Little Wings

He was filling the empty white spaces between the green and purple squiggly lines with a red crayon when the throaty cooing sound coming from the window sash distracted him. He hastily walked to the closed window, stood on tiptoes and peered out.

The plump pigeon, with a short stout shimmering neck and a thin beak, was resting in her usual place. Next to her, were the tiny pink hairy creatures with fragile wings moving sleepily inside the broken shells.

“Mama! Come. Look. The babies are out!” the toddler gleefully jumped and clapped staring at the new squabs breaking out of the eggs.

Hi there!! This is Piyali. Welcome to my blog- Solitary Soul with a Chaotic Mind. To know more about me, kindly read on----A ravenous glutton for food, music, cinema, literature and basically all good things in life....in leisure when I am not occupied with any of these, I write. Professionally, I am associated with the writing and publishing industry for a little less than a decade now. However, I prefer to introduce myself differently by talking about things that I like to do in my spare time; things that deeply move me; things that evoke and stir the passionate soul in me. I am a traveler, though not the backpacking kind, rather an extremely relaxed unhurried one who loves visiting boring museums or spending hours sitting in a sidewalk cafe observing passersby. I am an amateur baker who occasionally loses herself in the sweet scent of vanilla beans, the light silky smoothness of flours, the sinful gooey goodness of chocolates and the soft delectable creaminess of frosting. I am a keen observer (in a non-judgemental way of course) of people and life in general. I am an avid reader who goes through momentary phases of acute depression or absolute elation while reading a book. This blog is an outlet for the blabbermouth lunatic in me who wants to share her thoughts, experiences, and anecdotes with the world. Through my constant ramblings, I intend to make a difference in your life in whatever little way possible.

    1. Thank you, Michael. O, probably I wasn’t able to describe his actions properly and that might have led you to think that he was going to break the window. I changed the related sentence a bit, do let me know if it’s correct now

      1. On reading now, I wonder what made me think so, the change has worked very well. The excitement of a toddler comes over even more.

  13. Lovely and cute story. Well done! …although I don’t quite see the connection with the photo prompt. I understand you pictured the door as a window. Is that it?

    1. Thank you, Rochelle. I’ve become a little irregular with my FF stories and normal blog posts these days. I was wondering if you had had missed my FF post last week.
