You stare at the sight of dark brown, huge feathered wings that shadowed you. They silently twitches around, as if shrugging off its knotted muscles, furling and unfurling slowly as it stretches. Somewhere in you mind you recognized that those belonged to an owl. You looked around, hoping to see a huge owl looming over your back. But as your eyes traced the wings back to your second set of shoulder-blades right underneath your original...
Your breath hitched. No, its not your imagination. The imaginary pulling of unfamiliar muscles match to what you've seen the wings were doing. From the light ruffles of the feathers to the folds of the joints.
"HOW?!" The shock caught up to you. Unfortunately, the brand new grown appendages did the same and unfurled to their full length, more than triple of your own height, and start flapping in panic.
"WOAH!WAITSTOP!" You can only scream as you suddenly found yourself high in the air. You can fly?! But humans can't fly! Humans doesnt even have wings! The logical part of your mind protested.
With that thought, your wings flaps faltered and you started falling. Problem is, with your panic you had already flown higher than a hundred feet into the air.
Oh and now the fear of height caught up to you. Freakin-tastic, great time to be having a height fright. Mild, where you have no problem climbing up but get cold feet of climbing back down kind of thing. Made standing by the edge of a skyscraper glass window terrifying.
Now, why on earth did one with fear of heights have no problem with wishing for flight? Well, because usually those things does not include oneself using their own limbs to fly. And you were hoping for a helicopter or a plane with stable floorings and tucked safely inside their casing, not wings where one would be dangling from nothing but from your own self from a very, very high position in the air.
"AAAAAAAAAH!" You frantically tries to work the wings. But all you manage to do was a number of ungraceful barrel rolls in the air and slap your own face with your own feathers as you fell.
