Peering through the clouds, she saw land. It was not something she really enjoyed.
Sheer madness had prompted her to agree to this adventure. All because of Gloria. Why, oh why couldn’t she say ‘No’?
Granted that they were inside an airplane and reasonably safe, but one could never tell. These things were not steady. They moved at extreme speed, rocketing through the air. What if…? Oh, it was too terrible to think of.
Gloria looked over at her, reading her thoughts. Grinning wickedly, she purred, ‘Is Pollyanna scared?’
Pollyanna flapped her green wings and said, ‘Don’t be absurd.‘

Shailaja, Good story with a humorous ending. Creative to tell it from the parrot’s point of view. Well written. π —Susan

Green wings? You know how to keep a surprise element hidden till the very end.
But of course π That was the idea π
I like Pollyanna and the green wings – you did a great job with the prompt! Nan π

Lol… That was cute.
Ha…this was cute! Loved Ms P’s response π
I love that! I didn’t see that coming at all, but of course it all makes perfect sense.
Parrots? My friends have lots of birds and one is VERY green. That’s what I’m seeing right now.
is she a parrot? I feel scared all the time while flying if I might add π
lol….good for Pollyanna π
Dear Shilaja,
So Pollyanna is a parrot? I don’t imagine she’d care much for using a plane for flight. π Very intelligent bird that.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Nice twist at the end. Well done.
Aloha,
Doug
