This is a new series I started that followed on from an old freewrite I wrote called "Big Bird". It was voted by my lovely friends and followers as the story most people would like to see continued (to read first two parts see this post: https://steemit.com/freewrite/@felt.buzz/it-s-my-party-and-i-ll-cry-if-i-want-to-a-five-minute-freewrite-big-bird-2).
50% of the SBD payout from this post will go to the @freewritehouse. Meaningful comments on this post will get an upvote from me and a number. On Saturday, all the numbers will be put into a draw and one lucky person who has commented on this weeks "Big Bird" posts will win 1 @steembasicincome share
"Not that sort of bird, J," I sighed into the phone. "An actual bird, the feathered kind. Although I don't know what kind it is. It's bloody huge. Fills up the tub."
Pause.
Then, "Sounds strange, Pieman. Let me get some clothes on, grab a bite to eat, and have a shit - not necessarily in that order - and I'll be round."
I said my thank yous and he hung up. The thing about J is he can be a total arsehole, but if a mate is in genuine need he'll do his best to come and help. Granted, sometimes he makes things worse - I thought suddenly of the holiday we had in Spain last year, the nice German couple and the parasol, and what ended up in the swimming pool, and shuddered - but at least he tries.
I had a sudden thought. Perhaps my phone held some answers as to what had been going on. I swiped it and had a look in the gallery at the photos.
Sure enough there were some photos I didn't recognise, although none of them featuring a giant bird, nor of a party in my bedroom...

Damn! I went from a bird of the feathery kind, to a woman human bird, and now I am back to a bird of the feathery kind again! What are you trying to do to me @felt.buzz?
LOL! Sorry about that!

Great job on this continuation, J's playing it kinda cool, I'm thinking he knows more than he's letting on. I'm getting my parasol and going for a walk.
At the moment, your guess is as good as mine! Let's find out tomorrow!

I like how it starts in the middle of a conversation - intriguing.
I like the language of the personage - explicit, natural.
I like the mysteri that is inside, it seems that even the character has no idea how to solve it ))))
I had fun reading!
