The thing is," he touches the paint with his finger, "The bird only learnt what the man wanted it to learn. It only saw what it saw inside of the cage, unable to fly in the sky, unable to see the world outside, except that man." "So, at last it wasn't a bird anymore." "No, it wasn't, it was a prisoner.

It clattered against the marble tiles, the dead bird spilling out like a macabre offering. "Jesus Christ," I gasped, pressing my hand to my mouth.

She emphasized the importance of observation, urging me to pay attention to the world around me and find inspiration in the smallest of details. "A writer's greatest tool is their ability to see beyond what is apparent," she said, her eyes gleaming with wisdom. Just like I was manipulating magic, I closed my eyes, trying to concentrate on the wind around me. With legs crossed and fingers connected, I could feel the wind brush against my skin, the feeling calming me, as I could hear the rustling of leaves, the voice of the wind, and the cl
