Life on one wing

Merissa longed her whole life to be a pilot, but she was always told to leave that job to people who could actually commit to things. What those people didn’t know was merissa had grown up her whole life in planes because her father had been a pilot before the crash. She knew how to operate a plane at only the age of 3. Merissa would sometimes lay curled up in her bed crying wishing she had a different body and thinking how she disappointed her Dad that day. People had always told Merissa she would never amount to anything because she only had one leg, and couldn’t do anything.

Merissa had felt worthless ever since the crash when she lost her leg, until one day she saw a poster in the hallway at her school of an air show competition that was happening on October 31, exactly one month from then. She was determined to enter the competition and prove all those who had doubted her wrong. She was probably better than all the other contestants combined. She would make her Dad proud even past the grave.

She trained for weeks but when the show came her life had better plans.

What will Merissa choose the peoples lives in danger, or the flight show….

Life on one wing

Merrisa had longed to be a pilot all her life, but people always said she could never, and she wasn’t capable of doing such things because she was handicapped. Little did they know she had known planes all her life, and could operate one at the age of just 3. But every since the crash that took her leg, she had believed those things people said. She felt worthless incapable of anything.

Some days she would lie in her bed crying because she felt she had disappointed her Dad so deeply even from his grave he was balked. She felt guilty for the death of her dad thinking of that day, when he was so proud of her for learning new technique he took her out for a fly but then it went all wrong. She was driving the plane when it happened. The crash that took her leg, and her Dad.

One day when Merissa was moping around school as usual she saw a poster for an air show competition and winner wins a latest model of a Calners brand plane (the most high-quality planes in england). She was determined to win the show and make her dad proud. She had a month to prepare and she worked her butt off, she new she was better than all the other contestants combined.

But on the day of the show Merissa’s life has other plans, should she help those whose lives are in danger or continue to the show living with the guilt….

ps this thread is so good😆

Why does this not work?????

Ok thanks for clarifying that Admin.

So glad it’s friday (more like FriYAY!!!!!!!!)

Flight

Icarus is a typical teenage boy – only now he’s lost the life he used to have.

He and his father have been whisked away from their comfortable home in the lovely city of Derion, to become the captives of King Beron, the enemy of ancient Greece itself. Icarus’ father is forced to use his amazing inventive powers to help the evil tyrant, while Icarus himself is little better than a slave. But, just perhaps, he can take flight and escape Beron – literally.

Throughout the weeks of fear and uncertainty, Icarus helps his father work on a daring and audacious plan to soar the skies like birds – but will it work? In the end, will he be able to fly high and far enough to save himself and his father, and all of Greece?

Flight is a poignant examination of the stories we tell ourselves, the plans we make, and the dreams that propel us – but most of all, of the relationship between father and son, and of flights both metaphorical and real that crisscross the space between one life and another.

These summaries were all ones I really would want to read!

Third Place – Thalorwin!
I really love this heartwarming and whimsical summary! This seems like the perfect book to pick up on a rainy day. The ending is really sweet as well.

Second Place – ScoutedWolfKnife!
This seems like the kind of story that would tug at the heartstrings and probably make me cry. I love the emotional stakes, especially with trying to handle life with one leg, guilt, and the plane show.

First Place – Poinsettia!
I love a good mythology-based story, and this would definitely be one of them! I love the high-stakes, and how you take the well-known myth but bring it in a different perspective. Congrats! You’re the next judge! (though if you don’t feel like judging again so soon, you can just let me know!)

Yay, thank you for first place, @Moon Wolf! And congrats to the others as well!

I wouldn’t mind judging again, the next theme is “love” and the judging date… let’s say October 14?

Have fun!
