The Vator - chapter 1

Posted in The Vator

 

  

 

Once upon a time

There was a 10 year old boy named Jim. He was a son of the Ackerson’s. The Ackerson’s were very poor people who lived in the west section of the city which is where all the poor people live. The city I’m talking about is a very prosperous city except the west end of course. Its name is a very funny name. It is called lykel.

Jim once was out on a walk (in a forest near the city) when he stumbled upon a strange object. It was a big box, as big as a dresser. Jim could probably fit in it. It was made out of metal and was pretty smooth except for a small door at one end. Looking at the door he noticed that the object was on a very shallow cone shaped stool. When he leaned on the box it spun very slowly because of Jim’s weight. He had fallen off but now got back up. He decided to look inside the Vator. (Jim called it that because he thought it should have a name) The door was very easy to open all he had to do was flip a latch then swing the door up by its hinges. Jim stepped in. He had to bend over a little but once inside Jim knew it was made for children like himself. He couldn’t stand completely up but he could lie down on a bed inside the Vator.

As he looked around he saw that this was not just a box, inside were all kinds of buttons, switches, knobs, and lever’s. Also there was a screen that was black. Jim wanted to find out what people put on the screen so he looked around to see if he could find an on button for the screen. He found one but it was on the other side of the Vator. He pushed it………nothing happened, he thought it might need power so he got up to go and get his dad’s car battery but then he saw an outlet. Nothing was in it but right below it was a cord. He picked up the cord then pushed it in the outlet; he was so excited that he had trouble doing this. Once the cord was in Jim went over to the on button then pushed it. This time it worked. Lights turned on, buttons lit up, but one thing happened that made he wish he didn’t come. The door to the Vator shut tight.

Jim banged and screamed but he couldn’t get the door open. Finally he decided he should just calm down and rest. He lay back on the bed then tried to breathe deeply He was thinking about how to get out when he noticed that the screen was on. He got up and looked at it. What surprised Jim was that the screen showed what cars show (only in digital form). It showed the gas amount, it showed how fast he was going, which was none, how much gravity is there which is strange because it was on earth and didn’t need to add gravity! There was one other thing that boggled Jim’s mind; it showed how far it is to its destination which was 8,000,000 light years away!! He thought that was weird because no other man made machine had been able to go that far away, where ever it was.

 Jim leaned back. His mind was spinning with all the questions. When Jim leaned back he accidentally raised a lever! Then some more lights turned on and a voice said “power is all the way, prepare the system.” Jim thought that he shouldn’t do anything to cause the Vator to run but then the voice said “turn on gas one and five immediately.” Jim didn’t want the machine to blow up with him in it so he turned around and found two buttons flashing red, they said gas one; gas five. He pushed them. Then the voice said “turn on spiral” Jim looked around the Vator and found another lever with a spiral symbol on it. He pushed it up, then the voice said “buckle up and prepare for launch in ten seconds……ten……nine……eight” Jim pounced on the bed lay down and buckled himself in there were three straps one for his legs one for his waist and one for his chest. “Five……four……three…” Jim held his breath but that was a mistake! “Two……one ……activate!!”
