The bird who could talk
Every day, a small bird named Harper, would fly around this one house that wasn't close to town and had no neighbors, it was peaceful and calm there, the bird never interacted with the people who lived there but did let them feed her, one day, a little boy named Hunter, moved into the place and had noticed Harper every single day.
The boy had no friends, but nor did he ever try to interact with anyone besides his family, the bird and boy were similar in different ways, hunter had begin to notice this too, how both had spent their days alone from people, and one day, the boy comes outside with small bread crumbs from his house and offered them to the bird, "Thank you, young one." harper voice was soft and welcoming, Hunter didn't expect this from a normal bird, "You can talk?" harper nods, Hunter blinks many times before realizing he wasn't dreaming.
He spent every day with the bird, they had became friends and loved each other's company, but one day, Hunter finds harper with a broken wing, and ever since that day, Hunter had took harper in and protected her, every single day.
