[align=center][div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11px; width: 60%; text-align: justify; line-height:120%"]Pendulum eternally locked within simplistic cycle of momentum, steady, if languid, the manner of rhythmic motion. Most befitting such about the loose confinements of lacking schedule, uneven and ever changing beneath the flick of wanton whim the scape of activities populating the hours of his day. Unpredictable, one may almost come to deem such, unknown the gentle rhythm beating beneath organised chaos.
A mere matter of perspective, lost the one gazing within from an external point. And such was almost preferred, though trackable of no use the parsing of his movement.
Upon the waning edges of morning had his previous objective fallen to ruin, crumbling the base construct of fleeting interest. Had been a choice further exploration of the hidden spaces decorating the shallow divers of surface level root would have been conducted, yet it was, with heart grown heavy in smoke hued breast, his trajectory shifted. Familiar, if faintly despised as the stage of new plumage growth set about beraggedly avian, the chick bearing a secondary cranium. And, of course, about too would be the supposed mother. Brief the moment of its halt before the low stoop, annoyance within the manner duel beaks clicked against the wood. Had he been of a mind to assist aside pushed such thought when attention turned, pulled a few strands from his wrist when too close did he approach.
A dark grumble peeled his dark lips back from the pearlescent sheen of baby teeth, the feathery length of his tail picking up a slow flick as he entered the occupied house. Too many. His progression halted within the frame, for a moment his eyes trailing over each in turn. Known all, expected the dark silhouette as though shade had been peeled from the ground and given the gift of higher existence, the abandoned chick left behind evident enough. Pleasing the sight of elder and younger brother, though bitter the reminder he was settled among the middle of their brood.
Displeasure arose in a dark cloud constricting his lungs until breath parted his lips with an inaudible tremor. Of a size he towered above Winston the days had seen weight collect, bloated his midsection as the gathering life within further grew, almost a balloon awaiting the cruel prick of a needle. About the assembled did he skirt, a more worthy subject of his attention the father that fiddled with a colourful assortment of crafts. Unlike his brethren silent was he on the matter, merely watching with a wide eyed rapture.
