Topic > Soar: A Narrative Fiction - 1284

Crawling, I try to find the warmth and beat of mother's heart; she did not return home from her trip. My feathers are almost frozen and my stomach rumbles and lurches. I panic at the cold shooting through my body. Mother's fluff and feathers are on the verge of extinction. Frostbitten and hungry, I stumble towards the oval opening in the cavity. A fresh blanket of snow covers the great forest. Mommy got redirected in the snow? I wonder. I sneak up on the rugged, unfamiliar terrain ahead of me. Just as I approach the edge of the bowl, a cry of mourning catches my attention. A lone wolf in the distance cries desperately to his brothers and sisters. Its howl is high-pitched and loud. He is a lost teenager looking for an underage companion. Shocked by surprise, I lean forward, leaning even closer to the outside world. I try to balance on the fragment of the cliff of the cavity. As strong as my mind is compared to the actual strength of my little body, I flap my wings as hard as I can. I have created a complete power that has never been achieved before in my entire being. I lift myself backwards into the rough interior of the cavity. Stunned by pure adrenaline, I lay on my back. A searing pain shoots through my vertebrae. Will I be strong enough to find mom? Once again I seek solitude without my guardian and life-giver. I look at the sky and discover the moon appearing in the darkness, piercing the silence of the forest. My mental attitude changes. The rustling sounds on the ground can be seen from the tallest pine tree in the forest. Rodents. The creatures devour every bit of disgusting food they can get. Mom told me that the food they eat is like their personality, rough and scary for any animal with a sense of... middle of paper... my miserable time in this horrible place where they put animals in cages. And that's when I saw the most beautiful Robin I've ever seen in my life. It had eyes that seemed to glow in the little light provided by the miniature sun. Red breasted with brown feathers that made his features unmistakable. It was you, Mom, who spread lovely vibes into the atmosphere to soothe my soul. The soft hands that had once saved me from a terrible end, laid me down next to her. I peered at the hard material, similar to my own, wrapped around his right leg. He struggled to walk towards me, but I, however, ran as fast as my little legs could stand. Those red feathers welcomed me home, enveloping me in a pampered warmth that I have forever missed. Now that I'm here with mom again, I understand. That it is essential to be with mom.
