The Ogre and the Tree Punching

Amos wrapped his fingers around the bird and flung it forward, as if tossing a stone into the air. The surprised creature flapped its wings and took off toward the sky. It flew higher and higher before vanishing above the clouds. Amos could tell the ogre was thunderstruck. After all, as far as her beady eyes could see, Amos had just lofted an actual stone all the way to space.
