《Adopted By Thomas Sanders and The Sanders Sides (UNDER EDITING!)》Birds-Or The Virgil Chapter
Advertisement
Virgil watches as Aricka and Dan walked out of the venue, laughing and holding hands, Patton Jr. jumping at their heels. She's growing up. Pretty soon, she'll be going off to college, and where will my little sister be then? he wonders. Will she even see me as her brother at that point? Or just some guy that helped her grow up?
He grabs the guitar-the one he bought when he bought Aricka's-and started playing:
"I don't want to drive a fancy car today
I don't wanna ride in a red corvette
I don't wanna jog my Saturday away
But I don't wanna go home yet
Today is not the day to jump out of a plane
I don't wanna parasail or play roulette
I don't wanna risk it all or go insane
But I don't wanna go home yet
I just wanna watch the birds go by
From my handy foldable blue canvas throne
I wanna watch them fly and fly
And see them soar up into the unknown
But I feel just like a nerd
Watching birds
Watching me here all alone
I don't wanna breakdance or learn taekwondo
I don't wanna fish till all the fish are gone
I don't wanna rollerskate even if it's slow
I don't wanna pass out in a marathon
I don't like soccer, baseball, track or field
I'm not up for a match of polo
I don't wanna seek or try to stay concealed
I'm also not up for waterpolo
I just wanna watch the birds up there
Track the migratory patterns that they've flown
I wanna watch them from my chair
With my binoculars, my latte, and my phone
Trying to spot a lark
In the park
Parked in nature all alone
Alone here with the doves
And the sparrows, and the ospreys

The owlets, the egrets, and my list
It's just me and Mr. Finch
The robins, the king fishers, the snipes
Though I heard they don't exist
Each little specie
In its little way can teach me what awaits you
If you can get away
I wanna watch
The birds do what they will
Sorry if I'm ornithologically prone
I wanna watch from somewhere undisturbing
Quiet, calm, still
Sit right here and gaze at the unknown
I don't wanna fly
In the sky
I just wanna be alone
It's not a big deal, or anything
I just wanna be alone...."
He did want to be alone.
But not with himself.
With Aricka. His little sister. His best friend.
With the little girl who said, "I almost forgot to tell you-I love your jacket! I want one too!"
Who had hugged him even though he was still getting used to people touching him.
The girl who had-even though she'd been startled-loved his room even though it was darker than she was.
He just wanted his sister again.
Then she walks in. "Virgil!" she exclaims, her eyes lighting up when she saw him. He smiles. "Were you playing Birds? Play it again! I love hearing you sing."
With a smile, Virgil plays the song, and her and Dan dance, and it seems perfectly normal. As they leave, Aricka hugs him tightly. "You'll always be a prince to me, Virgil. And you'll always be my twin. I love you."
"I love you too," he replies and kisses her forehead.

Mordheim: Servants of The Damned (A Warhammer Fantasy Fiction)
“The Great Library,” Stated the stranger with a pause. “You know of it?”“Of course I do. In the Merchant’s Quarter?”“Yes, in the Merchant’s Quarter. I have gathered that there is an… artefact of importance within its walls.” Slowly, the figure produced a rusted key from the furls of his robes and held it in a black-gloved hand. “This opens the door to its chambers. It is the grimoire of Gunnar von Krugenheim, and I believe that it would serve better in the world than locked away in a dusty room.” Behind the cursed walls of Mordheim, warbands and gangs of all stripes are embattled in constant wars for resources and power. The cursed city attracts throngs in the thousands, searching for treasures, artefacts, power, and sometimes all three. The Cult of the Hidden Brethren is no exception, and when an opportunity to extend their reach is discovered, the cultists are eager to take the opportunity. However, not all is set in stone, and soon the cultists discover that the lure of power alone may not be enough to give them the drive required to see their quest done... --- Mordheim: Servants of the Damned is a fanfiction set in the world of Warhammer Fantasy, which is not owned by me but by the company Games Workshop. I of course, lay claim to nothing in this story but the characters I have created, and the core events of the story itself. This is my first true foray into fantasy writing, let alone Warhammer Fantasy, therefore any feedback is welcome. (It should be noted as well, the cover art is merely an artwork I found online and is not mine, therefore I do not lay claim to that either.)
