Prelude: Good Bye
My feet pounded against the sidewalk. My breath came in quick short pants. I was being chased. I didn't see them but I felt them. I felt their darkness drawing me in. Like a vortex.
Faster, faster. I needed to run as fast as I cou – no. No. No, I didn't need to run. I need to fly.
I lean forward, running faster and faster; preparing to throw myself into the air.
But that was all instinct. Old habits die hard right? I felt no sensation of any kind on my back besides the tingle of salty sweat rolling down the smooth skin. There were no beautiful sails of feather, muscle, and bone ready to launch me up into the air.
My wings were gone. Someone had removed them. Three guesses who.
"This is it" a mournful voice intoned "Good bye, Maximum"
