Bizarrely, even before I read the commentary below, Tom and his wing fixation came to mind.

The story was fab. I’m still thinking about what I think it was about. It doesn’t get better than that.

Was it the one where I told you I wanted to die by jumping out of an aeroplane?

Seriously dude, thanks. I’m flattered, because Its beautifully economical little piece: World-built, science-explored, pathos-built

Job’s a good ‘un

First time I've missed my self-appointed Friday deadline since the start of this project. Technical difficulties. I've previously posted two stories about jumping from a great height. Apparently it's a fixation of mine: my future literary biographers (ha ha) will find plenty of psychoanalytic food for thought there, I'm sure. Actually, I posted it just after this appeared (quite coincidentally), so perhaps I'm not the only one. Dedicated to and inspired by wingsmith, who may not even remember the conversation that led to this story...
