How Bowie Learned to Teleport

A long time ago, there were people that found an elixir to teleport as fast as the speed of light, but they didn’t know how to use it. So, they buried it and buried all the papers saying how to make it.

Two hundred years later, there was a guy named Bowie. He was traveling the world, looking at historical places. One day, he went snorkeling and then he found a shining, bright green gem. He picked it up, didn’t tell his parents, and kept it secretly, and then found a giant pool of lava. After that, he saw people digging into the lava, so he decided to help. He dug away from the others and he found a bottle of lava. He went home and put the gem into the lava and the lava turned blue and gold.

He couldn’t find anything for a couple of months until he went to Mexico and saw a mango. He loves mangoes, so he bought a mango, but when opened it there was fruit in it, but at the very center there was purple squid ink. He quietly ran and since he had no other bottle, he had to put it into the blue lava. When he put it into the blue lava, he noticed it became green with liquid on the inside. He still kept it in the bottle just in case. Then, he started to think it was magic or an ancient sorcery potion. That made him more determined to find more magical stuff and go out on more adventures to other places.

Two days later, he was in Paris and he wanted to go up to the Eiffel Tower. When got there, he wanted to climb to the very top, and then from up top, he saw something on the street light that was making it dark gray. So we went to the street light. He saw a paper perched on the street light and he got it down. When he opened it, he saw coordinates to a house. When he opened the door, he saw a necklace. He opened the necklace and saw a picture that was made in 1824 so he put it in the jar. That made a brown liquid. A year later, he went to India and he saw a magical 1 mushroom that was glowing. He took the bottle and put the mushrooms in. The mushroom turned into a purple liquid. He drank it. That made him able to teleport.
