I love magpies. They seem to have a lot of charisma. They are immensely curious and chatty. And they’re sneaky little buggers that you don’t want to turn your back on. They are also very intelligent birds, and are one of the few animals who can recognize themselves in a mirror. I don’t exactly paint them in a good light in this chapter. But their cunning also makes them a perfectly good villain.
Chapter Notes
I’m not one to let a good mood last long. This was a fun chapter to write, despite the rather evil intent of it. I need some things to happen before we get to Joe. Some altogether unpleasant things. These things will help shape our characters and help them prepare for the choices that are looming before them.
The choice of magpies as thieves was a pretty simple one as anyone who has had food stolen in a campground might have experienced.
Rebecca seems to be experiencing some changes that Silver Sky is not. How will this affect her choices?
