Story 1.
Flutter
The short brown creature skips through the misty, grey forest scurrying and scampering through the dead overgrown grass, the flowers trampled by its little paws. The cobwebs broken into nothingness, birds flying overhead, leaves crunch and crack as the creature takes flight. The birds that were flying overhead had suddenly scattered. The leaves on the trees slowly plummeted to the ground. Rain starts to pour and the river's currents pick up speed. This noise frightened the animals but they did not scamper away like usual, instead they drifted more towards the river like they were in a haze. The creature stopped and called out trying to get them to stop. It called out and cried trying to get them to stop moving towards it. Suddenly as if something clicked in them all they stopped and everything went silent. It was so abrupt the leaves crunch gone, the river's whoosh as water came speeding down it gone, the trees sway had silenced, the owls hoot had been hidden. Nothing like this had ever happened before. After a long five minutes the sound returned. The creature continued its flight, it dodged trees and flocks of birds as it flapped its long wings then glided through the air slicing it like a knife through butter. The creature had flown so much before sunrise so it decided to take a rest for the night in the city. It was flying over In the morning, the bird had found he had woken up before the sunrise, before the city, before the other birds. The bird had decided to go looking for food as he had woken up and early bird gets the worm. While hunting the bird had found a bunch of keys laying across the floor and didn't know where they have come from or where they lead to.
