flying high

[purplefolk]

"He became so attached to the idea of this person and this flying and this life entwined that he was not sure what he would do if it did not become actual. It was odd, though, he thought, that while the notion of this flying was his, and he would be the driving force behind the carrying out of this plan, he needed another person, this new person in his world, to enable him to do it. He didn't want to do this flying alone; he would rather not do it than do it without her." -Eggers, "About the Man Who Began Flying After Meeting Her"

Cute short story (1 page, front and back), from his book of short stories: How We Are Hungry. Recommended. I also really like the story about the bakers. :P


Paintball tomorrow. I'm going to get grenaded upon.
