SCCHHHLOOP!!!!!
That's what it sounded like to Tannis as her cocoon opened. The sound to the outside world was measurably less, to the extent of being nonexistent. Tannis wriggled loose from the rumpled slump that used to be her winter tent. Never one for brushing her teeth, Tannis coughed roughly and spit 7 months of a greenie over the side of the branch that she hung on. Feeling itchy she twisted and scratched, unaware of the multitudes of virtually silent scchhlooops all around her. Her eyes stood wide open as she beheld upon her very own back "WINGS!!!!"
"wings" had been the word in her mind heart,mouth but the croaky roar that hit the light of day was not "wings" but
"MOVVVVE OUTTT!!!!!!!!"
Tannis spit and tried again
"MMMMOOOOOVVVEEE OUTT!!!
If possible the second cry was even louder than the first and before she could try a third time she could hear the cry taken up all around by millions and millions all around her move out move out move out move out MOOVE OUTTT.. MOVE OUT
and they did. so many so that they made the sky dark all around on wings that neither they nor Tannis could acknowledge the new wings which had grown in their cold winter storage....
"I don't even recognize Lina in this mess thought Tannis, "Maybe I'll try a little yell"
"MOOOOOOVE OUTTTT!!!!!!!"
