The Feather of the Owl

by Lee Dalton

“I was working in the Interview Area when he came. He was a small one, with tousled black hair and large brown eyes filled with an expression of wonderment, puzzlement, and a touch of worry.”
Their meeting began in silence as the receptionist studied the young boy. Then suddenly, the Small One began to speak, the words rolling from his mouth in a country drawl as he told his story.
The sudden death of his mother shattered his tranquility and security. His father, unable to cope with the death of his wife, turned to drink and began to beat and abuse him. To escape, the Small One would take refuge by the spring. His only friends were the animals: the deer, the raccoons, and an owl. Then the old Indian, Clay Dog, befriended him, taught him how to live off the land, and showed him how to build a shelter when there was none.

His life was led toward a new path. Through the wisdom spoken by his Indian friend, a legend would soon become reality for the Small One. The reality—a feather placed gently on his cheek that would lead him to his destiny.
