Jack and the Laptop- part 3

My eyes opened abruptly to a strange whooshing sound. Something was flying above me, but I couldn’t really tell what it was. I was lying on my back, so all I could see was the strange bluish- green tinge of the sky. Was it going to rain? I thought to myself. I continued to focus on the sky, not caring of anything else around me. Little white figures were floating above me in straight lines. Some were flying to the left and others the right. Some would even form a spiral in the sky, but they always maintained a straight line. It was only when I stood up and my eyes cleared that

I realized what they really were. They were envelopes. Envelopes were flying above me. Each one of them had different names on them; e-mail for John McKenzie. I raised my shaking hands to my eyes and rubbed them viciously, wondering if this was all a dream. I then looked down and noticed that instead of standing on a solid floor, I was hovering just like the billions of letters above me. Suddenly, one of the letters separated from the line and drifted down towards me. I quickly stretched out my hand and caught it in mid air. Once it was in my hands it opened automatically and read: Hey kid. How’s the lap top working out?

I immediately knew it was the creepy man from the store. Where did her go? Where was he? Where was I? I thought about the last question for a moment and came across the only plausible answer. I was in cyber space. Where e-mails, videos and songs were sent all around the globe.
Still in disbelief about everything that was going on, I began to walk- more like fly- through cyber space. Around me were e-mails, video files and music files zooming away into the distance. If I wasn’t careful, I could end up coming out of someone else’s computer. I tried hard to remember exactly where I had appeared then continued to explore the area. It was so chaotic.

Hey Katerina, I'm really enjoying how creative your "Jack and the Laptop" series is. I think you could edit a bit more though i.e "Where did her go? Where was he? ". Aside from that, I think this is a really entertaining urban fairytale.
