The rainforest was coming to life with the the light of day filtering through the branches. Daylight animals replacing the nocturnal ones. Monkeys vaulted through the greenery, greeting the day with their usual enthusiasm. Snakes wove through the vines and bark. Birds lofting through the forest, the sun on their backs.
And in the middle of all this hustle to greet the morning, a single parrot rolled his eyes as he took off. He ducked and dove around the leaves until he came to the thatch treehouse. Angels with brightly colored wings, massive compared to his own, flew from hutch to hutch. A hum of voices came from the marketplace. Squeals of children from the aerial playground. But the parrot passed all of these.
He spiraled up the viney rope bridge until he came to the topmost hut.
He perched on the window and squawked.
Inside, a young angel rolled over and pulled the covers over his face. "Leave me alone." He whined.
