Sitting on this ugly rug, my sisters and I were lamenting about this inheritance.

"Holly's grandparents owned a ranch. All we got was a rug," Marlene, the youngest said.

"It isn't even that comfortable," frowned Josie, the middle child. "I'd be more lenient if it was at least comfortable."

"Hey, at least tassels are trendy now," I joked, as I fiddled with one of them.

"Wouldn't it be cool if this carpet could fly?" Marlene said wistfully, to which Josie rolled her eyes.

"Everything isn't a Disney movie, Marley," she said.

"You wouldn't know unless you tried," the youngest protested, "Carpet, fly!"

All of us were stunned when the carpet hummed, and then lifted and hovered about an inch off the ground.

"Holy..." breathed Josie.

"Wait 'till Holly finds out about this!" Marlene squealed, excitement barely contained. "Carpet, forward!"

"Mar-" I started, but the air was taken out of my lungs as the carpet zoomed out of the living room and out the door. I gripped the edge and hoped that I would survive to see the end of the day.
