As I walk along to the grocery store I hear a familiar beep and then many others. My phone, as well as everyone's around me goes off. When I look at my phone I know the people around me are deadmen, despite their panicked shrieks and frantick running. I, however, will live. The person who sent the message of death knew this. I unveil my scale covered wings and back. They had been hidden by a backpack previously. I then gather the luckey ten underneeth. They won't be without some bumps and bruises, but, they will survive. All have children and are women as the men wouldn't accept the limited space for themselves. Then, the bomb drops and I take as much of the blow I can. When it all clears the people under me search for any survivors and as do I. I find three and the rest find more. This was a weak bomb. It was aimed at me as a test. I will find the one who did this and kill them. For now, I must get the milk and eggs from the store. While plotting their demise. The End

i disagree. this is not you at your best. this does not have the same emotion as other work you have done before this. this lacks conflict and barely effects change. the thing gets hit by a bomb in a public place and noone cares that he has wings just that they can shelter there? the men refuse? i doubt it. you are at your best when you pay meticulous attention to detail and thi k things through. i wonder if this is a symptom of the frequency at which you publish.
