His heartbeat quickened as he felt the spaceship begin to move. It was his first time to be alone. The craft shook like crazy. He closed his eyes for a moment to steel himself. He was sweating a bit.

He was glad it was all automatic. He didn’t do much controlling. He had a smooth ride for several minutes and then felt the craft stop suddenly. The door swung open without him doing anything. He ran to the door and slowly walked out. The spaceship didn’t fly. He smiled.

He looked around to see what other carnival rides were available.
