Heading West Part 3: My Opinions on Flying

My opinions on flying- it is quick, you get that odd god-like feeling looking down upon the world- flying through oddly sedentary clouds. I thought clouds would be a lot more active in the center as we flew through- but not so, they do however make for some quite complex topography- hills and valleys for their all white kingdom.

I even saw what was either a butterfly or the Bat-signal raining shadow onto a town below and marveled that the people of that town might never know the benevolent forces watching over them.

I found in a few short minutes how different everything was from up here. With the last item I could point out being the quite full Weir. Then I experienced a problem exclusive to both gods and those continually on a plane- everything starts to look the same, and the few differences are insignificant.

This time I was lucky to be flying Quantas as they offered complementary packaged water, tea and lemon slice (frozen, and too sweet for my tastes, but free food nonetheless). I had been placed in the emergency row- and it was my duty to aid in an emergency- my first flight and I already had responsibilities over lives. I took this as a sign of good things to come.
