Dreams with Open Eyes
by dilly r
At seven years old, Cid was arrested for riding the side of the Midgar train. His first goggles were made from an old pair of glasses and duct tape.
At nine, he started soapbox racing with the neighborhood kids. He made his first working engine from spare parts at twelve. He left Midgar for test pilot school at twenty-two.
Cid saw the sky for the first time that year.
He was glad that he'd been born in Midgar. If he had been born under that sky, he would never have loved it as much as he did at that moment.
