I had to write something for class, and I was really proud of this.

Laughter flies around the room as the dancers fly through the air, birds. But one observer watches only one dancer, the one who flies the highest, springs on her feet. As the music reaches its crescendo, the dancers slow, moving in time with the music. The music stops, and the dancers freeze, all in a different pose. The observers move to clap when a haunting note sounds and the dancer who flew the highest, moves, she leaps, wings lifting her higher with each beat. The ground shakes as the bird finally lands, touching down. The other dancers move at the moment, rising from their positions and taking off. The bird rises meeting the others, when the final note sounds, heart piercing and world shattering, the birds fall as one and don't move from the ground.
