I open my closed eyes, only to find an endless expanse of rolling green hills and cloudless blue sky displayed before me. It is almost impossible to take it all in with one quick peek. The walls that have been holding me back all this time crackle, tremble and fall - they are nothing to me now. My tensed body unravels itself, and before I even have a spare moment to panic, the relief and wonderment of weightlessness take over. A glance to my sides reveals the spectacular, vibrant wings that have sprouted – delicate and light as feathers. I grin, and from then on, I know what to do. I take wing, and fly.
