THE END

To follow another path, press here.

You are annoyed that Jack doesn’t believe you, especially after all the odd things he has tried convincing you of in the past. So you tell him—no, order him—to go see for himself.

“OK. OK, I’ll go,” he says, looking at you like you’re crazy. He begins his climb and is quickly out of sight.

You wait for him. And wait. You’re not sure how long it took you to climb the tower, but the afternoon is quickly turning into night. Part of you worries what Jack will do up on Mars. As you’ve found out many times before, that boy in unpredictable. And sometimes—usually—his mischief leads to trouble.

Suddenly up in the sky where the tower disappears, you see a flash of light. Then a roaring blast knocks you to the ground.

Pieces of the tower come crashing down. You have to roll out of the way to avoid injury. Once the explosion is over, you see that the tower is no longer standing. Even worse, Jack is gone.

“Jack! Oh, why did I send you up there?” you wail. You scramble among the rubble, looking for the magic nuts and bolts, hoping the tower can somehow be rebuilt. But it’s no use.

Desperate, you call NASA to ask for their help. After they get done chuckling at your far-fetched story, they say that the next Mars mission isn’t for five more years.

“I hope Jack can survive by his wits for that long,” you mumble, and then you realize your mistake. Wits? Who am I kidding? He’ll be better off looking for more magic.
