The Gravity Of Shame
Daphne has a secret.
She's scared to speak of it. She doubts anyone will understand, even her closest friends. She only ever wanted to fit in, and so she's hidden her affliction for more than a year now. She's bought heavy boots, wears bulky jewelry, and ties herself to her bed at night, to avoid drifting away.
She's searched on Google to no avail. She thinks about seeing a doctor, but what if they want to do experiments on her?
In the end, she decides it's easier to float into the eternity of space than to admit she's gravity immune.
