The owl watched as the doctor stuck a needle into Jane several times, before he cut her open with a blade as sharp as his own talon. He watched the doctor jab the piece of red tube into her lanced flesh and fiddle about with clamps and tape, as Jane lay defenseless from the barbaric attack upon her motionless body.
“There you are, Jane, good as new. Someone will be by on the morning to insert pureed food into your stomach. That will keep you going. We care about you here at We Care, Jane. We want to continue to take care of you. You will feel better once you eat, trust me.”
I hate you! you foul, corrupt, disgusting excuse for a human being. You call yourself a doctor! A witch doctor! A voodoo doctor preying on the innocent! You’re a rapist, Dr. Snippit! You rape the dying of their dignity and autonomy! I hate you! I hate you!
When the doctor walked out of the room, the owl returned to the ledge to get a closer look at the helpless woman who had just been assaulted. The two looked into each others eyes for a long, long time before Jane fell back into a needed sleep.
He remained on the ledge and stared into the confinement of the quiet, dimly-lit room, where the unfortunate female figure lay stretched out like a corpse, a corpse with a red tube growing out of its belly.
When Dr. Snippit left the We Care facility late that night, the signal went out: two short hoots followed by one long. It was repeated by every owl in the vicinity. The unusual scenario of sound made Dr. Snippit look up into the night sky. The full moon shed enough light for him to see something in flight.
The flapping wings pounded like his heart, as the owls consumed him like a cloak. In a united force, their pierced their talons deeply into his body and lifted the frightened man off the ground. They flew away with him into the night.
