Childish Dreams, by Allen Stroud
It’s beautiful, up there, in the stars.
When I was a child, I used to watch the spaceships. Mother bought me a book, and I learned about Cobras, Vipers, Asps and Pythons, named from old Earth animals, they say.
I asked Father if we could ride on a spaceship, he said no. They scan your eyes, to make sure you’re the owner. “Retina scanning," he said.
I went to the spaceport and asked if I could fly. The pilot man laughed and told me to get lost.
I took his eyes and his ship. Now I fly anytime I want.
