Description
    There once was a bird, and this bird was extremely beautiful, all dark red and blue. It loved to fly through the rain forest, high above the ground. One day a research crew came through the rain forest. They saw the beautiful bird and were enraptured by its colorful feathers. The photographers took many photos to put into a National Geographic magazine special. While they were in the forest, the team would follow and watch it the entire day, until it flew to its nest for the night.

    One night there came a fierce storm, and many of the supplies of the research team were lost in a flash flood. The team wondered how it was going to get out of the forest in time to get more supplies before they would starve to death. Then the beautiful bird came out and began its flight around the forest. The research team looked up and saw it and immediately knew what to do. They all reached for their weapons, only to find their comrades doing the exact same thing. The leader of the research team, a middle-aged soldier, came to his senses and realized that they were not that desperate yet. "Men, be reasonable. there is plenty of other food in the forest, we don't need to kill each other over what supplies we have." He calmly spoke the words, his eyes flicking over the various men before him. No one moved at first, but slowly they all took their hands off of their weapons and shook their heads in wonder at what they had almost done. They began discuss what needed to be found in order to survive.

   One of the photographers looked up and couldn't find the bird, so he turned to his buddy and said, "Let's go look for the bird while they figure out the food situation. We can get some great shots in now." So they left the rest of the team in search of the bird. After wandering around for over an hour, the first photographer spotted a flash of color in the trees. He motioned to his friend, then together they crept closer to take some photos. One stepped on a large branch that cracked and caused the bird to take flight. The moment the bird flew over their heads, both men dropped their cameras and grabbed the guns at their sides. Pulling the triggers at the same time, they dropped dead below the tree with the beautiful bird. the bird flew down to the bodies and tried eating, only to find that the clothes prevented it from getting to the meat it craved. Leaving them sprawled on the ground it flew off again, heading towards its nest, hunger driving it there.

    The rest of the research team had been gathering various edible plants and roots in the area of their destroyed camp. As they had worked, it had grown almost unbearably hot so the men had removed their shirts in hopes of cooling off some. They heard a shrill cry, that of the beautiful bird, and looked up to watch it fly. Immediately, they felt the same blood lust as before and drew their weapons. And so shots rang out once more in the forest. The one necessary soldier in the research team had used his military knowledge to take cover and kill the others. Once it was all said and done, he felt the need to kill leave him and he was at once horrified at what he had done. He put the gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger, hoping it would be enough of a price to pay for his crime. Quiet once more fell over the forest, and the beautiful bird swooped down from its nest and began feasting on the flesh of the victims to its carnivorous appetite.
