Dumb Birds Book Novels & Stories

"It feels like a place where you can actually hear yourself think. I bet you’d like studying here." "I would," I said. "It beats the noisy student center back home." We walked through the rows of books. Jax stopped. He pulled a small book from the shelf and handed it to me. It was a book of poems. "Read the one on page 42," he said. I opened it. The poem was about a bird that finally learned to fly after being kept in a gold cage. I looked up at him, my heart skipping a beat. I didn't know what to say. I just held the book.

Mandy York, my girlfriend, was practically a migratory bird that always flew away during summer. Every year, during July and August, which were the hottest months of the year, she would fly off and disappear from the face of the earth. She said that it was because her company gave her a special project abroad that required absolute secrecy from her. She was also not to contact anyone during that period of time. Even when I got into a car accident last year and lay in the ICU for two months, she never called to ask about me. Plenty of times, I had comforted myself and endured the harsh summer alone. One day, I accidentally saw the social media account of a friend of mine living abro

I forced myself to keep reading, my pulse loud enough to drown out the quiet hum of the coffee shop around me. The next line waited beneath the first, short, urgent, impossible to misread. *Whatever you do, do not trust the man you married.*

Slipping my reading glasses over the bridge of my nose, I pull out the small stack of papers from the envelope and start to read them. By the time I reach the last page, my stomach is in knots and my entire body is shaking with fury. This has to be some kind of sick joke or a god-damn miracle. Fuck me… Removing my glasses, I toss them onto the desk as I recline back into my chair, and close my eyes as I rub the sides of my temples. The sound of my heart pounding against my ribcage drowns out everything around me. Birdene Black isn’t just some little girl Olivia and Jaxson adopted out of the kindness of their hearts.

Strangely, the bird was observing her just as intently, an intelligence in its gaze as it watched the pages of the book open without her hand. She brought the book in front of her and glanced down to look at the photograph of the harpy eagle. The eyes were round and shining with intelligence, but they were not black. The eyes in the picture were a bright amber with a black pupil. She let out her breath slowly. Something was wron

This unknown identity had just insulted him. Meanwhile, Ibrahim’s eyes were sparkling upon seeing his distorted face. Bear hated to be called stupid, a lump of fat, chocolate, and softie. But, Ibrahim managed to creatively lump those words into a perfect sentence. “Move,” Ibrahim spoke to the two invisible birds. Flap, flap. The birds flapped their wings and went to succeed in their mission. “How dare you look at my beautiful brown fur and call it softie!” “Funny.” Chuckled yet again. “Why are you throwing such a fuss inside someone else's home?”

My feet sink into the damp earth below and I relish in the cool feeling. The path at my feet fades into the distance as it leads into the dark forest. A chill blows in from the forest and I shiver. Large willow trees line the dark path of the woods their branches hanging low as if ready to kiss the ground. The silence emanating from the woods leaves me wondering. It is so quiet not even the bird's crow and not even the wind whispers against the trees. I turn to face the twins. "Are you sure this is the right place?" I ask.

They wheeled through the sky, screaming. People outside stopped to watch. Damien's heart began pounding. One of the gulls flew directly toward the library. It struck the window, hard. Damien flinched. The bird dropped. Then, slowly, it got back up. It turned its head. And looked through the glass at him. Damien couldn't move. The gull opened its beak. No sound came out.

Inspiration Lewis Capaldi Hold me while you wait Chapter 1 Dawn Newberry walked onto the campus of the local college and could feel all the butterflies in her stomach take flight. She knew that she was different from every other person on the entire campus, and though she was special in some ways, different was not good when dealing with other people. She hated the idea that she was there. She was small and knew that she had mapped out the campus and had the map in her mind. She was going to take forever to get to one side and back. Her legs kept moving, though, knowing that she was probably going to be late regardless of whatever she did to try to make it on-time.
