Day 29 - It's A Bird...

On June 1, 2013, every news station in Manhattan focused on a human who was seen flying in circles around the Statue of Liberty. It was the most newsworthy thing that had happened in years, and people were either staring at their television screens in awe or planning for what they were certain would be a vicious alien attack.

Ben sat flipping through the channels, tears streaming down his face from laughing so hard. He never dreamed that the 'flying dummy' he created would become so newsworthy. He had always thought the people of Manhattan would believe anything, and he finally had proof. Turning the television off, he began to make plans for himself and his flying pal. Next stop: the White House.
