Prolog:

The Child was playing outside like he did just about everyday that He observed this family. The young woman had gone into the house as the boy had been fighting off the imaginary pirates that were invading the house. As the woman emerged from the house carring a tray of sandwiches and drinks she watched the boy as he fell.

"Great job acting brat now get up and come eat your lunch….Toby come on now this isn't funny get up…TOBY!" panic started to over take the tone of annoyance as the woman raced down the stairs to the boy laying on the ground. Half expecting the boy to start laughing when she turned him over she was horror stricken when she turned the lifeless boy onto his back she immediately started CPR and was screaming for help. The old woman next door called 911. He watched as the girl tried to revive the small boy. HE watched as the ambulance came and took the boy away. He watched as the young woman got into the neighbors car and rode away following the ambulance.

The Snowy owl stretched his wings as he dropped from his perch in the tall oak tree beside the house. He had frequented that spot for the past 10yrs waiting for the day when the woman that lived there would realize she needed him. A pang of sadness for the family he had regarded as his own was swelling in his heart. He knew what had happened and he could do nothing to stop it. He followed them to the hospital and watched from the window of the waiting room as the woman collapsed entirely into the arms of the old woman who had brought her there when the doctor came out and told her the news.

"Sarah…" the word was like a whisper from the trees, the woman looked up for a moment the streams of tears still running down her face but continued to cry as though she heard nothing…all that could be heard over her soft sobs was the beating of wings as a large bird flew away from the hospital.
