Flying
Rainie Oet


Alexa is falling, falling and looking at everything around her, and it's all wonderful, but she can't grab onto anything, because everything is also falling, which she realizes when she tries to grab onto a room that spins toward her. She talks to someone in the room who tells her the room isn't falling, it's flying.
