Flying in the Face of Fear by Kim "KC" Campbell

I turn the handle to the left and the plane rolls left. I turn the control handle to the right and to my surprise, the airplane rolls to the right. It is my turn to maneuver the precious metal.

My stomach is a trapeze artist doing flips in the air. My hands are clammy, and my entire body is shaking. I feel the sweat beads forming on my forehead. Everyone who reads it will be inspired to discover and nurture their own true courage.“It's all yours.
