I Finally Get that Laptop I Wished For
Percy
“AHHH!!” I yelled at the top of my lungs. I was being dragged into Tar-- Teritus by Kro-- Saturn. And yes, I do know that Saturn is dead.
All right, back to my doom. As I said, I was falling into an endless pit of darkness. As you know, I was trying to resist him... by holding to handfuls of gravel, hoping that gravity would do its work. To my surprise, gravity was not the supreme force of the universe. Guess what happened next? I fell into the death pit.
When I was falling down, I felt like Alice in Wonderland. A bunch of random stuff was falling past me and bonking me on the head, like a flying pig. (Yes! I’ll finally get that laptop!)
Finally, I landed on my bed in the Roman camp. For no apparent reason, I walked to my door and opened it. Somehow, it magically turned into a window. There was also a broomstick flying in front of it. Wait, a flying broomstick? My mom must be really mad at me. Anyways, I leaned forward and fell onto the broomstick. Then, I woke up, tangled in my bedsheets. I squirmed out of my covers. Once I got out, I looked down. No wonder it took forever to get out of my sheets.
I was wearing a traveling jacket and jeans, and new Nike sneakers that I never knew existed.
I self-consciously patted my head and realized that I was wearing a baseball cap.
I frowned, seeing the Mets logo. I took a Sharpie and crossed it out.
To my surprise, the Mets logo disappeared, and the baseball cap turned into a regular cap.
I took a step forward and fell flat on my face.I had tripped on something bulky. It turned out to be a backpack. Inside, there was all the stuff I needed for a long trip.
I picked it up, and slung it over my shoulder.
Remembering my dream, I walked towards my window, and as I expected, there was a flying broomstick, waving for me. I silently jumped on it, and the broomstick lifted me into the air, and flew into the dark night.
