THE IMPOSSIBLE

THE IMPOSSIBLE.

She pulled down on the chain with her left hand, steering herself towards her target. It was supposed to be the most exciting birthday present ever; a hot air balloon ride. However, Alice had been hanging on for dear life for over 100KM (since the basket of the hot air balloon had fallen off). She was now getting used to steering the huge balloon by manoeuvring her body, leaning to the left or to the right.

Terrified yet excited at the same time, Alice could just about make out her house and garden far below. It was the one surrounded by trees straight ahead, wasn’t it? She took a deep breath and focused… but it didn’t go the way Alice thought…

She was almost there but she started to panic again. Her hands started to get sweaty and her arms were getting tired. She then slipped! And she hit  her brick roof and fell onto the hard concrete path. She woke up! She was still on the ground but she didn’t feel any pain. She brushed her blonde hair out of her face and saw her parents in a panic asking if she was okay.

“I’m fine guys” she said 

“Uhhh… You don’t seem fine…” the dad said

 “YOU JUST FELL OUT OF THE SKY!!!” the mum screamed.

 “But I’m fine!” she said. 

“I’m NOT having this. We are taking you to the hospital!” said the mum

‘(sigh) so much for my morning birthday adventure’ Alice thought. 

No matter how many times Alice told them that she was fine, they would never believe her. They would say something like, ‘you must’ve damaged your body and now you are all numb so you can’t feel a thing!’ or something dumb like that. It did look bad when she saw that her new bright red puffer jacket was all ripped up.

When they arrived Alice went straight into the E.R to get an X-ray. What the doctors found was shocking…

The doctor had a chat with the girl and her parents and explained that he had never seen anything like it… her bones were not crushed, they were completely fine and the reason why was going to change her life for good.

The X-rays showed that her bones were made out of SOLID CHROMIUM!

She was shocked… her bones were made out of one of the hardest metals on the planet! Did she hear that right? Did she need to take off her pink fluffy earmuffs to hear correctly?

Her parents were in disbelief… they asked how this could have happened and the doctors said that they had no idea… They asked if maybe the dad or mum had the same medical condition, but after the scans, they learned that they had a normal human skeleton. 

She felt like she was an abomination. She figured her parents didn’t want anything to do with her but they just looked at her in silence and said “it’s time to go home…”  Alice had a horrible nightmare! She had a dream that her parents got pickaxes and started to harvest her bones! The last thing she heard was: “these will sell handsomely” from her mother. She woke up, terrified about what had happened but luckily, it was just a dream. She was hoping that maybe the chromium bones were also a dream so she decided to knock on her arm. BANG BANG BANG! Went her arm when she knocked on it. 

“Great. I’m still an abomination” she said to herself. It was Monday so she had to go to school. When she went there, everybody was looking at her with shock and disgust. What? She thought did they know? She figured out that her parents must’ve told the news. 

Then a person spoke up, “LOOK! WALKING MONEY!” 

he punched them in the face with her metal fist.

 “I just got punched in the face by $1890000… that's awesome!” he said. Alice stormed off in a rage. Why me? What did I do? She felt like a girl in a gacha-life story with a massive twist. She then realised that she was a walking $1890000. Each bone of hers was like 7000 dollars! she could be so rich….

She sold all the bones that she didn’t need and she became the richest person on the planet and they all lived happily ever after.

THE END.

But she wondered how? How and why are her bones like that? Well, she was a spoiled brat! And she was already pretty rich! So she was born and drank melted chromium as milk! So eventually the chromium went into her skeleton and she had a chromium skeleton after that! 

THE END.
