    Grasping freedom for the first time, the bird sat on the wire, wishing his family could see the majestic sight. His family had all been killed off by monsters, craving the touch of a bird's feather. He sat there, alone, taking in his last breath before his demise. His limp body fell to the ground with a small thump. The bird's body lay on the cold concrete, as snow fell upon the small body of the bird. His name was Stewart.
