Joshua's story is so imaginative and cleverly written. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Mission Air Travel

I felt great, I had just won a million dollars in a lotto!!! What I was going to use it on was uncertain but I was sure it was going to change my life. But when I opened my bedroom door something was wrong, there was a little letter on my bed. It didn’t say who it was from, or where it came from. It just said ‘open with caution’ so I did. It was a good thing too because at that moment a little glass shade fell out. But it was no ordinary shade, it had writing on it. It said ‘Greetings I am Professor Morrison.  My job is at a laboratory. We have lots of cool gadgets that are up for sale. We wondered if you would like to drop in and see if you wanted anything. The location is George Avenue, Brodie, America.’

I looked up as soon as I read the letter ‘s’ for sale. I was totally in it. I told my mum and she agreed, so we set off to find the laboratory.

As soon as Mum parked the car a tiny tin was thrown in the car by an electronic hand. When the tin landed though, green smoke filled the car. Mum tried to open the windows and drive away, but there was a paperclip in the window button and she couldn’t drive away because a knife on the road popped her tyres. A couple of seconds later Mum and I fainted. When I awoke I found my hands and legs were cuffed. Mum was nowhere to be seen.

Just then a strange laugh filled the room, ‘Haha, hello there, Jack. I am Professor Morrison. I see you accepted our invitation to come to our little laboratory.’

‘You know my name?’

‘Of course I do.’

‘Where have you taken Mum?’ I shouted.

‘Your mum has forgotten everything,’ laughed the evil professor.

‘But why did you bring me here I ask!’

‘Your money of course. We don’t have enough to buy the secret ingredient for our new gadget.’

I looked around, there seemed to be no gadget here.

‘Where is it?’ I said.

‘I thought you’d never ask, laughed the madman as he pressed a button. A large gasp of wind filled my mouth as a huge balloon slowly came into view.

‘Meet the air balloon. The first air traveller.’

I was so shocked that I nearly missed an escape route- a robotic rat. I got its attention when Prof. Morrison wasn’t looking. It chewed through the cuffs At last I was free!!! I snuck around the strange machines, treading ever so lightly, towards to cackling scientist. Then suddenly, I pounced, pushing the screaming professor against a computer. Just then the police arrived and said, ’We’ve got you now, Professor.’

Professor Morrison was arrested. They fired every scientist so that business collapsed. And as for me, I got to own the balloon by buying the secret ingredient the professor was forced to tell me! Since I live near the beach I love to fly over the ocean.

But the best memory is when my brother and Dad flew it over Big Rock Beach and everyone was happy. And that my friends, is something money cannot buy.
