“Delphine always wanted to pilot her father’s plane and when he forgot his keys on her tenth birthday, she knew that taking off would be easy.”
I remember that day clearly. I would have flown it, if I could have reached the pedals. Dad was furious. I thought he was upset over the plane.
“I can buy another plane,” he said. “I can’t make another you.”
Then he sighed. I think he knew what he was in for.
I never did fly his plane.
I did learn to fly over stairs with my skateboard. I flew down the slopes on my snowboard. By the time I was in my twenties, I was drag racing.
I graduated with a masters in astrophysics.
I think he let out a sigh of relief when I got married. He thought I was finally settling down.
He should have known better.
My husband and I got married so we’d be the first married couple on the Mars Colony.
The End
