Fallen Angel
“Michael. Alive. Unhurt.
I could have killed him.
“How could you do that to me?” I yelled.
He had the audacity to smile. “Do what? Fly?”
“Trick me!”
I spun around, away from him and toward the car. Of course he had tricked me. The pieces all fit together. He had brought me to this secluded spot with this whole scheme mapped out to make me believe some crazy fantasy about our shared “difference,” whatever that was. And as a last-ditch attempt to convince me, he staged a “flight,” really a premedi...tated jump into some cliff-side niche he obviously knew well, followed by a “magical” reappearance. Why he had gone to all the trouble, I didn’t know. Clearly, he didn’t need to resort to sleight of hand to get me.
“Boy, this sure isn’t going the way I’d hoped,” I heard him mutter to himself.
I kept walking.
“Ellie, it was no trick. Surely you must know that the only way I’d survive a leap like that is by flying. I thought you needed to see the truth to believe what I’ve been telling you.”MoreLess
