Unfinished Short Story 2 of 2

Iganon An unedited and incomplete project, cast aside to the forgotten folders of the hard drive. The Daily Friz Prologue             There is something not quite right in the air this morning. All the men freshly waking to dew covered weapons placed about their tattered tents. This is the morning of the last great battle, where all hope of victory is in the hands of the gnomes and their monster. The gnome’s great cargo anchored just off shore. Held in the largest ship ever commissioned by his lordship, that thing awaits to be our savior from the very first trumpet blast. There is something not quite right about all of this. I can feel it as though the morning fog is offering us one last chance to forsake this battle and our dealings with the creature.             “General, the men are fed and armed.” Captain Nairb is an ok lad.

Derrick began to recline back in bed when he heard the noise again, instantly jolting him back to the cause of his original wakefulness.             As he slid out of the bed, so smoothly as if he were a shadow slipping away from the sun rise, there came the soft spoken voice of hi...

I have been a bird owner for about 5 years now (Parakeets and Love Birds) and have noticed that no matter the size of the bird or the cage, they always seem to make a mess. Whether it's going to the bathroom in their food and/or water containers or just generally making a mess of their bedding, these little devils seem to be instinctively messy. Poop Tea - A bird's delight?      The waste material of a bird usually comes in three colors: clear, white, green or brown. The bile in a bird's digestive system may determine the ultimate color of the droppings, typically their waste is comprised of three parts urates, urine, and of course the feces. Now I don't believe that I have ever met someone who purp...
