Fantasy/SciFi, NarrativeWritingMaybe in the future, we will have hologram television and holograms you can feel. Maybe we will have mechs!
Mech description: Has two wings. People think of the mech like, “You built this amazing mech and it has two puny wings.”
3-D pen: A pen that can write off of the paper.
Once, there was a man in a mech. He lives in the future. He wants to help people in the past. Every day, he takes his notebook and his 3-D pen. He writes about the future and throws his notebook and pen into the past. The people wonder whose journal it is.
