Review of The Ten Miniature Jewel Swans Short Story

Review of The Ten Miniature Jewel Swans Short Story

By Zirkon Kalti

Jim Roberts decides to carry out a robbery on the rare jewel swans displayed at his relative's shop. He wears a black mask and enters into the shop with a gun. First, he asks the cashier to turn over all the money in the cashier machine.

Next, he breaks the cabinet glass and steals the jewel swans. He puts each swan carefully into his bag. Before he left the shop, he breaks the shop window and this sounds the alarm. Finally, he gets into his car and step on the oil pedal to escape.

When the police arrives, the shopkeeper told them that they suspect it is their relative that has carried out the robbery. So, the police calls his brother George and George calls Jim and ask if he could visit him. But Jim is not there when he pays him a visit at his house.

So, George enters into his house and starts to rummage his stuff in hope to find some evidences. He found bits of jewels. Just about this time, another person enters and he scoops all the small jewels bits into a pouch and take it to a lab to examine. They find out that the jewels bits have nothing to do with the jewel swans that have been stolen

One day, George accuses Jim of robbing the 10 jewel swans. Jim is panic and he gets into the car. He speed in his car and the police follow right after him. His car collided into a traffic light and he has to get off the car.

After running for some time, he fell. Thank goodness, his friend, Louis stops his car when he saw him running. Jim gets into the car and flees the police.

While staying with Louis, he installs the jewels onto a spaceship he has invented. The jewels are installed at different places on the spaceship so that they give off a mild sparkling light.

Jim and Louis set out in the spaceship and they start to zap monuments from different city. News appears on the TV about the monuments that have been spotted missing mysteriously. The monuments are shrunk into small models which they use to build a city model housed on their spaceship.

They take their spaceship into under the ocean and enter into the stomach of a whale to hide for a while. While in the stomach of the whale, they catch a lot of fishes so that the whale always gets hungry. The whale feels that keeping them is taking a toll on his daily need of food supply so he decides to blow them out and get rid of them.

They encounter a submarine that captures them. But, they manage to shrink the scientists and escape. The submarine keeps on searching for them after they have escaped. They try to camouflage the spaceship into different marine creatures to prevent being spotted by the submarine.

Later, Jim and Louis come up with a plan to zap the submarine. The submarine and everyone in it have been shrunk. Though they are shrunk, they are still alive.

They kept them in the city model housed on their spaceship. Finally, they decide it is time for them to take off into the outer space. They stay in the outer space and wander around for a long time.

The jewel short story tells the story of Jim Roberts who build a sparkling spaceship with the jewels he has stolen. He goes around the world zapping monuments and also zap a submarine.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
