Chad sat up and looked around. His head stung a bit, but that soon subsided. “Man, what is this place?” Chad asked, rising to his feet. The birds around him seemed to pay not care he was there. They were too focused on eating. Watching the birds made Chad smile. They looked kinda cute, but he thought they might be dangerous because of their beaks. So he pushed the thought of petting one out of his mind.
Feeling around in his jeans pocket he felt a small sphere shaped object. It felt metallic and smooth. The metal was cold. From the top he could feel a chain, which he began to fiddle with as he pulled it out of his pocket. After seeing what it was he smiled even greater than he had before. A gold pocket watch rested in his hands. The pocket watch once belonged to his grandfather. It was handed down to him. Every time he saw the watch it filled his head with memories. Happy memories. Mainly fishing memories. His Grandpa always planned the best fishing trips.
After looking of the pocket watch, and noticing the time had stopped, Chad noticed something was dangling from his neck. He reached around his neck and unlatched it. Now resting in his other hand was his great Grandmother’s locket. The locket was a shining silver. He had only but seen this locket one time. His mother wore it to his great grandmother’s funeral when she died. He didn’t know much about her and had no idea why it came over with him.
Chad put the locket back onto his neck and clutched it tightly before putting the pocket watch back into the little pocket above the big pocket in his jeans. He clipped the chain to his belt. Chad felt like he was forgetting something. Then he remembered. The voice stated that there were more humans but none were in sight. This kinda worried him. Even though he didn’t know the people he hoped for their safety. This caused him to make his way through the crowd of birds in search of soon to be partners.
