The Night Alex Almost Flew Over Old Lady Grayson's Place

Every kid in town flies over Grayson castle when they turn eleven. It is the town's rite of passage and now it is Alex's turn. He isn't sure he has the courage to accept the dare, but knows if he declines he'll lose all his friends. He takes the leap and survives the first part, but when he crash lands on the roof and a strange voice begins talking to him, he wonders if he'll get out alive. (short story)
