Nobody else could see them, but she knew they were there. Giant wings sprouting from between her shoulder blades. When she looked in the mirror she could almost see them. At times, she could almost feel them. Nobody else knew her secret. Nobody else could see them. But at night, in her dreams, she would fly. She would fly away from the earth and among stars where she belonged, where she had come from, and where she knew she would once return.
