Little bird is back
Some cold bread helps him survive
His eyes say 'thank you.'

Trying to get back to full-time work whilst recovering from depression
There is a particular kind of silence that follows depression; it’s the absence left behind when your old life no longer fits and the new one hasn’t quite formed yet. That’s why I often compare depression with the state of metamorphosis.

Instructions Included Challenge Winners
For the Instructions Included challenge, we asked writers to tell a story through instructions and to trust the form to carry what could not be said outright. Across the top entries, that trust paid off in many different ways.

Birds are natures frequency path
I felt a connection to both the bird and the giver in this moment. Your words made me realize how simple actions can carry deep meaning.
Bravo and makes me happy
Awww, this was so sweet! Loved it so much!
yeah
💖This little bird is truly winsome. I love how you blurred the lines between the simple life of a creature and our own inherent need to survive. By choosing to convey a benediction through its eyes, you’ve created a beautiful Chiasmus; you connect human to bird, and bird to human.
