Silla-Tierra

Book 3 of the mysterious wheelchair

Chapter 4: Zoofixty finds himself in Silla-Tierra

The next thing Zoofixy Jr. knew was that he was in a house that he only remembers from a dream. When he tried to go somewhere, he realized that his body was moving like a wheelchair. Just then he remembered the last time he was in this house. He and his grandmother had planted heart-shaped flowers in the backyard.

Mr. Quzefuly was wheeling back to the house from the office. He was thinking to himself, “Why me? Why am I in this world instead of Zuphixy?” Now the house he was going to just so happened to be the same house that Zoofixy Jr. had found himself in. Zoofixy Jr. was thinking to himself, "How can I stay here by myself?"

When Mr. Quzefuly opened the door, he was surprised to see a skin-colored wheelchair looking at itself in a mirror. Just then Zoofixy Jr. spun his chair toward the door in shock! Mr. Quzefuly said, “What are you doing in my house, kid?!” Zoofixy Jr, recognizing his grandfather's voice, said “It's me, Grandfather”. Only after that did Mr. Quzefuly recognize his grandson's voice, but was still shocked to find him in this world.

Zoofixy Jr. wanted them both to go back to the real world because he knew his parents would be looking for them. Mr. Quzefuly said, “Well, we are stuck here for a while! All the flowers in the backyard have died. They died because until a week ago no one had lived here, since you left with your parents 10 years ago.”

Just as Zoofixy Jr. had gone into one of the bedrooms to see if his Dad's seeds for the heart-shaped flowers were still there, Mr. Stripe, the police chief, came to the door and exclaimed, “The Oidohombres have knocked down my house! We need Zuphixy to stop them!” Mr. Quzefuly said, “Well, he is not here right now, so we'll have to find a different way to stop them.”

Suddenly, Zoofixy Jr. came out of the room waving a bag of seeds, saying, “I found them!” Now, Mr. Stripe thought that they had found the flowers to give to the Oidohombres, so he said, “Ok I will give them to the Oidohobres.” Zoofixty screamed, “No!! I am planting them so that my grandfather and I can go back to the other world!” Seeing as they were both living wheelchairs, Mr. Stripe didn't understand why Zoofixy Jr. would want to go to the other world. He also didn’t know what the flowers did either. Mr. Quzefuly then said, “Don't you want my grandson to go get Zuphixy from the other world?” The police chief said, “Of course I would like to have Zuphixy, but do we have the time as they already started to wreck the city?!”

Zoofixy Jr. being the troublemaker he is, went out at night and vandalised the blade of the bulldozer so that when the Ear Men go to use it, the blade goes flying off, smashing the window of the bulldozer. What he didn’t know was that the Ear Men were watching him, and they kidnapped him. Mr. Quzefuly found out the next morning that his grandson was not home. He went to his work office and checked the city's cameras and tracked what had happened.

The Ear Men took Zoofixy Jr. to the old abandoned house.The ropes the Ear Men used to tie up Zoofixy Jr. were the same ones they used to tie up Zuphixy all those wheels (years) ago. As soon as the Ear men left, Zoophixy Jr. jerked his arms apart and the old rope snapped free. He got back home after his grandfather had gone to work. There was no way to let his grandfather know. At that time the Ear Men had gone into the town and attempted to burn down the school, which prevented Mr. Stripe from searching for Zoofixy Jr., which anyone thought was still kidnapped. Not that Mr. Stripe would have gone anywhere near the Ear Men without Zuphixy around.

When the Ear Men got back to where they had expected to find Zoofixy Jr. tied up, they got very mad when they didn't see him there. The Ear Men decided to start the trees on fire in the area. Some of the police captured some of the Earmen. Now because everyone else there are living wheelchairs, the prison was not set up for the Ear Men even though they were the ones that were there the most. They were stuffed in a single cell, crammed into each other, and having to bend over because the roof is so low.
