Description
Halfway into the hour flight from Pittsburgh to Dayton, the plane leveled off and the captain made the announcement that they were flying into outer space. The timbre of his voice was calm as if he were giving a weather report. "I see a new route marked out for us in the sky," the captain said. "Tiny white clouds shaped like anvils, pointing upward toward the panoply of stars. Below us are the Hopewell Mounds. Those grassy keloids where the gelid remains of a people from a braver age lie. Can you hear them cheering us upward? They're not worried that commuter jets aren't supposed to charge into the upper crust of the atmosphere. They know this plane: its limits and its failures. I can feel it too. Yet I want to do this for all of you: my crewmate, Penelope, sweet Penelope, and my passengers, sweet passengers. I left Flight Officer Brown in the lounge with his cognac, so place your hand over mine on the throttle and we'll etch a new vapor trail of greatness in the sky together. I love you all so very much."
