It's Ok. I've been so busy with schoolwork, schoolwork, and more schoolwork. I know how it is.

Chapter Eighty

All this is rushing through my head. I'm seeing my whole life in my head, and even though it's in my head, I can see it and feel it.
Everything else was a blur.
Right before I would die, my life flashes through me. The story of my life.
And what a life it was! Perhaps it wasn't one of a normal budgie, but that I might never know.
Having chicks was... an experience I never wanted to go through, but I'm glad I did in the end.
Chicks... Aqua...
Aqua! All the things I want to say to her. And I would get to so soon. Her chick I was so sorry about would be with her now.
Is she watching me?
Thinking about the humans I've known...
The first girl, so kind, and not even she really knew me.
Then it was that... that little girl who didn't know the least about birds.
I remembered, what was it called? Surgery. I don't know how I knew.
The breeder, caring for his birds, and yet not recognizing them individually. His aviary had become what I call home and now I'm just across a short road from it, dying.
I thought of the parrots, too.
Polly, Pepper, and what's his name? Chirpy? I think so. He started a fan club for me.
I had learnt to speak from Polly and taught it to Pepper, so willing to learn.
Now I squawked pathetically, not being able to do anything else.
My eyes are squeezed closed. Perhaps I'm just waiting for death to come to me.
Here I would die, so close to home, and yet not a bird would know my fate. And theirs? I might not ever know either. Oh where are my chicks? Where's Clouds? Or Sky?
...Or Aqua?
My life was so short, it seems, and I have somehow done so much in it.
Despite all my misfortunes, my life has been a good one.
Death was coming. I felt it creep up my spine, tingling my feathers.
Wait, I told it, not yet.
Goodbye, chicks, Sky, Leaf, Polly and Pepper, wherever they are, Clouds, All the birds of the aviary...
I do not want to die. Not now. Not here. I dare not say goodbye to myself.
Death was now all over me, I can feel it.
Could I?
I took a deep breath, my last.
Goodbye, Apple.
