"I want to set things on fire,"
he said. The tree shook in front of him from the force of his foot.
He kicked it again. “I want to watch them burn!”
A small, iridescent bird flew out of
the leaves. It zipped around his feet and like a spider, it left
webbing behind. Black inky string kept his legs tied together.
He twisted and flung his arms up
angrily as he attempted to separate his legs, but the movement just
sent him to the ground. “Fucking greenbird!” His shout hung in
the air as the greenbird twittered.
