Alec's Dream

by Dave Birchbauer

  Ten months later

  “Get your foot out of my face!” Sofie whispered angrily.

  “That's not my foot” Jessie grunted back.

  “Then what's in my face?”

  It was dark inside the storage bench they were hiding in. “Suck it up, only a couple more minutes before we take off.” Jessie whispered.

  The bench was in the back cabin of the ALEC’S DREAM, the world’s first anti-gravity powered spaceship. The ship was located in a beautifully designed hander built in the corn field across from GraviTych. Here they converted Big Sky’s ship into a fully functional spaceship. It was also here that Jessie and Sofie could be found hiding in the back cabin of the ALEC’S DREAM, as it was being prepped for take-off.

  “I thought we were supposed to be taking off?” complained Sofie. Her back ached from having been crammed in the storage bench for hours. She sniffed, snorted, coughed, then finally wrinkled her nose then said “What smells!”

  Jessie couldn't stop giggling “Sorry.”
