《World War Veteran》Chapter 1
Advertisement
Looks like I'm dead but why I'm still conscious? This doesn't make sense and I can’t see anything. At least, I honored my good brothers before I died. I try to move my hands and feet, Hmm, I can still move my body? Suddenly, my ears hear some cracking sounds somewhere. Am I still alive? Why I can't talk? The cracking sounds change to a sound that similar to chirping birds.
Am I hallucinating?, I know I should be dead, I don't have any regrets. My son and daughter have a good life also my grandchildren. I will miss them, If there’s something that I want to change that is, I discipline my kids too much but I know, my strict disciplinary teaching help them on what they achieve right now. The sound of chirping birds becoming more louder as the time passes by. There is someone talking but I can't find words to describe what kind of language they are using.
There is something in my head like instinct and telling me to go outside to see the world. As my hands swaying in random directions, I touch a hard thing like some sort of greasy wall. When I punch it, the greasy wall is still there and I don't know if my punched is really counted as a punch. My hands don't feel like a human being anymore.
Something is ordering my thoughts, I follow it and use my mouth to break the greasy wall. I heard a crack and continue to use my mouth to break the greasy wall. After the continuous hitting, a small amount of light appearing in the cracks. When the cracks are weak enough to put my head outside, I halted my action and put my head in the crack to see what’s behind this strange wall.
There are two big baby birds that chirping in my front, both of them are hairless when I look at the strange walls where I came from, the color of it is white and I assume that it must be an oblong shape. Did I just came out of the egg?, when I look up, there's a two huge birds, but how can they stand up like a human?, why I can't say anything? The other one has a color dark gray beak while the other one has a color beige beak. The two of them have hands that similar to human but it`s covering by a dark yellow scales. The bird that has a dark gray beak is taller than the other and his body is wider than the other while the other one is a bit more feminine, it should be a female type of bird. Both of them have brown wings that folded in their back and they both have deep brown eyes, they look at me and their faces that full of brown feathers are showing a hint of disappointment. Their faces have similarities to an eagle or a hawk, most likely the latter. They grab the two baby birds in front of me and they're saying something but I can't understand any of it. The two of them are just ignoring me as I look at them with a curious expression.

When I move my head to check the surroundings, the walls is in a spherical shape that made of a wooden thick strings or rope and it looks like a wooden straws brown wall. When I check the ceiling, it`s also similar to the walls but I can see some green leaves that covering the ceiling of this strange house. I move again and stick out my whole body to the egg to where I came from.
I walk and after two steps, I stumble and there’s a minor pain that I feel in my right knee. There are some white sticky thing that scattered in differents part of my body. As my body is lying on the ground, I look up again and see the face of the feminine bird is looking at me worriedly while the other one is still looking disappointed.
I don't think there's such a humanoid big bird in the earth, Am I still in the earth? Am I one of those baby humanoid birds? This is so confusing, I want to rest, My body feels weak.
When I lift up my eyes again, the place is still the same and I'm resting in the place where I came from. When I look around, I don’t see the two huge birds and the two baby looking birds. They should have left me, if I’m not mistaken, something is telling that the two huge birds are my parents.
After pondering things, I decided to exit in this strange room. My body approaching the arc shaped hole in my front. When I'm about to exit, fortunately, I stop. There are no grounds, all I can see are huge trees outside of this strange house that have a strange spherical house at the top of it, they look like a nest. When my head looks downwards, I see the land at 200 to 300 ft., I move backward to regain my breathing.
If I carelessly continue to walk, I might die back there, I didn't read any newspapers that there are tall trees that have a strange house nest on top of it. When I check out again the huge trees, there are some huge birds that kinda similar to my parents that going inside and flying around. When I look up at the sky, there are two suns, the other looks similar to earth while the other one is smaller and dimmer, they look like they're not that far away from each other.
This is strange, my memories are vivid, my heart problems attacked again after I finished the interview with the CNN reporter. Why did I wake up here?, Looks like there is a huge possibility that I may not in the earth anymore.

When I check my body, I feel that there are another limbs aside from my hands and feet. As I turn my head around, I see small brown wings that have some silver color mix in it.
I want to shout out loud but something’s wrong in my vocal cords. After I saw the small wings on my back, I know that I became a bird. I really feel confused right now, After the CNN reporter interview to me, I'm ready to perish back in the earth and hoping that I will see my brothers and my wife in the afterlife once more. Looks like the afterlife isn't true but the otherworld.
As I looking at my back, I'm trying to move my wings and see if there's a movement. It feels like another hand, still, I can't make it flap, I can only move it a bit. After a few moments later, there is a breeze of wind came from the arc shape hole. The two huge birds are holding the two baby birds and maybe they are talking to each other. When they see me, both of them got silent for a moment and looking at me with a disappointed facial expression.
What's their problem? I don’t think my body have any defects and how come can I understand their emotions? This is frustrating, I feel like I'm ashamed of myself. The feminine bird is most likely my mother is approaching me.
“................................” She is saying something, but I don’t really get it. She looks sad, her eyes have become teary. She grabs me and our forehead are touching each other while she’s saying other things.
The masculine big bird that most likely my father, put the two baby bird on the ground and lift off outside. My mother put me down and put some raw red meat on the ground. I ate raw meat before and now my mother signaling her hands that I should eat the meat. She’s even doing an example to herself on how should we eat. I approach the meat and use my mouth or rather my beak to eat it.
I`m surprised after tasting the meat, I don't feel like puking, it doesn't taste like the raw meat that I ate before. It`s kind of salty but overall this is definitely one of the most delicious food that I ever tasted. I think, maybe I’m becoming a bird, not just my body but also my mind. If this is another world like earth, maybe the most intelligent species in this world are humanoid birds and there’s still possibility that there are humans in this strange world.
When I look at the two baby birds that are eating, their bodies are larger than mine while their small wings are pure brown and their beaks color are similar to my father. Are all humans that died are taking over other bodies?, but these two birds look dull and I think we are siblings.
As I look to my side, I see my mother looking at us, she looks happy but at the same time worried. Is there any pen or books here?, I want to communicate to them but these vocal cords of mine, looks like this is the defective part of my body. I want to ask my parents the reason they're disappointed in me as soon as I was born. Maybe, I misinterpreted them?
I look again to my two siblings, the other one who is larger than other should be a male while the other one is similar to my mother, she has a feminine vibe. After they're finished eating, the two of them chirping nonstop, they're both look happy that they look like an idiot. From the looks of it, I don't see any signs that they might be a human from the earth too.
What should I do now? There are no books and looks like they also don't have a pen or maybe they didn't invent any of that yet, the technology here looks like not as advanced as the earth. How can I get some information to this odd world?
