      When my phone alarm chimes, I fish it out from the pocket of my cargo pants. I’ve forgotten, with the time change, to turn off the reminder. I’m still groggy with sleep, but I open the date and read the names: Iris Vale. Eun Ae Kim. Alan Rosenfeldt.

      You fly by diving, speeding, getting to free-fall, anything that generates enough velocity to get the wings lifting, from there it’s the angle that provides upward momentum, but you have to manage the angle and the speed or you fall, and if you don’t have enough air under you, maybe you never stop falling.
