WRITING OBSTACLE

Write a descriptive scene about a character forced to use a unique mode of transportation.

This isn't how I wanted to start my morning

Linnaeus doesn't plan on jumping a top of a broken rollercoaster railway, in the middle of an abandoned amusement park, and the worst part about it? She was using a gadget that wasn't even introduced in this lifetime until now and the most important question? Why is she one that even testing this gadget?!


"I swear this is a terrible idea," she said, looking at Deviene, the one who had made this gadget. She tried hard to be serious and not act like she was on the verge of a meltdown. Did you even try this one before?"


"No, why do you think we wanted you to test it?" he answered, placing both of the seemingly metallic bands on her wrist. The cold metal seeped into her skin and did not help calm her already raging nerves.


"Are you sure this is going to work right?" she asked once again as he placed another metallic band on her feet.


"Yes," Deviene said. "We did try it on light items before."


Linnaeus honestly doesn't know whether it was a compliment or not that she doesn't weigh that much.


"And if it doesn't work?" she asked testily.


"Then you go splat on the ground," Yue piped looking at her with a smile. "Obviously."


"Or you can just defy gravity," Yang said not so helpfully.


"I can't believe you dragged me out of our hideout to test this early in the morning!" Linnaeus snapped at them before nervously looking down at the ground. She wasn't overeacting when she thought that the fall was huge, why? Because it really is. They couldn't even climb their way up here if they haven't skimmed their way up.


"Too bad, we can't change our mind now," Luna said crossing her arms with a slight smirk.


"What do you mean I can't?" she said in disbelief glaring at her before showing her hands in front of him. "Deviene removed this things and put it t Luna since she seemed like she's having way too much watching me suffer."


"That's not even called suffering yet," Luna said stepping forward at her with a smirk playing on her lips. A smirk that Linnaeus knew that screams trouble, a sign that she should run before something horrible really does happen to her.


But as usual she was too slow as Luna pushed her off to the edge of the railway.


She screamed, the fall pushing out all the air out of her lungs, the wind rushing at her ears as gravity forced her down to the ground. She couldn't see how far she is from crashing, the only thing she can see was the gray skies, the edge of the railway slowly disappearing and Linnaeus was certain she was going to fall on her death-


BEEP!


She was about to see her life flash before her eyes when she heard that sound and the next thing she knew she stopped halfway near the ground, a few inches before she crashed on her death. She blinked, opening her eyes to see herself already hovering and slowly but surely making her way... upwards.


Her eyes narrowed suspiciously before looking at her wrist, blinking slowly. Oh... OH.


"Or you can just defy gravity," she remembered Yang said earlier and that's when she understood.


She was tricked in so many ways than one as she laughed looking at her wrist before making a flip mid air, enjoying the way how she feels so free before making her way back to the edge, hovering near it as she watched her friends laugh.


"So, how is it?" Deviene asked.


"It's good, I can fly great," Linnaeus said with a smile showing them the bands. "Better than I thought."


"Good, we need them more than we thought."
