Flight to success

In the morning, Diane's father helped his sister with her bag into his car and beckoned to her that he was ready to leave. Aunt Lolly, who was still inside the room, opened her door slightly as she walked out majestically. Diane came out of her room to bid her aunt farewell. She was happy that Aunt Lolly was leaving. "Goodbye, ma'am, and my regards to the linguistic teacher," Diane said with a smile. Aunt Lolly wasn't listening to Diane beforehand and suddenly turned back on hearing the linguistic teacher. "Stay home till all your peers graduate and get married," Aunt Lolly said as she hissed and walked outside toward Diane's father's car.

Fly Squirrel fly 🐿️
Victor suddenly came down.
"I'm so sorry!" He began crying, Mr Stu paid him no mind, trying to save Mr Robin.
"We need to get him out of there!" Victor said, crying. "There's a waterfall."
When everyone was confused, Mr Stu called Jack the hawk to fly and get some help while we followed and tried rescuing Mr Robin before he reached the waterfall.
"Help!!" Mr Robin shouted again and we looked on as the current pulling him became faster.
He was moving quickly and we all flew after him, each trying their best to glide and catch him without falling in ourselves.

The flight of salvation
"Just hold on tightly to this bar, try to keep the wing structure as straight as possible, and run and jump into the void, the wind will do the rest!" —Eliaski was talking to a large group of dorintas who, terrified and incredulous, did not see any other alternative to save their lives from the dorcos, which were getting closer and closer.
Eliaski held the apparatus that had been prepared for him, took some distance, and shouted to the Dorinths who were watching him in horror: "I'm waiting for you on the other side of the clouds!"
He then rushed to the edge of the cliff and launched himself into the void. The group rushed fearfully to the edge, but did not see Eliaski rise and, when they were resigned to certain death, suddenly, far below, the feathered apparatus with Eliaski attached to it, took flight, soared through the air, took altitude, and headed straight for the clouds. After a few minutes, it disappeared into the thick wind.

Flight: Escape from the sphere
Author's drawing in Krita 5.2.1
"Captain Dyson! How are you?”
"Nebula, why do you ask the obvious? Besides, you are capable of monitoring my vital signs.”
"No, sir! The energy waves found at the limit of the extrasolar space damaged the ducts between the sensors. With great effort, I managed to activate the neural link.”
"Ah! You're invading my mind!”
"I'm sorry sir. I had no choice.”
"I understand... but what you did violates the non-intrusion protocol, and personal privacy. Admirable, you challenged one of the fundamental guidelines.”

Unveiling Shadows
"Why are you asking everyone for their phones to make a call? I've been watching you for a while," he questioned, refusing to hand over his phone.
I fixed my gaze on him, noting the discomfort that spread across his face.
"Why did you do it?" I inquired, holding onto the hope that the question might prompt a confession if he was involved.
"What makes you think I sent any text messages?" He retorted.
"Did I mention anything about text messages?"

My designer shoes
A day before the seminar, I went over to my parents' house to get the shoes. “I can't wait to see the look on their faces when they finally see it,” I laughed maniacally as I searched through my wardrobe.
I finally brought out the shoes but immediately, my heart clawed at my ribs, not from nerves, but from dread. “what's going on here?” I asked as if expecting a response from the shoes.
One of the shoes was looking different, its once-immaculate surface marred by wrinkles and cracks. “How am I even doing to explain this to those guys?”, I choked out, sinking onto the bed, their mocking laughter echoing in my ears.
I decided not to think much about it as I packed the shoes into my bag, vowing to concoct a convincing story to explain the situation to my friends.
