A City of Flight
from a card from Jennifer

 One  stormy  day,  Fred  was  in  his  garage  working  on  his  airplane  to  make  it  more  exciting.  So  Fred  started  to   work.  He  decided  to  make  a  Rigid  airship.  Then  when   he  started  to   get  working  he  had  not   enough   room   in  the  garage.  When  the  storm  stopped  he  started  moving  everything  outside  and  started  to  work. Then  Marge  his  wife  called  him  in  for  supper  but  he  said ìI  will  come  in  after.íí He  worked  and  worked  very  hard.
 Ten  days  went  by, Fred  was  still  in  his  garage,  he  had  slept  in  there  and  eaten  there. Then  Fred  called  his  friends  Steven, David  and  Kyle,  to  ask  them  to  build  something  that  flies  so  one  day  they  can  go  on  a  flying  trip. So  they  all  said ìYESíí, and  they  started  to  work. Fred  asked  Steven  what  he  was  going   to  build  and  he  said ìboy  lifteríí,  Kyle  said  he  was  going  to  build  a ìMontgolfier,íí  and  David  said  he  was  going  to  build  a  ìairship.íí  So  they  all  worked  very  hard  and  one  day  they  were  going  to  fly  one  day.
 Days  went  by.  Steven, David, Kyle  and  Fred  decided  they  would  have  a  good  night  sleep  and  at  9:00am  they  would  all  meet  at  Kyleís  house.  The  next  day,  they  left  and  said   good-bye  to  their   wives.   So  they  set  off.
 One  day  they flew  by  a  city,  and  Fred  noticed  a  lot  of  planes, different   kinds.  They  all  noticed.  Boy  lifters, but  not  the  same  as  Stevenís.  Airlifterís,  airships, lilienthal  glider,  Montgolfier,  flying  cars,  cayley  boy  lifters,  Ader  eole,  santos  pumont, curtiss  June  Bugs,  Cody  biplanes,  roe  triplanes,  and sikorskies.....

     City From Nowhere
A postcard from Dan 

 I searched about this planet I encountered on my travels, and I found this weird podium. During the day it shone like the sun itself, it was made completely of gold, and there were  no significant carvings or inscriptions.  It lay in a huge grassy plain, and can be noticed from far away.  I decided to place items on the podium, but strangely they all disappeared. 
 It took several days to do this study, and I was getting restless because of the lack of positive results.  So I decided to step on the podium itself.  What a surprise I got. 

 As the light faded I saw a huge city. Golden towers soared about the weird podium, and strange people approached me. As I looked more carefully at the towers and saw small shiny bridges linking the golden towers together and small figures walking across them. I turned to look at my receptionists, I saw that they were small happy looking creatures, most of them having black or bluish hair and green or orange eyes. They all wore silk looking clothes that constantly changed colours, and shoes that never seem to touch the ground. Other than the hair, eyes, clothes, and shoes they looked like humans, but I couldnít tell the difference between boys and girls.

 One of the humanoids approached the podium, and motioned for me to follow. I hesitated for a moment, then followed it.  It took me to one of the golden towers that had some kind of marking on it that I didnít notice before.  I thought that it meant something like royalty or something but these humanoids seemed to have no government of any sort. As I entered the unique tower, I saw lots of these humanoids moving about. The tower had a hole in the middle of it,  where the humanoids floated to the floor they wanted. My guide went into the middle and started to float up.
