Him like dynamite. Jonathan Seagull exploded in midair and smashed down into a brickhard sea. When he came to it was well after dark and he floated in moonlight on the surface of the ocean. His wings were ragged bars of lead but the weight of failure was even heavier on his back. He wished feebly that the weight could be just enough to drug him gently down to the bottom and end it all. As he sank low in the water a strange hollow voice sounded within him. There's no way around it. I am a seagull. I am limited by my nature. If I were meant to learn so much about flying I'd have charts for brains. If I were meant to fly at speed I'd have a falcon's short wings and live on mice instead of fish. My father was right. I must forget this foolishness. I must fly home to the Flock and be content as I am as a poor.
