Pretty much perfect, James - the smoking, flight and the absurdist phasing between human and bird, all to give it some strange force to knock it in to the reader's mind. Excellent stuff, really enjoyed it. Really outstanding prose too.
beautiful. loved the anthropomorphism. loved all the bird wirds...maybe i missed some before i realised you were doing it. feels like it came out pretty quick this one. You really got the human condition yet shaped around a bird body and the relevance of finches to evolution and then the evolution of spirit. great work James. uplifting. blue skies breaking through clouds. 🐦⬛🌞
I couldn’t resist dropping the occasional bird pun but the heart is always where it’s at for me. Thank you for reading and leaving the kind words, so happy to hear you enjoyed<3
Such a cool story. I especially liked the description of smells, and how I was able to see the unique physicality of the characters so clearly. Well done.
