For what bares high the body may also give flight to the soul.” From The Wings of Merlin		“Wings are far more than feathered arms. They are part mystery – and part miracle.

	I nodded quietly. “O.K. I see your point… I need to sort out all my feelings though, these last couple days have been one hell of a rollercoaster ride”. I walked out to my garage. I got on my bike and rode off, smiling as the wind blew back my hair. Flight was so much better it wasn’t even funny.		I nodded quietly. “O.K.

	“We don’t know how much we can fold them…we may be able to look normal in loose clothes. We worry about one problem at a time, O.K.? First is this DNA treatment. We can’t escape, I doubt we can fight, so we take it. Then, I don’t think we’ll just be free to go. We’ll escape here, and maybe figure out if there is a way to undo what will be done to us. Got it?” Where the hell was all this coming from? I was not a leader.		“We don’t know how much we can fold them…we may be able to look normal in loose clothes.

	I muttered a curse under my breath, and then clenched my wings as tightly as I could. Well, we could fold them in tight enough to slip a windbreaker over, so no worries with us never being able to blend in. Yeah right. As I walked to the field, my mind filled with worries. When could I go home? Could I ever lead a normal life? What if the wings don’t work? What else in my body was changed?

When could I go home? Could I ever lead a normal life? What if the wings don’t work? What else in my body was changed?

	I walked out toward the field, then found about 30 winged mutant kids had already woken up, and were exploring like I was. I asked some of the older kids how their ‘operation’ went, and got stories similar to mine. Several kids were trying to fly. The range of motion was off. Our wings were attached to our backs, maybe our shoulder blades. They were flapping perpendicular to the ground, so the best they could hope for was to blow themselves down. I stretched out my wings and tried to figure out what I could do with them. I maneuvered my wings several ways, but could not seem to be able to get the wing to ‘cut’ the air at a parallel level to the ground. After I figured that, hopefully a running jump could get enough air movement for a takeoff.

	BAM!		BAM!
	I stumbled and nearly fell over. Spinning around, I glared at a big kid (10 bucks says he’s a football star). This kid was unnaturally ripped. It was almost disgusting how big his muscles looked. Then I noticed something quite crazy. He did not have wings. Somehow stopping my mouth from dropping open, I said, “Hey, watch where you’re going!”		I stumbled and nearly fell over.
