Work Text:
How would you feel, isolated from the outside, with other people in a middle of four walls?
You can't even know that because you have probably a normal life, parents taking care of you. I had that life as well....had, now it's gone for forever.
I can't go back and tell Them that I don't need their money.
I should go outside, stretch my wings and let some fresh air into my lungs. When i opened the door i spread my wings, the wind was so calming, cold and somehing i needed.
"What's up dude?"
"Hey, nothing much I needed to go outside" I replied to my best friend Spoke. "How are you doing?".
"New stock just arrived, so I'll help Leo and Mapicc to unpack it" he said and left. We get a new stock every month. It floats down from the sky, like a hot air baloon. weird, I know.
When I look at these walls I can't help it, but to call this whole "experiment" as a Bird cage. Void, I'm a macaw hybrid. I tried to fly out of here, but these people that put us here were smarter than that. The sky isn't real, it's just an invisible barrier.
Everyone here have a lack of money, and at the end of this Bird cage experiment all of us will get a big prize. we have to live here 5 years and then, we are free.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-
The night came and i am sitting at my usual spot, the roof of my house. It's such a beautiful view, on the barriers, but if we forget about the barriers the stars are waiting for us, to come outside of this cage. The moon is whispering to me "it's going to be okay, just wait a little bit more".
We are locked here for a month, we have everything we need yeah, but still I can't wait to see my younger brother again.
We are completely okay with each other. No fights, no hatred, It's too perfect I would say. Something has to happen, very soon.

"nice knives you got there" a boy in checked shirt said to me.
"they are nice, Cube" i answered and continued to sharpen the knives. "Is the stock already unpacked?"
"yes it is, Spoke Mapicc and Leo finished it last night" he came closer to me, waiting what will happen next.
"great" I smiled "do you need something Cube?"
"No, I was just curious what are you doing, what happened to your eyes?!" he was looking at me, worried.
"Nothing, is something wrong with my eyes?" I was looking at him at this point, still holding a bigger knife in my hand.
"Uh, you don't look good Parrot, I'll go for someone to help you okay?" he said and suddenly went too silent.
I don't need help, do I?
A boy with checked shirt was lying on my floor, blood around him, on my hands, the knife and my face. I was looking at him with smile.

Cold gentle wind was blowing into my face, my hair falling into my eyes, while I looked at the moon again. Standing on the fresh dirt, with a dark red spots on it...
