Morning Ritual
Just a short story inspired by some events in my actual life. it's not all that exciting but I gotta get through my writers Block somehow.
I wake up giving a click with my beak and stretch beneath the blankets I hate the new place but pry my self up seeing my breath as i sigh out I look at my mate an arctic wolf shi always hated the cold, heh have to chuckle at the irony there. I make my way to the shower sleeping nude always had its advantages I'm showering and trying to relax but my eyes keep wandering allover my body scares every where. "I should have been more careful with my life" I sigh out cleaning my feathers and fur the black sheen making me feel like my mother was right about me becoming a model. "too late for that too" I get out drying off and walk out into the main room and start checking my emails. as im clicking spam i see some actual business emails and open them up... my mate wakes up and asks me what I'm doing so i show hir the email.
"it looks like the marine corps might have another contract for me it'd be a good pay out if I weren't 4 weeks pregnant" I say with a hint of mixed disappointment and happiness "your going to get up or do you plan to hide under the blankets from the scary cold weather?" I asked jokingly she got upset and rolled over always did have a temper Irish always did. I start hearing yelling from the manager out side and sigh out, "guess it's work time" I throw on a ratty red skirt that only covers a slowly shrinking left leg to my knee some leather pants with a brown leather vest. I get greeted by a blast of cold air and my manager screaming at a man who broke into a room to leave the property the man was a weasel both literally and figuratively and had a loaded and charged nail gun in his hands he decided to try to press it to the man and shoot some nails into him i walked up and crossed my arms while staring him down.
"I'd suggest you leave before you end up having the nail gun shoved up your ass sideways" I say in a low and calm voice he looks at me dumb founded and takes a half step foreword which i uncross my arms and take a full step foreword moving my talons at the ready. "I'm a raven/panther gryphon If you hadn't Noticed So be smart and leave so i can relax and you can live a couple more days" He leaves my manager looks both relieved and upset at me I ask him if he's okay and he half smiles nervously and says "yes" in his broken accent. I watch our uninvited guest for a bit longer before shrugging and going back into my little apartment. I tell my mate maggie what happened and get on my laptop to play fallout 4 not really wanting to do much and feeling the biggest bout of writers block I've had in awhile. I just hang back forgoing armor and snipe some people more pissed at not being able to fight today than anything else I sigh softly and shake my head. "what a lousy day"
