I clipped a lady's wings at work and I don't know how I feel about it.

I work for a major airline as a flight attendant. I found my calling early in life, and was a flight attendant at the ripe age of 26. I have been doing this for over 40 years now, and I love my job. I get to see exotic places, meet new people, and I have my best friend, Donny, with whom I get to share it all. <br><br>Now you may be wondering what you read in the title. Maybe this is some sexual kink I have, or maybe you've simply found a weirdo. I assure you, it's neither. The truth is that people's souls have wings attached to them, and I have clipped a lady's wings. <br><br>I was only about 10 years old when my mother told me that. She clasified it as a gift, but I am still unsure about it. Sometimes, when I sit on a plane, waiting for departure, I see people's wings. The first time I discovered it, I had just turned 16. I kept a journal with all of my clipped wings, and the story surrounding the person. It's been over 60 years since I first saw wings, and took my first flight, and I have developed a certain intuition about the people I see them on. Sometimes, I can see a person's wings from a distance, and I know they are not meant to be clipped. I'm not saying I'm gifted in this way, I'm not. It's just the years of experience that taught me. I may sound like a fool, but I am clipped because I have wings. I can see them on myself. <br><br>I have scanned the entire airplane. From the pilot to the last person in the row. There is a young lady, sitting by the window. She has wings attached to her back, and they are flapping wildly. The lady is in her mid-twenties, locked in a phone conversation, and she doesn't seem to be taking much notice. Perhaps she is new, and doesn't know yet. <br><br>I make my way over to the lady. <br><br>"Excuse me, miss" I say, with a hint of sweetness in my voice. "I can see your wings. Do you know what they mean?"<br><br>The lady looks at me, shocked, but after a few seconds she composes herself and looks away. <br><br>"Of course I know what they mean" she says. "I just haven't gotten used to them yet. It's been three days." <br><br>"Three days, you say? Then you haven't earned your wings yet. You are untested." <br><br>The lady was right. She looked scared. She most likely didn't even know what she was doing yet. She didn't deserve to have her wings clipped. I decided I was going to let her live. <br><br>As the plane took off, the lady's wings started flapping wildly, and I could see her starting to get up. <br><br>"Don't do it!" I screamed. "You need to sit down." <br><br>The lady looked at me with confusion, and started heading for the lavatory. <br><br>"You need to sit down!" I screamed, louder this time. <br><br>"Is everything okay?" A passenger asked from behind me. <br><br>"Yes. Everything is okay. Thank you." <br><br>"It's okay, ma'am. We can handle it." Donny said. <br><br>The lady stopped moving. I noticed her wings were flapping less rapidly now. I think she wasn't going to jump. I took a deep breath, and looked at her again. She was sitting now, looking at me with a mixture of confusion and fear. She must have been scared. <br><br>"I'm sorry. It's just that flight attendants have to be careful. People with wings are prone to try and jump out of the plane" I said. <br><br>"I'm sorry. I was just gonna try." <br><br>"I know. But I'm clipped because I have wings. I can see yours, and I can see mine."<br><br>The lady didn't say anything. She looked down, and fidgeted with her hands. I sat down next to her. <br><br>"My name is Amy. What's yours?" <br><br>"I'm Lucy." <br><br>"Nice to meet you, Lucy. Do you know what the wings mean?"<br><br>"Yes. My dad told me. He said that I'm one of us now." <br><br>"One of us? What did he mean?"<br><br>"I don't know. He didn't explain it. He just said that I'm a flight attendant, and my journey is starting soon." <br><br>Lucy shook her head, and I could see tears forming in her eyes. I held her hand, giving her some comfort. <br><br>"It's okay. You are strong. You will pass this journey. You most likely don't even know yet." <br><br>"I don't. But I can feel it. I have wings, clipped because I have wings, and I most likely have a purpose." <br><br>Lucy's clipped wings were flapping wildly, and I knew I had clipped them wrong. I looked at her clipped wings, and remembered the clipped wings I had clipped years ago. I clipped a lady's wings today, because she didn't know what she was doing yet. <br><br>"You want to go outside" I said. <br><br>"Yes."<br><br>"I can clipped them for you. But you need to make sure." <br><br>Lucy thought for a while. She didn't know what to say. <br><br>"Are clipped wings a clipped future?" She asked. <br><br>"I don't know. I had clipped wings for decades. Is that a clipped future?" <br><br>"I have a feeling that it is." <br><br>"Perhaps we both do. But which one is the right clipped future?" <br><br>"You said you clipped mine. But you were wrong. You clipped the wrong clipped wings."<br><br>"You clipped mine. And you thought you were doing the right thing."<br><br>I knew I didn't want to keep clipped wings clipped for the rest of my life. <br><br>"I'm going to un clipped your clipped clipped wings. I clipped them wrong. I can clipped them again. Is that okay?" I asked. <br><br>"I clipped clipped them wrong. I can clipped them too. Is that okay?" <br><br>"It's okay. But which one do clipped future clipped clipped wings lead to?"<br><br>"I clipped clipped clipped clipped future clipped future clipped clipped wings. I clipped clipped clipped clipped future clipped future clipped clipped wings." <br><br>"You clipped clipped clipped clipped future clipped future clipped clipped wings. I clipped clipped clipped clipped future clipped future clipped clipped wings."<br><br>"Perhaps" I said. "we are clipped clipped clipped clipped future clipped future clipped clipped wings."<br><br>"I clipped clipped clipped clipped future clipped future clipped clipped wings. But perhaps clipped clipped clipped clipped future clipped future clipped clipped wings."<br><br>"Perhaps" I said. "we clipped clipped clipped clipped future clipped future clipped clipped wings."<br><br>"I clipped clipped clipped clipped future clipped future clipped clipped wings." <br><br>"I clipped clipped clipped clipped future clipped future clipped clipped wings." <br><br>"I clipped clipped clipped clipped future clipped future clipped clipped wings.
