Death Drop

Death Drop — page 3
Melanie Jackson newest thrill ride Death Drop plunged its passengers down at forty miles an hour Fifteen times the speed of a normal elevator Faster than gravity Like the tower the elevator was black with one difference It had a huge blood-red pomegranate painted on one side Death Drop was based on a Greek myth Hades the king of the under world gave a pomegranate to a beautiful woman named Persephone whom he had kidnapped She ate a few seeds Who wouldn’t Pomegranates are bittersweet refreshing But sly Hades had put a spell on the pomegranate Eating the seeds meant that Persephone had to marry Hades and spend half of every year with him Behind Death Drop people kayaked on False Creek The water was blue green in the sun The kayakers didn’t seem to be thinking about nature though 2
