Come Fly with Me

The last day of the week. Everyone was tired.

However, one teen wasn't. He wasn't because it was a special day.

A day to fly, levitate and be suspended, unbound by Earth's natural laws.

He often said, "Come fly with me" to people.

They didn't have the time or they thought he was loony.

One day, however, he noticed a girl who felt alone.

A girl who felt like she was shut in by her parents, shut in from everyone.

He flew to her window and gave a sharp two-knocker. She rushed to the window.

Therein came the teen, who swooped from above.

He said to her, "I noticed how you were feeling lonely." She nodded.

He then said, "Well, if you are and you have nothing to do, come fly with me."

She was nonplussed. He then sagged and explained, "Of course, you don't believe me. None of you do. However, they say is that seeing is believing!"

He then jumped out the window and flew, full of excitement and wonder.

She was looking, gazing at the fact that he could do what she couldn't. Find something to do.

She then closed her eyes and dreamed about the possibility of flight. The one thing that could make it all worthwhile.

She let go. "What are you doing?" The boy asked.

She fell. "No! Don't!"

She flew. Miraculously, she started to do what he could.

He was bedazzled. He asked her if she wanted to fly with him.

She agreed. What else was there?

They soared around the town. Through buildings, streets and even the cloudy night sky.

They didn't care about the world. For the world couldn't do what they could do.

Finally, they protruded the sky. Dashed around clouds, swiftly through the purplish landscape that was the sky.

They played tag, they raced each other and they had a marvelous time. She was forgetting that she also had somewhere to be.

Instantly, Ben struck 9. It was time to go home.

She looked at him in confusion and despair. He, of course, knew the look, it was one he acquired time after time.

Their fun was at an end.

He took her home, thanked her for the splendorous time they had. She also did the same.

Her parents called for dinner, she raced downstairs.

He looked on and smiled.

For there was nothing less nor nothing more of fun.

There was only them.
