"Here! You're hired" someone said in a gruff low voice.
"Thank you sir" He said to the woman who threw the uniform at him from behind her desk. You see this "man" was actually a woman with a low gruff voice…hey it happens.
"No problem. You pilot 454. It is in the East Yard. Welcome aboard" she said then she blew a train whistle.
With all the excitement of a ten-year-old going to advanced math class, the boss woman jumped up and left. Cameron went out to see his new plane.
He went to the East Yard. He saw 454. It was a cable car. He was a cable car pilot.
"Oh this figures. What a jet this is." He said, again using obscene language that I won't type.
After about ten days on the job he had made enough to buy the cable car. So he did just that. Cameron had a plan. He went home and made a large sign that read:
"CAMERON CAMEONT'S CABLE CAR FLIGHTS. EVER DREAMED OF FLYING? HERE'S YOUR CHANCE. ASK ME WHAT I MEAN. ADULTS $5. CHILDREN 12 AND UNDER $3.50"
Cameron rigged up his new cable car with equipment he made. Two wings made of steel. He hooked harnesses to the wings, top and bottom. He put three sets of two poles on top parallel to each other. Then ran a steel cable between them and attached a harness the cable with a small bungee cord. These were the premiere seats on the ride. They required an extra dollar fifty and a liability waiver just to ride. He then attached a jet engine to the rear of the cable car. Then he made a closed course on 200 acres that would be the path for his ride.
He opened his business on June 15th, his birthday and the anniversary of his first G.I. Joe flight. Tons of people came out. After Cameron and his two friends Maylee and Tom had secured the passengers, he started the engine. He got on the loudspeaker.
"This is your captain speaking. We will be flying at speeds of 60-80 miles per hour today. If you feel sick or faint at anytime just shout at me as loud as you can to stop the ride and I will speed it up so it's over quicker. Please feel free to move your arms and legs around as it will simulate actual flight. Also if you feel the urge to commit suicide by taking off your harness your family will be charged a steep fine to pay for cleaning up your remains. Thank you and enjoy your flight."
With that Cameron took off the parking brake and threw the engine into gear. They took off instantly leaving a path of smoke and screams behind. The passengers all seemed to be enjoying themselves. One man was unhappy though, he forgot to put his protective face mask on. His eyes quickly dried out and bugs splattered his face (yes I said splattered his face not splattered "ON" his face)
