I'm a young writer who just graduated from university. I'm looking to improve my writing, get immersed in the community, and hopefully move forward from the mind-numbing experience of a five-year STEM degree.

The Pretty Bird in My Grandma's Kitchen
When I was a child, my grandma owned a scarlet macaw. I would gaze up at the bird between the sturdy steel bars that kept her locked away. She returned my stare with beady, golden eyes. Her face and neck were covered in vibrant red feathers that faded to yellow to green to blue as they fanned out behind her in a lengthy cobalt tail. Her white-and-black beak plunged down her face into a sharp point I was told could pierce my flesh if I stuck my fingers through the bars.
