Before I could even process what was happening, a futuristic hoverboard materialized silently before us. It had a sleek, aerodynamic design with edges that glowed an electric blue. The underside emitted a bright blue energy that kept it hovering a few centimeters above the ground, while its surface was made of a shiny metallic material that reflected our images.
Ruth nimbly stepped onto the board and yanked my hand roughly. "Come on, get on!" she shouted, and before I could react, the hoverboard shot into the air at a speed that stole my breath.
"AAAAAH! FUCK, YOU'RE INSANE!" I screamed as we suddenly soared high. My arms instantly wrapped tightly around Ruth's body, my eyes squeezed shut. My legs trembled feeling the precarious footing beneath me. I just discovered a fear of heights I never knew I had, or maybe it was just the shock of being taken by surprise.
