Hatchday

By: Frostwolf

 

So dark, so dark, it is...

but warm, so warm.

within a shelled womb

*wobble wobble wobble*

hey? what's going on?

quit it you jokers!...nestmates

*rolls eyes*

there...waitaminute...

a crack...I can feel it

slivers of light-heat

it's crouded in here.

lemme out! *panics*

here I go *clenches beak*

THWACK THWACK THWACK

owie! *rubs beak*

More light..but it's sorta cold out

ah well...

BANZAI!

SUPERTHWACK SUPERTHWACK!

*slams beak against shell as hard as he can

making the crack far larger*

CRACK!
*crawls out of the shell*

*lets out a large keen*

I can feel the light fade some...

sunset...

hungry...
