Eric: The Lost Documents, part VIII
Grade: 8
Subject: Science
Description: Short story in which we were assigned to include all of that week's vocabulary words. That's just a recipe for disaster, isn't it?
"Michael Jordan was walking down the street one day when suddenly, the properties of physics stopped applying. His volume did not change, but his mass, the amount of matter packed into a certain amount of space, suddenly weighed nothing.
"As he floated around, he exhaled, and that sent him flying straight toward a nearby street pole. Thinking quickly, he grabbed the pole and he swung around, making a turning radius of his height. Then he started flying toward the sky, nearly reaching terminal velocity. As the cubic centimeters of air held less and less oxygen, he looked down and from so far away he could see the meniscus of the ocean.
"With his weight being nothing, his density changing around, and there being so gravity, there was no inertia to stop him from staying at the exact same speed in a straight line forever. He floated into the sun and burned to death horribly. His manager released a statement to the press saying that Michael Jordan had retired, which was technically true."
