So I'd been in one before, I guess. I could still remember the first time. I just slumped down, and didn't look. I was afraid to. The balloon went so high. Right after it took off I could remember seeing the forest below me, but I shut my eyes to it. I was afraid to face it.

But today was different. I can't remember who was in the balloon with me. Probably just a few friends I only knew in dreams. The balloon took off today, and the black memory of before was lost when I realized how beautiful the world really was from up here so high. I couldn't believe there was a time I could have shied away from this beauty. The trees below were thick and green and I wanted to get closer...

The person flying the balloon came close enough to the ground where I could hold on to the balloon and run on the ground at the same time. This was my chance to get away. I could have gotten off at this point, but I stayed in the balloon. I genuinely wanted to continue the flight. The trees slowly got small again as the journey continued.

and I was happy.

Go Back
