Susan and the lift to the clouds


Susan and the lift to the clouds
Zosia was seven years old and very curious. She had always lived next to the old radio tower. She liked to build rockets out of cardboard and tape. One night a second, small moon appeared. It flashed like a torch and moved slowly. Zosia counted the flashes and wrote them down in her notebook. In the morning she found a silver, strange seed by the sandpit. The grain beeped quietly and was warm in her hand. Immediately Leon and the robo-dog Pico arrived. The robo-dog buzzed and waved its magnetic tail cheerfully. The seed unfolded into a small map of light. A dotted line led to a door in the tower. - 'It's an invitation, I think,' whispered Zosia quietly. - Or a request for help - added Leon. They gathered torches, a compass and a snack jar. At the bottom of the tower, a hidden panel flashed blue. Pico touched it with his nose and the panel blinked. The door hissed and opened a cool tunnel downwards. The floor pulsed with light, like a calm heart in the darkness. A low, pleasant hum came from deep within. A lift marked To the Clouds stopped in front of them. A voice said: - Please state the mission captain. - Captain Zosia? - asked the voice and the countdown began. - Three... two... - The door began to close.
