Feathers
I looked to the sky and what my eye beheld was a flock of birds flying in formation in the air. Big and small, cooing and cawing, putting on a spectacular show. Daredevil tricks, diving, spinning, swooping low and grabbing each other’s feet in a strange aerial tango. While this happened feathers fell from their bodies and floated slowly in the air like snow, so strange yet beautiful. The street was showered with enough feathers to fill a quilt making factory. Still the birds flew and danced their odd dance and still the feathers fell. I was struck dumb.

This is a 99 word story I wrote for my final grade while I was in year 12, it was a huge challenge and went through several drafts before I was happy with the result.
This particular piece was inspired by a documentary about how birds of prey mate or select a mate I saw when I was about 7 or 8. The sequence was called the dance of death, where one bird would grab the other's leg and then toss it through the air. With this maneuver there was always the slim chance of one of the birds dying.
Anyway enjoy
