Microfiction Quote Quotes

“I didn't see it coming.
That the great ospreys of the wetlands were after us.
I was just basking in the sun, regurgitating with my offspring in our knitted nest.
Ospreys said they were taking us under their wings.
That we never had to worry about food ever again.
Days went by, I realized they took our flying away."
Birds of Prey--They Move Away Like Waves.”
― Mehreen Ahmed, They Move Away Like Waves
