As angels fall

The discovery

As I stared dumbfounded into the mirror I saw on my bare back a pair of angel wings. Not real, but vividly tattooed in a full back piece. I touched one and gasped as I felt feathers under my touch. I immediately put my shirt back on and ran to my phone in my room...well flew. I still don't know how these things work. I saw my phone just sitting there on my nightstand.
