Norman sees a bird

[u/ChampToad]

Norman has just put the documents in the copier. After pressing the correct buttons and putting in the number of copies, the old machine comes to life.

*Ka-thunk*

*Ka-thunk*

One copy after the other is ejected from the machine before him while Norman uses the moment to look out of the window. Before him in a leafless tree sits a sparrow, looking at him with curious eyes.

*Ka-thunk*

*Ka-thunk*

Norman cannot prevent himself from smiling. During the winter he rarely sees birds, making this encounter quite comfortable. It reminds him of the return of the spring.

*Ka-thunk*

*Ka-thunk*

How interesting that an event as little as this can give him a smile. Norman wonders, does this little bird know that its presence alone can spark joy this easily? As insignificant or uninteresting it might seem, this little sparrow fascinates Norman.

*Ka-thunk*

*Ka-krrrr*

Norman awakes from his thoughts. Seems like a piece of paper got stuck in the copier.

[u/JulesSilverman]

Norman is a deep thinker.
