Trouble [Egnellahc Sdrawkcab]

Emergency buzzers were screaming as the airship rolled and tumbled in the cavern. No one knew how they got there, but now they had a bigger problem.

“David, my boy! Where are we? How did we get here?” The captain yelled to the navigator.

“I… I don’t know!” David said, looking at his map.

But the boy was cut off as the ship shook violently, and a hissing filled the air.

“What in the world?” The captain said as the rest of the bridge looked for what they thought was a leak. Soon, one by one, each of the crew fell out of their chairs, or where they were standing, except David. He watched as his crew mates were each knocked out, shocked.

The shaking stopped, and David sat there, not knowing what to do. He reached over to the intercom, grabbing the microphone and saying,” Anyone who hears this, please come to the bridge!”

David paced the bridge, thinking. The door opened and there stood a girl, about his age, scared. “Okay, only one… I guess thats enough. Hey you, I need you to steer!”
