Wan Hu's Attempt to Fly

Date: 1500 A.D.
Author: Chinese Servant

Dear Journal,
     The high official has gone to heaven! I saw it with my own eyes. I was there with the 46 other coolies and we lit 47 black powder rockets that sent Wan Hu's chair high up the sky where he disappeared in a loud explosion and smoke. I can imagine him smiling at us from heaven right now. What good fortune!
