The Night Wanderer
“With its piercing eyesight, it could see deep into the forest despite the darkness of the night. It was the perfect nocturnal winged predator. Slightly hungry, it casually scanned the terrain below the towering oak tree to see what was available. To its lower right, something caught its attention. One of those two-legged creatures that seemed to be everywhere was crawling out of a window.
Curious, it watched the human stand upright and brush himself off. And then, scanning the forest in his own... manner, he looked up, directly into the owl’s eyes. It was as if the two-legged creature could see the owl, quietly nestled in the thick of the branches at the top of a very tall tree. The owl was used to being invisible. In fact, the construction of its wings made even its flight virtually soundless. A whisper in a land of winds. So it should have been impossible for this creature, famous for having such poor night vision, to see the nocturnal raptor.
The human pursed his lips and emitted a note-perfect owl call: “who .MoreLess
