Flying High!




Today’s prompt: He itched to clear the ground, to look out and see nothing . . .

        Flapping his over-sized ears, Dumbo hopped but rose only an inch off the ground.
        “Try again,” Timothy Mouse said.
        Dumbo’s ears hung low. “It’s no use.”
        “You need a jump start.”
        Dumbo climbed on the lion tamer’s chair, jumped and fell trunk first into the sawdust.
        “I have an idea.” Timothy handed his friend a feather. “It’s magic.”
        Dumbo held it in his trunk, flapped his ears, and to his surprise, lifted up off the ground. Higher and higher he flew. Then swooped and dove.  He itched to clear the ground, to look out and see nothing but clouds.
