| Terry yawned. This wasn't the first time he had woken up early. But his flight wasn't until five hours from now and he needed to prepare. Learning to fly had been a challenge and he wasn't giving up. He had a few successful attempts and wanted to make a good impression. All of the circuits had been memorized and he felt well prepared for it. The plan was in tip top shape as he liked to call it. The flight was going to be a short flight but still an important one. This trip was about delivering a special suitcase to Mr. Fox. The big TV man made special arrangements to pick it up personally from the plane at a specific time. He couldn't be late either. Getting dressed and eating his breakfast, he noticed something was off. The winds were unfavorable. Yet his flight was still to happen. He gulped. He never flew in unfavorable conditions before. Still, he wanted to make a good impression. He took care of everything in the house and then left to check in. Three hours to go. The drive was a good hour and it would take an hour to get things ready for take off there. He needed the time. When he got there he found a commercial flight was delayed to take off at the time he was suppose to take off. Frustrated, he waited. He was going to be late. The time came for him to take off. The plane went as it was suppose to and the lift off went smoothly. The air around him was turbulent though and he thought of going back. No, he had to press forward. He had to make a good impression to Mr. Fox. He flew through the air until he was almost there. Then a bird got caught in the engine of one wing and caused that engine to falter. Almost there he told himself. He had to make an emergency landing though. Down he went and he managed to make it onto the landing platform where his destination was. Still he was going a tad too fast. Quickly he slowed the plane down as much as it would allow him and then made a stop short of his destination. His engine smoked where the bird went in and he moaned. Now he was without a plane for a while. He needed a new engine. All his hard work! But then he heard he got promoted for his bravery to face the danger and was granted a new plane to fly. Word Count: 429 Activity: "The Bradbury"  |
