The Live Mouse Winded Me

Sparrow's clockwork word audibly inside his body, with nothing to power. The live mouse reached up and took the string in his paws. He pried the ten loops up from the left wing. Tumbling free, it half fell, half floated to rattle against the floor below. And now, this is for the Chikadee. Again, his incisors pulled the ten free and let the second wing drop. I feel so light. Told you so. First ones for me.
