So is this more Jetpack or what?

Yes. This is a little side-story I wrote in response to a prompt from @Fictionistas. It had to be 1,000 words or less, which was much more challenging than I thought it would be. When I felt like I had just enough, I had to cut more than a hundred words out.

Nice story! I liked the fantastical elements and could feel the excitement.

I really like how this complements the Jetpack story. I know it was a side story, but I could see it being a cool beginning to a dual perspective narrative. It would be interesting to follow the two perspectives back and forth until they (hopefully) meet up.

That's a great idea! What started as a short story, has some potential to become something more. I definitely have other short stories to write, but I think I'll take your advice and keep returning to this storyline. Thank you for sharing!
