Amanda couldn’t ignore the tension in its stillness, as if it were silently poised for action. “Why aren’t you moving?” she whispered, as though the bird might break its silence and answer, its cool, unyielding stare holding secrets she couldn’t quite grasp.

Lisa sighed, crossing her arms. “I’ve never seen anything like this before. What’s it even doing just sitting there?” Her voice broke the silence, echoing the unspoken question on everyone’s mind.
