Birds of a feather

In under the wire! I rushed this, but I'm going to revise during the one-week grace period. I promise. As I wrote it, I became more and more convinced that my first impulse to write it as a one-act play was the correct one, but I'm afraid we're stuck for now with the short story version. I'm not a playwright anyway, which is the reason I quashed that impusle. But I don't think it works as a story. It's not my best work, but enjoy anyway.

EDITS:
7/7/08- Minor stylistic changes and errors fixed. As a bonus feature, I reformatted it as a one-act play to see if that works better. The play version is linked below, the copyedited short story version remains linked above. Yes, both versions probably ought to be longer, more substantial. But I didn't get to that in a week, and now it's time to move on the the next saying... for which I do not have an idea yet.

Birds of a Feather.

To put it simply: I failed.

Well ... goddamn.

Here.
