The Hummingbird It was the middle of the day, boring as any other day in summer had been, and it was raining, which was actually perfect. I loved rain. Usually, I would sit on the front porch to watch it, and listen to all of the sounds of rain. The crashing, yet calming thunder, the soft putter of rain hitting the ground, the distant sounds of small, flowing streams of water, everything. But, today was different, I don't really know how, but it was. I casually walked to the front door and stepped out to do as I always did, and looked around. There was an unusual glow of pink floating in the air. It was strange, it was like the sun was setting, because sunsets here can tend to do that sometimes, but that wasn't possible. It was the middle of the day, the sun wouldn't be setting for a while. I stepped into the rain for a better look, to find the sun hidden behind a few clouds, surrounded by a soft glow of pinks, oranges, and yellows. So thats what it was.. It was beautiful. I slowly wandered around the yard, letting the small drops of water fall on me. Just as i reached my mothers flower bed, the rain began to subside. I stood there, studying the different colors of each flower, though one flower in particular caught my eye. Though it was in a small patch of flowers much like it, it was different. It was a vibrant purple petunia in the middle of soft pink ones. I studied it, looking at the details of it, when a small, blue hummingbird appeared in front of it, its wings beating rapidly, drinking the sweet nectar from the flower. I smiled, thinking to myself, 'of course... The hummingbird goes to the brightest flower...' Though I was standing there, for some reason, I didn't startle it. I slowly began to reach out to touch it, but instead, it came to me. It perched on my hand, it wings still beating as it looked at me with its curious eyes. Just as it touched me, I began to fill with life, and full of energy. My heart thumped quickly, my wings beated fast, and I looked around to find I was much smaller, while everything was much bigger. It was as if I was actually a hummingbird. I flew around curiously, stopping at the brightest flowers, tasting the sweet nectar from inside them. It was like nothing I had ever tasted before, similar to honey, but sweeter. I looked around, to find myself surrounded by millions of hummingbirds. They flew past me in all different directions, drinking nectar, and minding their own business. I had never seen anything like it, it was amazing. I looked around curiously, to find the purple petunia in my mothers garden. I flew to it, eager to taste it's nectar, imagining it to be more sweeter and better than any nectar I had ever tasted. Just as I reached it, I was pulled back to reality, as the hummingbird that had once perched on my hand flew away. I stood there shocked and a little disappointed. I had wanted to know what the nectar tasted like, and now I would never know. And what about the hummingbird? Where could it have gone? Though it disappeared, I knew I would never forget it.
Humming Love Long ago in the time of the dragons lived a princess, Rosa. She was fair, but she hated it. "Why is everyone seeing me as the fairest princess. I want people to see me for me." She just wanted every one to know her. She was talented, friendly but knows when to get serious, she was serious on the matter. It seemed unless....until one day. It was night as the full moon shined. She was taking her stroll, She dressed in casual clothing instead of royal gown. She enjoyed the freedom of royal stress. She wasn't paying attention when she bumped into a Stranger and fell. "I'm sorry" she says while still down "Don't worry about it" the stranger said "name's Rome." "Rosa" She replied back. He gave her his hand and help her to her feet. She thought to herself "Never has any one be kind to others like him" She blushes lightly. "Can I offer you a quick bite to eat?" he asked. "Sure, thank you" The walk and talked until they reached a tavern in which he was staying in. They sit at a table. "So Rosa what do you like to eat?" , He asked. "Well I like chicken and pasta" "Me too" "That's good" Rome orders them both chicken in pasta. After dinner was over however, royal gaurds came in and brought her back. A humming bird was on a window and flew to Rome. "What was that all about", Rome said to himself confusingly. "The girl you met was no ordinary girl, but the princess", a mysterious "Who said that"? "On your shoulder." He looked over and saw a humming bird "Hey there..Rome is it. I am Theodore. I been watching the princess as she been sneaking out the palace. They finally got her." Rome was confuse. Theodore explained everything including the princess problem. "She then ran into you and she now has grown some feeling for you", Theodore finished explaining. Rome never met anyone who would be so kind to him either. He was once a gaurd until he was framed. Now everyone either shunned him or forgot of him. He wasn't allowed to any where near the palace. "Theodore can you be a messenger. I want to speak with her, but I am not allowed near the palace" "Well it's better then stalking" So Rome and Rosa , after explain Theodore role as the messenger, they were able to talk and learn of each other. Rosa was sorry for what happened to him and he was sorry for the Royalty she was cursed with. Days, months have past. They grew to love each other. One day Rome day went from back to worse. Through a misidentification he was taking to prison and was sentence to life in prison. He was set in the royal dungeon. Once word was sent to the princess she begged and plead to let him out, but nothing prevailed. Months past and she can feel the suffering Rome was going through. They still spoke through Theodore since she wasn't allowed down there. One day Rosa snuck to the dungeon and locked herself with the keys and stayed with him. The next day the king tried to reason with get saying "A princess should not be in contact with such filth." She knew though Rome been through alot of thing, but he was a nobleman, man of justice, and man of others. Days later the real culprit was found and sent to the dungeon. The king apologized and set Rome free. Rosa was happy, before Rome left he looked back at Rosa as she was coming to him. They looked each other in the eye then found themselves locked in a kiss.The king never saw his daughter this happy since she was little. He declared that these to be wed. They cheered and months later were wed. They lived together and had a happy life. But it wasn't easy neither would it even be possible. All because if one little humming bird came the unity of the two. THE END
