“An apple a
day keeps the doctor away!”
William
Tell*
Well started
writing the short story I'm trying to get published. Also came up
with a few more plot points for my book. Huzzah!
Anyway onto the
flash fiction!
A Little
Bird Told Me
“Agent
Merlin, the kingdom is in dire peril.” The messenger blue bird had
the most disturbing soulless look in its eyes. I hated that look.
“What is it
this time?” I asked. I also hated talking to the possessed birds in
general. But enchanted birds were the best ways to communicate in all
the realms. Possessed and they could be used to talk directly to the
other person instead of just carrying a measly letter that could be
stolen or lost.
“The Dark
Sorcerers are moving operation Crazy Dragon forward. We have prepared
a magic carpet for you to leave for King Arthur's Castle to launch
counter-operation Floppy Goblin. The spell to activate the carpet is
'eat extra crispy'.”
“Anything
else?” I raised my eyebrow. I knew that my superior operative could
see me through the bird's eyes and whatever crystal ball he was using
to manipulate it at HQ.
“Yes. The
enemy has been scanning the memories of our messenger birds to spy on
our conversations,” my superior said to me.
“Which
means?” I shrugged.
“Take cover,
in twenty seconds this messenger bird will self destruct.”
