I never understood why doves are a symbol of peace. I am a dove that is born with two heads, my other head keeps pestering me all the time, god I wish I could kill him now! He is so annoying!

The plan to kill him is simple, I would mix poison in his food so he would die after eating it. And then I could finally get rid of him! He talks to me all the time nonstop, he always had a lot to say. Meanwhile I am the type that does not like to talk and would like to stay alone.

Today, my other head started talking to me about how he saw a cherry blossom tree the other day and thought that it was really pretty and asked what I thought of it. I rolled my eyes and looked at the horizon in front of me. I hope that he would stop talking once he realize that I am not going to respond to him. But he only started pestering even more. He nudged me with his head and asked if we could fly to the park. Of course I did not want to do anything he wants to do so I shook my head. He started nudging me even more and started flapping our wings. I tried to go the other direction but he insisted on going to the park. He flapped our wings even more and took us to the park. This is becoming another reason why I want to kill him! Once we landed, he pointed to the cherry blossom tree he had talked about earlier and handed me a cherry blossom with his beak. I turned my head away and rolled my eyes. He looked at me for a long time and then he dropped the cherry blossom and finally said let’s go back home. I been waiting for that for a long time so of course I started flapping our wings to get back home.

That night, he was very quiet, very unusual of him. He would always try to cuddle me at night and try to talk to me. This time he only touched my head with his beak and then turned his head away. I was very happy for this change, he finally stopped being so annoying for once. I sighed a sigh of relief and went to sleep.

The next day he returned to normal again, brushing our feathers with his beak and looking at me with his dark eyes. I could not meet his gaze and that only made me more firm about killing him. I decided that I can’t wait anymore, I have to kill him today!

I tried to act friendly to him, telling him that I had gotten some berries for him near a big tree and asked if we could go there. He seemed surprised and thrilled, he nodded his head and beamed with excitement. We flapped our wings to the big tree that I was talking about and I watched in nervousness and excitement as he reached for the berries. But as I watched, my eyelids started getting heavy and I felt the world spinning, my thoughts are getting slow and I feel like I would never wake again if I close my eyes. Finally I couldn’t take it anymore and closed my eyes.

The other head’s pov

I watched as my other head collapse in front of my eyes. I had came to realize that he had wanted to poison me so I poisoned him before he could. How tragic I thought. When we were born, we shared the same body just two different heads. The first bird I opened my eyes to was him and I knew we were inseparable. I am so glad god had created us like this where one can’t leave the other. He is never going to leave me I thought. He could never look at me with hatred in his eyes anymore I thought. How could he look at me like that when I feel so happy all the time seeing him. I flapped my wings back home and climbed into the nest we shared. That night, I rubbed my beak against his head and kissed it good night.

Dove is not a symbol of peace but instead a symbol of tear and blood.
