I've always wanted to fly like a black Raven, squawking through the sky or a pretty Robin, singing during Christmas.

Then I realised that I could but there was one thing stopping me.. the height. My parents always said that I would fly one day, that I was really special!

Peering over the edge, I felt a prickle up my spine. Mommy stood beside me, a smile on her lips. She cooed lovingly and I couldn't help but smile.

I had to do this for her, the person I loved most.

"Ready, darling?"

"Mhm!" I called out.

I bent down a little, preparing myself for take-off.

"Now."

Another bird jumped off with me. I saw it, somehow, even with the wind blowing against my face. A little scowl formed across my face.

Why didn't I have feathers..?
