Whew this is going to be a loooong day. I've been writing for several hours and I'm still only at the beginning! It's so long in fact, I feel that I should give a sneak peak! The following is text from the actual day.
The figure was staring at me intently, still as a statue. I shivered as I returned the gaze. I stood there patiently for the man to speak, but he did not. After several minutes of waiting, I decided to speak. “Who are you?” I croaked. I hadn’t realized how dry my throat was.
The red eyes fell onto the chains. At first the creature screeched, but I wasn’t surprised. I knew somehow that the being was simply trying to find a frequency audible to humans. It finally found one, but what came out were 2 voices. I heard a child’s voice, but it was being overlapped by a deeper, almost demonic voice. “Struggle…” The voice said. *Used…” it said desperately. It was a sound of pure sorrow that brought tears to my eyes.
“I want to help you.” I shouted through tears. “Tell me how!”
“Take…” Said the being. A red feather drifted down from the sky, and landed on the ground next to me. I picked it up and examined it. It was about 8 inches long with a whitish-red spine and – of course – dark red feathers. It was gilded in black around the spine and the edges.
The creature fell to its knees; instinctively I ran to help it. But no matter how far or fast I ran the creature never got any closer. “Power…Failing…Sorry…” Its last word was barely audible as the creature collapsed to the ground.
