When I was 9 or so, one of my favorite video game characters was a girl with black wings. For some reason, I started to believe I was growing wings like hers! I thought I saw 2 blackish purple stripes on my back where they would grow in. I marked a day on my calender when I thought they would poke out, and the night before I did a lot of somersalts knowing that I wouldn't be able to anymore, growing wings and all. I was so disappointed the next day...
