The kiss of the wind was empty--he couldn't kiss back. Once a god, he'd been cursed to roam the heavens alone. Until one day, humans joined him in the skies.
On the aircraft, she wore a uniform and jaunty little hat. She blushed when he smiled.
After several years, she disappeared. He searched for months before he found her again--without her uniform. "I was promoted. Ground supervisor."
He begged her to fly again. To be with him.
Crying, she said, "I'm sorry."
Once, he'd been a god.
Two hundred died in the crash.

Paralysis
She was there. Like she always had been, as if she were created immediately following the big bang. Waiting for him. Her long brown hair twisted and danced wildly in the lack of gravity. She was hauntingly beautiful, but her face was a look of terror and desperation. She mouthed wordless shouts, Ron only could assume she was yelling by the way the veins bulged in her neck.

The Book and The Lamp
Neil envied people who say they love sleep. Those who say they see it as a refuge where they can rest and renew safely. For Neil, sleep was never safe. It had always been a noisy, chaotic place. When he was younger, he was plagued with nightmares. For a while, thanks to lousy sleeping patterns that involved staying awake as long as he possibly could and waking up earlier than he should. The dreams he remembered were scarce these days. Until the book and the lamp started haunting him.
