An Eagles Revelation © by Rex Allen McCoy ~~~ At dawns early light a frozen tick fell from an eagle dropping gently past a shear cliff face only to be caught by brisk winds sweeping through a mountain valley and lifted to the sheer heights of the crystal blue ionosphere ~ Then drifted down lazily through a lingering cloud with moisture bonding crystalline to its' form increasing in size and stature 'till dawns' reflecting light glistened from a tiny frozen ice diamond no larger than a flea ~ Then shot back to the heavens on a passing jet-stream collecting toxic fuel residue from an iron eagle further increasing its' frozen density before descending earthward in a projectile type manner approximately the size and shape of a pea ~ Its' speed increasing to terminal velocity before slamming into the snow-capped top of a Rocky Mountain peak causing the slow growth of a snowball as it commenced to roll and bounce and tumble with descending gravitational attraction toward an enormous menacing snow bound overhang that shook and exploded with the impact ~ Then ... time took a breath ... before the avalanche dropped from the sharp raw edge of the cliff shearing off century old trees and loosening rock in its' path increasing in momentum toward the unsuspecting sleeping village that had no warning of the impending nightmare before it was buried alive beneath a million tons of snow laden with rock and trees ... ~ For the love of god ... never ... ... ever ... tick-off an eagle ~~~ |

ROTFLMAO !!!!! Last weekend I was in the country and by the time I got home, was covered in ticks. AARRGGHH! Hate the little buggers! But I never, ever thought of putting it to good use, as you've done! Once again, you've got me glad I'm not still ticked! Sunny ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.

A fun read and well written. I liked the way you built up to the final setting. Great Job! Life is not a spectator Sport! Dance like no one's watching. Love like it's never going to hurt. |

Rex I am going to consider that good advice. You had me there for awhile but you started giving yourself away early. That put some fun into the evening read...thanks...ethome.. |
