A NEW STORY
______________________________________________________-


Trapped at school!!!!


Alright so you decide how you can even make it to school.
Maybe the bus didn't arrive yet? If not maybe you could.
You look up at your windowsill which was easily a few hundred feet above.
You could climb up there somehow and go through a crack in the window and jump....
then walk to the bus stop.

Sounds like a plan! You don't think to much on it and climb up loose covers
and sheets that hung off the side of your bed. You dug your hands
into the fabric and climbed, it was a little tiring but soon you were on
top of your bed. No time to enjoy the sight or start feeling tired.
Just ahead was the windowsill which was still quite a long way up but there was a string hanging off the window blinds that you could climb up to the windowsill!
You walked to the string and climbed up, after a ten minute climb you jumped on to the
windowsill. You were a little far up the string then you expected when you
jumped down causing you to lose breath when you hit the ground.
You stood up and brushed it away though. Now going outside.

You easily slip through a crack in the window and you're outside in fresh air.
Even at your size the humidity and cool air of the morning was the same.
You were on the second floor of your house so you could see your bus stop from
your position, a few people were there, silent as usual so it seems from
where you are at least. After scoping the lawn and the various other lawns you'd have to go through to reach the bus stop you quickly realize that
the plan is useless. First the fall from even on top of a can of soda could kill you. Second, going through the lawns would take hours and the bus would arrive by the time you make it halfway through your own lawn if even halfway. Third, at your current size your at the bottom of the food chain. You started to shudder as you saw morning birds fly above,
scoping for insects for breakfast. You are already tired and made it so
far are you really going to quit now... You turned around and saw a big dustbunny about your size that must've squeezed through the crack on the window from which you
came through.... WAIT!

A crazy idea goes through your head, you grab the dust bunny and pick it up
it was very light weight. "I hope this works!", you yell as your jump off the outside window sill with the dustbunny held over you! You watch as you fall down slowly and glide through the air, you motion yourself towards the bus stop and slowly the features of the students got more detailed and their bodies seemed huger! Suddenly you hear a loud deafening engine.... you look down the road and see a huge yellow school bus! Damn! Will you make it with your dust bunny parachute on time!?
