Nobody had seen the boy at number eight, but every evening a paper aeroplane flew from his balcony.
The planes landed in gardens and on rooftops. Each carried one question.

What are you afraid of?
What do you wish people understood?
One evening, I wrote an answer and folded it into a plane of my own.
