One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest Novels & Stories

She felt it was washing over her, cleansing her, allowing her to let go of her past, to let go of everything. Just when Caitlin felt her first hunger pang, started to wonder when lunch might come, she suddenly heard a loud screeching overhead. She leaned back, covered her eyes from the sun, and scanned the skies. It didn’t sound like the usual bird. Blake must have heard it, too, because he also leaned back and scanned the skies. As they both watched, a huge falcon circled over them, again and again, coming in lower and lower. To Caitlin’s surprise, it finally dove right at them, setting down on the stone wall. It stared right at her and screeched, defiant.

Upon hearing that, the cuckoo on James’ shoulder flew away unhappily, as if being with James was a humiliation. “Where are you going?” James reached out to grab the cuckoo. It was caught before it could fly far. “Why do you have a bird?” Truett asked, confused. “It hasn’t even reached the Yuraeceon First Rank.” “Yeah, but this bird is quite pretty.” Xitlaly could not resist such tiny things. Her eyes shone brightly.

The twittering birds from the surrounding trees and the whispers of wind whirling through the Eden-green vegetation created a soothing earthly creation. I inhaled the sea scent mixed with the unpolluted oxygen. An endless smile found its way to my lips. I could live my life in such a surrounding. The view was eye-blessing and the place was far away from reality. An army of cuckoos emerged from the west side of the surroundings and flew across the sea, they all settled on a huge tree, acting as if they didn't just race. "This is amazing." I whirled to where Rodion was busy setting up a tent.

"Do you see that nest over there???!!! Go ahead and shoot it. If there is something residing inside that nest, then let us wish that it will be enough to drive the beast away!" Audrey pointed out to the direction of the nest. Jace nodded his head when he understands what was Audrey was planning to do. "Alright!!!" Jace shouted back. They have to shout in order for them to hear one another. The furious growl of the beast as well Nika's high pitch scream was too much of a nuisance in their conversation. When Jace releases the dagger in his hand and shoots it to the direction of the nest, it cleanly slices it from the attachment of the branch. The nest fell from the tree straight to the beast's

It was dark, the only light source from the shy moon and rebellious stars in the sky. A single bird suddenly flew overhead, chirping like it was trying to pass a message. She stretched her ears to listen, hoping it would give her the answer to break free from the maze finally. Just as she caught on to its first words, an enormous bird swooped in from nowhere and grabbed the smaller bird with its mouth.

The next day, Chris and his team of 30 men set off as they planned before daybreak. Chris had studied the route to the liar in the center yesterday and hence the team didn’t chance upon any unexpected encounters. Along the way, Chris noted the natural sounds of the forest; he noted that the most common sound was the cry of the little cuckoo dove.

After returning, Clifford sat in the courtyard, lost in thought. Suddenly, he heard a crack and looked over. He saw a bird's egg shattered on the ground, its yolk spreading out. As the servants cleaned up, one of them said, "Oh dear, there's a magpie nest in this tree, and a cuckoo has taken it over! I'll fetch a ladder to chase away the cuckoo, or it'll destroy all the magpie eggs." Another servant added, "Really, this cuckoo is shameless. Not only taking over the magpie's nest but also pushing its eggs to smash them. Once grown, it just flies away, leaving the magpies in misery!"

I said, stripping my hoody off, “Then we’ll work on those flailing kicks of yours.” As I turned and threw my head up, catching my breath, a large crow perched on a high branch. It ruffled its feathers and arched its neck, letting a screeching shrill escape its charred beak. The birds in this forest usually sing beautiful melodies that flutter through the air, dancing with the breeze. But the gentle song creatures hadn’t spoken a word all evening. “Maybe we should head in Lili, it’s late-” But before I could finish, another screech filled the air. Not the crow, but my little sister.

That's the logical decision. I know it, and yet... A flock of blackbirds descends from the heavens, flapping overhead as their strong raven-colored wings beat in perfect synchrony. They flutter into a twisted pine just in front of the van. One hops around on a low branch, calling out continuously with its melodic song. Its coal black eyes hone in on me just before it soars off into the sky. "Right," I say shakily, glancing at Jack. "Let's go."

The birds who were disturbed by the disrupting wind continued to sing even at the late hour of the night. When I felt I had enough of the fresh air, I turned to move back to my bed but instantly twirled back fast when I saw something moved within the forest from my peripheral vision. Alpha Rex wing is on the second floor of the castle so I could practically oversee the entire half of the large forest that separated this park with the blood moon park while I stood there facing my opened window.
