the wind blows my hair as i stand on the edge again. a salty breeze caresses my face as i stare across the water. grasses flow around my legs and i can hear a seagull caw occasionally. i’m alone. this is what i want. this is what i’ve always wanted. i step off the again for the last time and fulfill my lifelong dream. as my wings sprout from my back and my legs shrink, i let a caw free from my beak. i am finally a seagull. to live the rest of my life in the air by the ocean, as i’ve always wished. i find the seagull that cawed before, and with it, i find a feeling of home.
