in new cars. The upholstery was a thick plush nap wonderful to the touch.
Outside it was a warm September day, with occasional clouds.
4589. Everything seemed to be conspiring to make Coromo's
first journey a perfect experience, full of perfect moments. The beauty of the
plane, and the perfection of the view out of his window did a great deal to
calm Coromo's anxiety.

runway, and the engines began to roar. Very slightly the thing began to move,
and a few seconds later Coromo felt that sensation that you yourself have felt,
he felt the back of his seat begin to press against his back.
4591. He thought those thoughts you also have thought, "this
huge thing, as big as a building, weighing so many tons, is going to go up into
the sky." The hair on the back of Coromo's neck stood up, and he felt that
rush of life there are no words able to express.
