Taking Flight -- Part Three

Well, this is it, guys. Part Three of TAKING FLIGHT. My brain is a little fried at the moment, so I'm not sure what to really post in the author's note at the beginning here other than the usual tedium: Enjoy. Don't copy without my permission. Don't let moon-eyed Goth musicians with a voice like Christian Bale's escape your French-manicured claws. Oh, and this is the final piece of Cayde and Abram's story.
You know, that old chestnut.

Taking Flight -- the Playlist

Some songs I hear on the radio or in movies provoke my Muse to respond. Like with Pablo Neruda, it tickles my fancy and suddenly I find myself in front of my computer typing a few lines (or when Lady Luck really likes me, SCENES, people!) or pulling out my phone to jot down some dialogue. While I was writing Taking Flight, a many number of songs gave my Muse all sorts of crazy ideas, hence why I rewrote much of TF one, two, four times over again.

Anyway.

Most of these songs are from the viewpoints (in my mind at least) of either Abram or Cayde. Some are from both. Like with the last playlist, if you hear any songs you like, PLEASE legally download them from the artist. Coming from the live music capitol of the world, it just IRKS me like no other when people pirate someone else's hard work. You may gain a free song (and hopefully a virus or two!) but the artist gains nothing - which defeats the point of putting out his/her art to begin with.

Okay -- I'll step off my soapbox now. (Sorry, but sometimes I just get carried away!)

Taking Flight -- Part 1

Huzzah! I've done it! It's taken me a few months, but damn, TAKING FLIGHT is here. First and foremost, I'd like to thank the Academy for their nomination and -- wait. Sorry, wrong speech. Got a little ahead of myself here...
I digress.
TAKING FLIGHT, like CAGED BIRD, was intended to be written as one story, but to save y'alls poor eyeballs, I've broken it up into parts. (At the moment, there are three.) TAKING FLIGHT is not nearly as long as its predecessor, but it packs a more emotional punch. TF flips back and forth between Abram and Cayde, as you will find out shortly, and has plenty of flashbacks, which you guys will need when you see what's coming!
Well, without further ado, here's part one of the sequel to CAGED BIRD:
