Anniversary

He saw the pretty little bird, flitting from branch to branch, and he was captivated. He wanted to possess it. She flew to him willingly and went with him.

But she was never quite as lovely in her cage. Never quite the same as when he captured her. She didn't mind, sitting there in her comfortable cage.

But sometimes she wondered what it would be like

to fly again.
