Horvath's Huvercraft (a true story...mostly)

I have recently discovered something I thought so important i should share my newly found intelligence with my fellow classmates. This realization was thrust upon me shortly after i had finished my book review and reading for the night. Crawling under the covers and letting my droopy eyes rest the mistakes of my last book review began to shuffle through my mind. My intentions were to merely recheck in my mind if I had fixed those errors due to my poor display of the ability the marking period before, but thanks to my late night reading i was too exhausted to dwell on it long.

Now i must tell you, in the past i have been known to posses the talent of sometimes dreaming events that have already, or intend, to happen. This dream, however, was a bit different.

It was the end of the day in homeroom and our well known language arts teacher, Mr.Horvath, came up to me and asked if I needed help with my book review. Now, as you know i was worried I would not be able to improve this piece, so I agreed to this. Surprisingly though, instead of taking the paper from my hand he turned to the window, opened it all the way, and pushed out the screen to let the chill of November slip in. He then took a set of keys from his pocket and stepped out the window.

I am aware that a normal human being would plunge to his death at this point, but, Horvath being very unordinary, seemed to be walking on air. I was then astonished to find that he clicked a button that seemed to be for his car, and opposed to hearing the beep of doors unlocking I witnessed a large floating object appear. Yes, you guessed it, a hovercraft.

When awaking from this dream the memory flooded back to me and this is were my ultimate realization hit me. Horvath is not human. What? Do you suppose me crazy? Well think what you want but it all makes perfect sense. There is an invisible hovercraft siting afloat right outside his window and don't try and tell me different. I know what I'm saying is true, for what kind of human being can have such superior knowledge, be so astoundingly humble? The answer is none, for Horvath is not human but something completely unique.

  2. I love that you decided to post your dream!! Even though I am not a fan of anything that has to do with fantasy, I love your piece and I find it really amusing. Considering the fact this was your dream, you turned it into a really good writing piece, I especially love the intro and conclusion, and it was very creative and well written! :)

  3. I love this piece and I can picture him not being real all the time.This was a well written piece that had me ask questions. Sometimes he isn't real because he gives so much work

  4. I thought the writing piece was well written, but you forgot to add the part about having dinner and you getting mad at Mr. Horvath which leads to you storming off.

  5. I really liked this writing piece! It kept me interested and wanting to read more as the story went on. I think posting a writing piece about your dream is such a good idea. Especially if it has to do with Horvath.

  6. Was this really a dream you had? Well anyways, you definitely used humor in there really well and this piece of writing made me laugh. I, however cannot figure out whether you are complimenting Mr. Horvath, or insulting him.

  7. hahaha! It actually does make perfect sense, but my one question, why did he walk out the window when he was supposed to be helping you on your book review, that makes it seem like he doesn't want to brag about his superior knowledge, which we all know that he tries to do that at any possible moment. And my final question, was this a real dream?

  10. That is really good and I like how yuo said that he is not human which I found funny It was good because I could not tell if it was an actual dream or just a fictional piece of writing. Also Yes I could see Mr.H driving a hovercraft.

  11. I have to say I really like this short little story because of how true it is. I thought it was really funny. It was out there but right at the same time. I know that I should actually being giving you advice on how to fix it but I'm really not sure how other than saying I really didn't get why he went out the window when he asked if you wanted help. Could you explain that?

  14. Yes it was a dream, and to whoever asked about the going out the window thing it's the whole point of the story, if he didnt go out the window there would be nothing to write about, that and i was just writing what happened in my dream.

  17. I really liked how you told your dream with all the description. It was very creative. I could easily picture what was happening. I had to laugh a few times because sometimes I don't think he is completely human either. Great story.

  18. I thought it was interesting how you did this piece about your dream. I can never remember my dreams, but if i had a dream like that i would surly remember it.

  19. This was very creative and interesting. It was interesting because you wrote about our language arts teacher, which hooks everyone in. The description was very good and I like how you wrote a true story so people can relate and connect to it. I also liked how you included your thoughts at the beginning and end instead of just writing about the dream. I really liked this story, good job!

  21. I thought this piece was interesting. I do not see the humor in this story but I guess everyone else does. Everything was good but I have one great question: Did u mean to say "Hovercraft" or "Huvercraft".

  22. This writing piece was good because of the story outline and the details in it. I was hoping for a little more explanation to the point of the story because it was very interesting but a little to fast. And I would also like to add when you were talking about being crazy and you said me instead of I if it was on purpose I thought it was very clever but if not it was just a mistake.

  23. Haha. This writing piece had good details and I think it did make sense because of the reasons that were given. But, the beginning was very long and did not keep me interested.
