Then two strong, tall men put me in a dusty old box with white shiny foam as white as the full moon. I felt like I was being suffocated as they closed the dark, spooky, dodgy box. They sent me somewhere strange I don\u2019t know where but it was a bumpy ride I\u2019m sure of that! I don\u2019t reckon it was that far from JKF (Jacob Kangaroos Fireworks) but I knew this was the start of a new exiting adventure&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>In approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour (I think?) I felt a cold, damp, scaly hand and I saw a dazzling hopeful stream of light, I could hear cheers of laughter as well as I smell the salty chips and ice cream. I knew I was at the docks, but where? I also heard a faint whistle of an angry boat driver (sounds like his fuel is low.) Suddenly I saw a shining silver rack gleaming in the beautiful sunlight with other colourful fireworks on it. All hooked up to a stick of dynamite taped to the bottom of each individual firework.<\/p>\n<p>CLUNCK! I got chucked on to the slimy rack. I bet they are laughing behind my back! I lay on my front all afternoon and watched gleaming boats coming in and moving to the side as if there was something scary coming up behind their backs.<\/p>\n<p>The other fireworks looked at the sky where they were going to die tonight, waiting patiently as families started to arrive. Then all of a sudden&#8230;pow! Up I go, I can see children&#8217;s spirits lifting as I go bang! I am now floating up into heaven.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One lovely Monday morning I got picked out of my friends, I heard Mr Bluesman (the firework manager) say \u201cThis special little striped firework will be a big, crazy hit at the ceremony, John.\u201d \u201cGreat we need lots of different sorts of fireworks because many people are going to see the tall ships coming in, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[10],"tags":[308,247,286,59,49],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.6.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&#039;A Firework&#039;s Flight&#039;
