I always enjoy your fifty word stories. This one is disorienting, in a fun way. FTM’s photo helped with that effect. Never would I have guessed that is a feather.

It’s a strange story and was somewhat inspired by Winston Churchill’s short story, Man Overboard!

I thought Fly’s feather photograph looked like a Ruffles potato chip 😀 Thanks for your comment, Oggy — I always enjoy your feedback.

I was wondering why it was so dark in here
as I tried to find the lite switch
with no luck
as I wait for excess
or a slow boat down the canal
Good morning Rose
Great read

I’m sure you birds will get together later and trade notes. Unfortunately, I have no idea. I sometimes just get remnants of an idea and have to fill in the blanks. Birds are so secretive! I’m constantly walking on eggshells when you guys are around 😀
