myself and russ the child i was at 50,000ft

[xn728]

i was driving to london a journey i made once a mounth/i was on the a1 motorway it was just getting light ,
around 7am /i saw a siloete on the roadside ahead aprox/300 metres /as i drew closer it became apparent
it was an aircraft /i pulled up in a layby ,i needed a closer look /i clambered down a grass bank and walked
towards a link fence .it was a jet fighter so close to the fence i could almost touch it /a single seat
twin engined matt green dart of a thing /with a large cobra painted on its tail fin /why was it so close
to the fence with no/one around /i had to have a closer look i climbed the fence and when i reached the top
,i looked all around ,not a soul in sight /i leapt to the ground below and stayed low /still looking around
nothing /just quiet.i walked around this great beast ,ran my hand along its cold skin /so much power /it was,
a lightning f mark 2a /a cold war fighter from the 60/s /there were hand holds up the fusealarge to the canopy
i reached and pulled myself up .the canopy was misted i got hold in a resess and pulled myself up as i did this
the canopy lifted upwards with a slight hiss /i paniced looked around /all was quiet ,i just had to sit in here
i stepped in and squeezed into the tight seat, buttons lights and clocks all around me ,i lifted my arms to ,
keep my hands away from switcths and things my elbow knock somthing /the canopy began to close and i tried
pushing upwards but it locked in place .i wiped the condensation from the inside of the screen i was alone
i flicked a few switches lights came on /canopy still closed/i pushed a few buttons ,a dull thud the clocks
came to life /i could here a faint whine but felt nothing /it grew louder/then a bigger thud /the whole aircraft
was vibrating now /i new i had lit the engines /i had flown quite a lot in light aircraftas my friend was
a flying instructor .could i dare ,this would be prison /thats if i didnt die in a ball of flames/the canopy
was clear now /still no/one around /they were doing some contruction nearby could i see the crane /i realeised
the brakes and the aircraft rolled forward /i lined myself up and sat silently i could stop right now and
dissapear/without a trace ,the aircraft leaped forward as i slid the throttles about halfway /the ground rolled
underneath me at an alarming rate /the crane became larger/i pulled the stick back and the nose lifted the crane
had gone from view but i knew it was still there ,i pulled the throttles back to the reheat position .
i was punched into my seat as neat fuel was dumped into the exhausts ,i held on looking to the side as i was
projected upwards sheep and cows were scattering below ,the crane left far behind /someone would notice now
i leveled out at 50.000 ft i could see the curve of the earth /and space was looking back at me /
i played about up here /nothing to hit ,no jet liners they cant go this high ,i felt sick /was it fear of what.
i had done /no of course i didnt have oxygen /i must lose hieght not to quickly though/i decended to 10.000 feet
no siqn of any other fighters yet ,9am now lets go home .it would take me around 5 minutes to reach the village
were i grew up were i was tormented all those years ago /i looked around for land marks /yes the main road
i circled at a distance first didnt want to hit any other aircraft /all clear ,i approached low around 200 ft
as i lost the view of the ist lampost beneath me i hit the burners the village flashed by /i couldent hear but
i knew all the car alarms would be sounding and the ground would be shakeing,i turned and looked out as i did
a slow pass /people were out on the streets pointing some had there hands over there ears/i rolled out and flew
into the distance /i approached from the opposite of the road this time faster and lower /i hit the burners
and climbed straight up punched a hole in the clouds and dissarpeered/fuel was low now i made my way back
i was worried about landing /but the aircraft quided us home /all was still quiet /it was not quite fully
light yet ,the lights were out and the engines were cold /i looked out of the canopy /russ was smiling,
he waved and walked out of view /i used to visit the abandond lightning were it stood alone in the feild
a lot and me and russ /and the lighting had many adventures ,now maybe the people who tormented me /felt upset
and bewildered like i had done thanks for the bullying and the stoning /i was only differant ,,,,,,,xn728
