The Bird in the Handkerchief.

Ryan Ross character fiction.
Present-day.
788 words.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night.
Take these broken wings and learn to fly.
All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Ryan has not changed as much as he would like to believe he has. And he knows it.

A companion piece to Icarus and the Bird of the Peace.
