I liked this short story. It is about a young man who wants nothing more in the world than to fly. He tried to collect feathers to create a mechanism to help him fly. Days, weeks, months pass when he finally attains enough feathers to create his contraption and tried to soar out on his own which doesn't work out the way he planned. After hisfailed attempt he becomes sad and feels defeated. Until miraculously one day he gets wings which are unexplainable! He thinks he can conquer the world and fly until he takes his last breath which is sort of what happened. I liked the ending. Again, written very well. Kudos to the author who apparently knows their way with words.

This is a lovely piece of writing that both tells a tale and weaves a spell. Is there a moral to the story, or is it simply that little boys will always think they can fly? Must go and read more of this writer!
