Harvey Lock's Adventures

and

"The new plasma TV?"

Harvey's red tipped hair swayed in the wind, along with the rest of his body as he gazed into the window of Dick Smith Electronics. Although he had originally planned to get cheap, pathetically thick wiring for his grade 9 technology class, he could not resist the temptation to upgrade from his 1959 RCA "Fliptop" to something a bit more 'in the times'. This television of his had many memories, and had even gone up to speeds of 120 kilometres an hour! But in the end, this never weighed up against his superior knowledge of technology.

Through his handbook he peered, looking for answers to his many questions. He had not yet noticed that there was a big sign above him detailing how you can ask the experts about these kinds of things, but still he persevered. "Ah, there it is!" he shouted into the glass in a monotonous cry. Finally had he found what he was searching for, his can of Pepsi Max. With this piece of amazing technology, he was able to take on these so called 'Techxperts'.

He reached out with his left hand and pushed on the handle. But wait, there was no handle! Technology had advanced so much into the future since July 20th, 1981, that doors were motion controlled! Gliding like an eagle, with coordination like that of a sloth, Harvey stepped through the lines of expensive equipment. In and out he wove through the hordes of children, which he, admittedly, found hard to resist towards his desires. "No!" he said to himself, "I'm on a mission!"

Finally, he reached the back wall, stocked to the ceiling with different types of wire. After twelve seconds of contemplation, he reached for the cheapest, most appealing looking cord. Almost out of the store he looked at the plasma televisions. They were more appealing to him than the children, surprisingly enough, and he couldn't resist in an way. "On sale!" he bellowed out as he leapt into the air in such a dyslexic way that he wouldn't damage his knee. "I have to get this, I have locked funds in my bank, and I will get this television!"

Almost out of the shop, again, he realised that he still hadn't payed! He had just planned to walk out of the store with these goods! He turned in such a metro way that his wig almost fell off, as he continued towards the service counter. "Can I help you?" the unexperienced teen 'techxpert' blew-out to Harvey, who just gave him the items. Harvey was not in a mood to argue at this time, one of the few times in his life. He savoured the feeling of non-argumentation which drained his magical powers, for it both gave him pleasure but also caused him grief.

'Twas a sacrifice he knew he had to take but none the less, he had completed his mission. Another boring day in the life of Harvey Lock completed. Although he knew it wasn't as unimportant as most days, he did end up with a plasma TV! One question that still pondered his tiny little brain was… "Why… were you up there anyway?". So, until next time, goodnight everybody!
