I'm just another student hoping to go through a nice college and grab a half-decent job on my way out.
Wuthering Shrikes
Aug 01, 2020 3 years agoI sat on the deck, reading the newest novel I'd scavenged to entertain myself with. My glazed over eyes glanced at random words on the pages until I heard a voice. “Hey.” I looked up from the book to see a little goldfinch on the cage of my pet budgie. No one was around. I went back to my book. “Hey,” I heard again. I looked up only to find the same scene. “Come on, bust me out while she ain't looking,” I heard my bird say. I could hear the chirps, but at the same time it's Bostonian accent rang in my head. I hid my face behind the cover of the book and watched more intently. “You know I can't do that--” the finch started. “Of course you can! Now help me out,” “But it's against the rules,” “Let me out and we can vandalize this thing and leave,” The finch cocked its head as if thinking, then replied, “Fine.” I watched in awe as the finch fiddled with one of the three gates for the cage. “Did you get it?” my bird asked. “Nup pal, I can't lift the gate!” “Then get the big guns! What're you waiting for?” The finch sighed, “You know how they're like! Crows always charge extra! It's highway robbery! I don't got that kind of dough!” “Crows! When I say big guns, I mean big guns! I'm not trying to just escape! I'm an artist! I have to leave a message!” “Don't tell me you mean,” the finch leaned closer to the cage, “the birds of prey.” “That's exactly what I mean,” the budgie chuckled. “No way! I'm not going near those guys!” the finch squawked. “Come on! I'll give you some extra seed.” The finch turned its head in contemplation. At last it replied with a single chirp, “Alright.” And with that, it flew off. In the end I was left staring at a little green bird hopping around the perches, chuckling to itself maniacally. “Well, wasn't that a trip?” I mumbled to myself as I took the cage indoors, out of the 85 degree weather and got myself a drink of water.
