You had been here once before, but the place looked nothing like you remembered. Probably because the world isn’t ending, you figured, peering down at the landscape below. Though the battle that had raged here hadn’t been long ago, the briny plains bore little evidence of its epic proportions. While the earth was scorched here and there, today the autumn tide covered most of the land, providing a near perfect reflection of the sky above—something you had noticed almost immediately as you soared along, admiring your undercarriage. Pleased with the view, you doubled back, this time at a more flattering angle for added effect. If only you could be seen from this perspective all of the time, you thought wistfully, though you supposed it wouldn’t be fair to the rest of the world. Surprisingly, so many ladies were immune to your boyish charm, but this! This they just wouldn’t be able to resist. Guffawing heartily to yourself, you swooped off again into the sky, ascending until your reflection was only a pale smudge on the water’s surface. Up here near the clouds, you found that you could think more clearly. Not that there was much to think about per se, but you liked the idea that you could literally look down on your life from above to gain a new perspective. Here, the hustle and bustle of the world faded away, and there was only the sound of the wind and the birds and the beating of your own wings. It was nice, you thought, caught up in the ambiance of it all and feeling rather philosophical. Real nice. trouble just grew wings |
