what he had just created. Adrian had never been so excited, he was anxious to see his friend's reaction to such a revolutionary invention.
After a few minutes, his friend finally arrived and it was Brandon. Adrian liked Brandon very much even if he was more of a lazy type, he didn't like science or studies.
"Hey, Brandon, I hope you're okay !" said Adrian.
- Yeah, I'm fine.
Adrian looking his friend's outfit: he was wearing a red sweatshirt, blue jeans and Nike SB Air Jordan shoes, you could even see that he was wearing white socks because his jeans didn't go down to the bottom.
- It's time I showed you my creation !
- That's great.
- Oh, do you really want to ?
-Hm, yes, he replied nonchalantly.
- Let's go, I put it in the garden ! It didn't fit in my room, ha ha.
- Come on.
Adrian took Brandon to the garden to show him his machine.
- Ta-daaa ! Here's the machine that will solve the problem of overcrowding !
- Oh, it's big. It's awesome as a thing. And what is it supposed to do ?
- It makes it possible to shrink the size of a human up to 1,57 pouces ! What gain a lot of space on our planet ! explains Adrian excited.
