Black Bird's Freedom - Five Minute Freewrite
Black Bird's Freedom
Trapped between two glass doors the birds wings thumped on the invisible barrier, vainly trying to reach the skies and lush green trees on the other side. The house was shut off for vacation but she had slid in the open chimney, swooping down into the enclosed sunroom. Frantically she swooped into a small window held up slightly by a small stick, her tail feathers pinged it from the sill and here she remained flying into one hard glass pane to the other until exhaustion overcame her. The sun beat in overheating the black wings until she huddled, panting with open beak, in the blazing sun.
A sound of a motor approaching frightened the bird and she scrambled under a wicker chair. Soon a crunching sound of rubber on gravel sounded close by and doors slammed, accompanied by the sounds of laughter and bags being placed by the door setting the bird's heart racing furiously.
The door opened wide and sun and fresh cool air flooded the room with a whoosh. The bird scrambled out from under the shelter of her hiding place and ran to air borne slipping effortlessly into the afternoon air and distant trees, startling the family with bags and child laden arms.
"How did that bird get in here? I wonder how long it was trapped here?" a slender brunette woman asked her husband.
"I'm not sure," her husband said as he sat the infant in his arms down. "This was surely what freedom feels like!"
