Oscar had lain still for as long as he could. It was as if a lifetime had passed in such a short while. He felt himself beginning to push at the boundaries of his being. As he pushed a little more he began to see the warm light that comforted him during his period of rest. With a little more effort Oscar forced himself through the opening into the fresh air. He stood silently marvelling at the world around him. As he looked around he realized that something had changed. During his rest he had sprouted wings! He flexed and moved his wings in rhythm until he lifted away from the branch and headed off to explore his new world.
Perfect for this time of year!
It's so funny. Some students are totally in control while others are really struggling. I wanted to capture both sides of that in this story.
I felt like I was at Hogwarts while reading this! What a fun story. Love the creative solutions.
Me too! ;)
