Catharsis #1: A Dark Bird, A Pancake, and A Pancake

[QuarterNote]

Light Bird said to Dark Bird, "Hey you!"

Dark Bird swiveled his head around towards the tenor voice, "The hell you want?"

Light Bird flew towards him and tweeted into his ear, "I need you to eat my pancake."

Dark Bird felt betrayed; he felt cold all of a sudden, like the world had frozen over in an invisible layer of frost. He thought of his friend, Jack Frost, and how he had once eaten a pancake of similar proportions.

Light Bird tapped his foot rhythmically upon the stone ground and looked up at the sky. He turned down and tweeted again – this time on his iPhone:

@DarkBird099 is a total loser. #pancake #chicken

Dark Bird saw the tweet and lashed out at him, "I will not eat your pancake you have no right to demand a decision from me at the moment."

Light Bird blinked, "Why not?"

"Because...."

"...that's why!"

Light Bird blinked, "YO MAMA'S THE BIGGEST LITTLE CITY IN THE WORLD!!!"

All the Birds went "OOOOOOHHHHH!!!!!!"

Dark Bird was hurt in the face and his left eyebrow.

Light Bird blinked, "Why do I keep blinking?"

Dark Bird had an idea!!! He stuffed the pancake into Light Bird's blinking eyes. They burst forth, bleeding syrup instead of that red ketchup.

Dark Bird bellowed, "Ha!! I knew it! You are secretly a pancake!! You just tried to feed your own kind into me. You are a killer of your own brethren!!"

Light Bird felt like shit. He fainted. Another bird, Medium Bird went to give him CPR.

"BREATHE INTO HIM!!!" Medium Bird yelled to Dark Bird.

Dark Bird stuttered, "U-u-uh, o-okay"

He bent down to the ground and gave him the Kiss of Revival.

"I so ship it," Medium Bird whispered under his breath.

Dark Bird went for another Kiss but noticed Light Bird's color starting to get even lighter. Soon, he would be White Bird.

"BREATHE INTO HIM AGAIN!!!" Medium Bird screamed.

Dark Bird's predicament was as follows:

After it all, Light Bird turned into White Bird. He had died, having his own kind stuffed into his eyes.

Dark Bird monologued, "You see Light Bird? You see now? You put on a mask for the bird world to see you as something inedible, a fellow bird. And you betrayed your own pancake kind by feeding a member of your own species to another. How cruel, how murderous are you. Your attempted pancake-slaughter was symbolic of your hate for your own self.

For the hate you have inside you, screaming against the way you were born. And now you have a pancake shoved into your eyes to really show you who you really are. I don't blame you for wanting to not be the victim for once, to be someone who victimizes, and we, as birds, have the same desire, for we are constantly being killed by lions and tigers and such. We can dress up as tigers, sure, but never would we betray who we are inside. And now you have learned that wherever you end up in life, you must never forsake the place from whence you came."

White Bird was put in a White Casket and brought to a White Funeral. Dark Bird was offered to speak, but his eulogy was terse and improvised:

@LightBird243 was a total loser. #pancake #chicken
