High Flyers

Fliers

We were so high up that the thrust of the wind was whipping past our faces. We could see everything. The world was clear and divided into a neat green and brown chess board. We moved and the pieces moved with us as if by osmosis. We could have finished the journey and made it a checkmate, but we had to be back, on earth, and the only other move we were able to make, was to force our feet to the ground.
