The Giant Hand
I was lying on the floor in my living room one day when something invisible picked me up.
It held on to me and pulled me out the window.
I hovered a metre or so above the ground while my wife asked me what I was doing.
I couldn't really answer.
Soon after I started to float upwards, up to the sky.
As I slowly drifted away my wife told me to come back, come back this instant. But I couldn't you see...something was taking me away.
So I waved goodbye.
Very soon I was way above the house and I could see all of the neighbourhood. The supermarket is a lot closer to the house than I thought it was...I should just walk there instead of taking the car.
Despite the winter weather I felt warm so I was starting to enjoy my weird flight.
I went higher and higher. I could now see the whole city, sure looks different up high.
I kept on floating upwards, higher and higher, quite comfortable and feeling good.
After a while I lost sight of my house, which is a pity.
Now I could see from coast to coast...gee.
At one point a jet flew past. I wonder if anyone saw me!
Before long I could see most of the country.
And I just continued to float up.
Soon I could see the whole planet, yet I could still breathe...which is a good thing.
After even more time I was drifting through space, quite well protected and even refreshments were provided somehow.
I realised I was heading towards the moon, what an opportunity!
It was an awfully long way though so I took a few naps on the way.
The 'giant hand' as I named it, placed me on the moon surface and quite able to breathe and move, I went walkabouts. It was great!
I managed to find the spot where Buzz and Neil set foot all those years ago. Not much to see though, just a bunch of footprints and a flag.
I spent a while on the moon just looking around and staring back at Earth.
After a day or so the giant hand returned and slowly, gently returned me to Earth. On the way it passed me over the Easter Islands where I saw the Moai...it seemed to be trying to tell me something there but I never figured it out. Great to see them though, always wanted to.
So eventually it returned me home and placed me back in my living room.
My wife didn't believe my story, she thought she had dreamed my upward ascent so I didn't bother to convince her otherwise.
So have yourselves a nice one ay!
