To the outside world,86Please respect copyright.PENANAEx5uWQTpRh
Eddy wasn't just something I made up. He was my first interaction with the outside world. As I quietly sat in my bedroom, watching the hours pass by on the old clock, a feathered creature crashed headfirst into my window. I was both shocked and scared, for I didn't even know what it was... well, that's not entirely true.86Please respect copyright.PENANAzY8dfFnDWZ
I knew what birds were, but the only birds I had ever seen were brightly colored, so you could imagine my fear of a black, menacing bird. I watched it flap around wildly before jumping back to its feet, giving me a pebble-eyed stare.86Please respect copyright.PENANAsCldmRpFir
I don't know what came over me, but I approached the window, staring right back at it. I pressed my tiny face against the glass and it uttered a caw, flying away, never to be seen again.86Please respect copyright.PENANALadLJoFNNe
I explained the curious bird to my mother, and she told me the black bird was called a crow. The only reason we don't see them that much, is due to it being warm outside. She explained that this week was fairly cold, as if we were slowly creeping towards the magical season known as winter.86Please respect copyright.PENANAFR6kfEVw4M
I waited for a few days, hoping it would stop by for a visit, but eventually, I knew it forgot I existed. It probably had a family of its own to raise, living a busy life, soaring through the skies. It wanted nothing to do with a lone prisoner.86Please respect copyright.PENANAXHY1T4A7cI
I drew pictures of the majestic creature, giving it suits, monocles, anything fancy. Oh what could be more fancier than a hat? As soon as I was happy with my work, he appeared before me, sitting outside my window, ready for an adventure.86Please respect copyright.PENANAutici7va74
