Forest Child

WALHT - use the structure of a narrative to entertain an audience

Adapted to the wild and rejected by her parents, a beast tamer, Foul was abandoned in a forest that had been known by many to have a ferocious nature. Countless explosives, all set by Charles Darling, an infamous animal kidnapper and the culprit of inventing animal skin dealing throughout the black market. With her speck of luck, she had been caught and raised by a creamy brown owl. This owl (who she has renamed to ‘Brownie’) was born weak and has depended her life on herbs and fruits. Even mocked and cooed at, she became an independent, strong bird who thrives to protect her territory and those around her.

  Raised by a strong bird, Brownie was worried with his new founded ‘creature’. Born without wings, claws or sharp canine teeth, this large child was doubted to survive the harsh economy around her. The individual bird worked laborious for the forest child. Fasting parts of her daily meals, the bird was roughly skin and bones before it had collapsed unconscious back in its home.

  With the child gaining encouragement from its momentarily half-dead mother bird. With it having the same diet; crunchy nutrient-filled leaves, herbs and fruit, the child scurried off to scavenge off of other animal’s treasure in its holey trunks. Swinging from branch to branch, the child had been provided with many ripe and mature fruit. Foul’s experience was extraordinarily unaccountable. Alas, poor Foul with its founded mother all bone and feathers.

  Filled with pity and grief, Foul had much sympathy for its rotted stepmother. She was merely a decent child decent who desired something to take care of. Ever since that tragic depression, Foul, born as a herbivore, had no intention to kill animals for food or accessories of trophy.

  It had been 16 years ever since his mother’s death. Who knows what Foul is up to now? Dead or alive, he had a clean and pure soul. Charles Darling though, is still up to date and still selling animal hides, meat and head trophies.
