Muichiro Paper Airplane Novels & Stories

The people had their eyes glued to the ceiling in fascination. The fifteenth plane landed nose first in the Jogging Grandma's cup of Chocolate Dream Castle. She burst out laughing, and everyone burst out laughing. Then someone called, "Hey, can I make one too?" Before I could stop her, Karmen was handing out papers and everyone was engrossed in the art of paper airplane-making. She even taught them how to fold and make their craft fly high. In no time, they came up with a competition for whose paper airplane flew the longest. I had to contribute the prize of ice cream sundae.

I folded up the paper on the desk and headed out once I made the paper airplane. Even though I knew it would be impossible for me to even get close enough to the barrier I got myself ready to throw the plane in the air so it could fly. Once the plane left my hand it flew for a good minute before it started to fall straight down. I didn’t care when this happened since I knew it wouldn’t even get close to the barrier.

Unlike the others, Mikaela couldn’t join the hospital visit to Nate three months ago. Mikaela stands up and confidently answers: “There are two. The normal paper plane and the bat plane.” What Mikaela is referring to is the Filipino kids’ version with curled-up wings. You grab a pen and twist each wing around it like a hair roller. “I think that second one,” Nate says, “is more for decorative purposes or acrobatic feats. The real bat plane flaps its wings as it flies.” Seven pairs of eyes widen.
