story (100 word min.):
Standing on the edge of the cliff, I stared down, terrified. It was a looooong way down. What if I didn't catch the draft fast enough? Is this what baby birds feel like when they take their first flight?
"I'm going to gently push you off, and you're going to open your wings. The snow below will break your fall if you can't get it the first time." My mother stood behind me, her calm voice reassuring. I could do this! "3... 2..."
And then I was falling. The muscles in my back spasmed, and my wings flew out instinctively. They were weak though, and shook under the impact as I fell. No, I wouldn't fail! I straightened them as much as I could, grinding my teeth, and flapped once. Suddenly, everything was calm. I opened my eyes -wait, why were they closed?- and saw.... I was soaring! I couldn't believe I was doing it! I let out a laugh of excitement, my voice echoing back up to me from below.
"Momma, I did it! Look at me!" I cried, flapping a few more times to keep my elevation. My mother pulled up beside me, a wide grin on her face.
"You did it, my little songbird!" She beamed, her eyes sparkling in delight. "Let's practice landing, yeah?"
I nodded enthusiastically, ready to learn.
