Emma looked down at the long road under her aunt's bookshop. The normally busy intersection was pretty empty, considering the time of night it was. With her room on the top floor, it was a pretty far drop down, and Emma itched to know just how far.
That was a lie. Or, not a truth.
She wanted to feel the drop. She wanted to be able to glide down and feel the difference in altitudes, the different feels of the ground. She wanted to be graceful, not clumsy and awkward like usual. She wanted to feel the breath of wind on her back and flowing under her, steering herself gently over it.
She wanted to fly.
Oh, she knew she could do it. Her endowment was becoming a bird, transformation if you will.
But…
She'd never really done it on her own before. Of her free will.
That would be new. And probably extraordinarily terrifying.
But…
Emma breathed deeply. She was going to try it.
And it better work.
That night, a lone bird was seen cruising the streets near the chapel, twisting and gliding as smoothly as the wind.
Fin.
