I was walking home from school yesterday. It was a pretty warm day for February but the sun felt nice on my skin. It was the perfect kind of warmth that makes a person want summer to come. This however is all an illusion because no one really wants summer to come in Phoenix. I was suddenly torn away from my thinking when out of the corner of my eye I saw a boy drop something out of the passing vehicle. I wouldn't have given it a second thought but the dry wind blew it just into my path. I picked up the pace a little because that something really looked like something. It was a 100 dollar bill sticking awkwardly to the concrete ahead of me. I reached out to rescue it from it's wandering. I was very surprised and happily put the bill in my pocket and continued home. Once home I immediately took the bill out again except just in this moment it changed somehow. It happened so fast I am not sure I even ever had a bill in my pocket in the first place but at the same time I knew I did. The once bill now was a beautiful cardinal flying through my kitchen like a flash of fire in the sky. He must have been scared. I must admit I was a little shocked myself. This could not be happening. right? the bird flurried some more until he finally came to a rest on the edge of the counter I call the peninsula. I already thought things were strange...but I was wrong nothing was more strange that what happened in that next moment.

To be continued....
