The screen embedded in the seat glows too brightly for tired eyes.

I don’t know when I first started questioning where I belonged. Maybe it was when I was six, when I first stared at this screen.

Perhaps it was how far away that big, white bird seemed to be carrying me.

Perhaps it was the height — ten thousand times my own — that made the only world I had known till then difficult to spot from the little windows lining its belly.

But the further away the bird flew, the more my heart seemed to follow.