The Hummingbird A loud humming filled the air and the lights flickered as the nurses ran the gurney to a vacant room. Four Hours Earlier My boyfriend, Vae, nudged my foot and held his hand out. I glanced over at his open palm, tilting my head a little, I looked at the tiny item. Using my index finger and thumb to pick up the item, I bring it closer to my face. It's a pill. In the form of a hummingbird. I've heard of this pill, newest drug on the market. It was a mixture of XTC and absinthe. The absinthe gave the pill it's green color, but why the pill was molded into a hummingbird, I wasn't sure. Only one way to find out. I pop the pill into my mouth and wait. Not knowing how long the pill would take to affect me I walk over to the token machine and swipe my debit card. I swipe my arcade card and max it out. Quickly I turn on the balls of my feet, making me face a sign that jumped out at me in a kaleidoscope pattern. Well that didn't take long...something green and humming whizzed past my head. Some kid shoved me out of his way, wanting to get to the token machine. I turned to snap at him, but when I looked at him, he sparkled. A pair of pixie wings sprouted from his back, then his clothes tuned green. I giggled and smiled at him. The absinthe part of the pill kicked in first. Still smiling, with wide eyes I wandered over to random fighting machine and swiped my card. I couldn't play worth a hell, I was in pure euphoria! Everything was dancing with nymphs, pixies and they hummed the same song over and over again. I couldn't fight my laughter back anymore, it came out in spurt and in an obnoxious way. Someone grabbed me and spun me about. My forehead impacted with Vae's. Ow. I later woke to music and the television going. Blinking a few times I checked my surroundings. Then I checked myself. Hm, no clothes. The XTC must have kicked in. Man if this was just euphoria and fornication in a pill then I wanted more! I bolted out of bed and to Vae's desktop computer. Sliding my hand across the top of the monitor I find the button. I press it. The screen of the monitor pops out without shattering. I stick my hand into the dark opening and fish out several baggies filled with brightly colored pills. In the handful I grabbed I see the green hummingbird pills. Glorious! I clear Vae's desktop and spill the pills out. Swiftly I snatch up four and pop them into my mouth. I grab a few more and place them in an open space. With a handy pedestal, that Vae keeps at reach, I being to to crush the pills. As I am about to demolish the last pill it disappears before my eyes. A low humming filled my ears then slowly dissipated. I line the green powder up into a beautiful single row. Straw against my nose I lean down and snort. The humming returned, but louder. My whole body began to vibrate. My heart fluttered at an immensely increasing rate. I clutched my head in my hands and let out a blood, curdling scream. I fall to the ground, my body still vibrating, the humming growing louder and louder. A hummingbird fluttered above my head, zigzagging around me restlessly. The lights flickered as the nurses rolled the gurney to a vacant room. My body had been strapped down, but that didn't stop the vibrating. Hum, hum, hum, is all my ears could hear. The hummingbird remained with me, but it brought some friends with it. They were all so majestically beautiful. The humming!...it's them speaking to me! These tiny, fragile masterpieces wanted me to fly with them. A large yellow rose, with petals outlined in white appeared. The hummingbirds were luring me towards the rose. Closing my eyes I let m vibrating body be lifted of the gurney. Raising my arms up I opened my mouth and hummed aloud. Instantly my body erupted into several, multicolored hummingbirds. They all rapidly fluttered into the yellow rose. Everything became dark once the rose closed and vanished.

curiousity wanders my tiny brain, if she notices im around. can she hear my heart flutters as it beats rapidly, making a lovely sound? i stay five feet behind because my frame is forever in a state of immature. one day ill build the courage to talk to her im sure. she dances and sings freely to the anonymous songs her male callers flood. but theres one tune she sings reptitive thats warms her virgin blood. she interviews the male callers as they claim the tune she sings is theirs. they were given a task but the second round, no one was even close. no one could compare. i continue to whistle melodies closely so she can learn but never know. where the wild things are, or where they may go. hoping one day she will follow with her eyes closed and find me where i wait. i sit back and watch the competition fight amongst each other as i use my tunes for bait. until one day, i let my guard down and she caught up with me. her ears led her to my voice, but it was dark and gloomy for her to see. she asked how long have i been tracking her. i told her id been waitin for this moment for what seemed like forever. she asked me to reveal myself and to sing some more. that i could trust her and have faith in people like i once did before. i begged and pleaded that she turned around. as she did, i walked towards her singing, as her body gave in to my voice, the sound. she turned around and saw my scarred face and gasped , embarrassingly. wonderin how can somethin so damage sing so amazingly. she grabbed my hands in her palms and hummed as my emotions were stirred. but all was settled as she kissed my lips, and whispered, "have no fear, my mockingbird" VOTE FOR ZAY!!!
