Jim won the game. He took off his shirt and put on jersey with open sides. Jim put one wing on, and he felt it attach to his back. There was a quick sensation, like it had melded with his skin. Rick helped to put on the other.
" Let's see you fly," Rick said.
" Outside." Jim and Rick went out into the back, and Jim took a running start. He lifted off into the air, and he fluttered a few feet off the ground. It was an unsteady flight, but he managed to land unharmed.
" Not exactly like an eagle," Rick commented.
" It's harder than it looks," Jim answered. " It was my first time. I'd like to see you try it."
" Take them off and let me."
Jim pulled at the right wing, but it wouldn't come off. " Rick, help me get these off." Rick pulled hard on a wing. " Ouch!" Jim winced in pain.
" Jim, I can't get it off," Rick said.
" Don't tell me I'm stuck like this."
