I soar through the air with the wind blowing through my wings and the tops of the trees brushing my wingtips, a warm thermal pushing me higher. With my superb hearing I pick up the sound of a click and the blast of a gunshot as a bullet hurtles toward me. I hopelessly try to dodge, but get hit in the breast. The steady flapping of my wings is halted as pain courses through my body. Next, I'm plummeting toward the earth and I think to myself, "Why is it always the innocent?" I take my last breath, never to fly again.
