Mage of Wolves
Could it be that the bird was still alive.
I didn’t know if there was anything I could do to help it even if it was, but I wanted to find out. Slowly, I moved forward, a hand outstretched. I thought about the dancing flowers and the feeling I’d had when I was trying to will the money back from being a fifty dollar bill into a twenty. I wanted this bird to live. I wanted it to be whole again, to lift its head and fly away. I tried to picture that, picture the bird pushing up to standing, spreading its wings, and taking off.
At first, I didn’t notice a difference, but as Ben was heading back toward the hood of the truck, I realized that the bird was moving. It wasn’t just a muscle twitch now.
