The Birds
Beginning: Nat Hoken is a farmer, but he did not work full- time at the farm. He worked three days a week, and they gave him a lighter jobs. He was married with children, and he did not enjoy the company of others so he work alone.
He used to watch the birds on work, flying everywhere. Winter was coming, and a lot of birds without a place to keep them worm will die. The birds had been more restless than ever this year, and there was a lot more than others years.
One night Nat was in home, and suddenly he felt the cold wind through the chimney. In the middle of the night Nat heard the tapping on the window, he got out of bed and went to the window, as he opened it he felt something brushed against his hand, cutting the skin, then the bird was gone, over the roof. The same thing happened again but this time there was more than just one bird.. they attacked Nat, he shouted, hitting them with his arms and like the first one they flew over the roof and disappeared.. suddenly a frightened cry came from the children's room, it was Jill, then the little one started to cry too, Nat ran into their room and started to fight with the birds, the window was wide open, after fighting for a long time he felt that the beating of the wings around him stopped and while he was listening he realized that there was no birds anymore.
Middle: After all this situation, Nat started to get worried.. he told people about the birds but no one believed him. Nat tried to bury the birds that was lying on the bedroom's floor, in the beach, but he can't because of the cold and strong wind. In that moment, he saw a lot of gulls flying over the sea, there was so many gulls. Nat went to his home, and listened on the radio that this was happening all over the country. After what happened, Nat decided to work hard all the morning and boarded the bedroom's windows, filled up the bottoms of the chimneys and fixed boards across the kitchens window.
Then Nat realized that if that was going to keep on happening, they would need food and things to keep the fire on. When he looked up to the sky saw that the sky was dark, like the day before.. the sky was dark because there was only birds, so he thought that the birds would attack again, they needed to be inside the house before that happen but Jill was on school.. so he walk to the bus stop to take her home. While he was waiting for Jill he saw that there was more birds in the sky, so when Jill arrived he told her to go home quickly. The farmer gave a lift to Jill and Nate was walking behind them 'cause the car was full.. when he was close of his house birds started to attack him, they cut him, he had blood on his face, hands and neck. He arrived home and locked the doors. The birds started to attack again.
Ending: Nate knew that he was going to need food and things to keep the fire on, so when the sun started to shine he left the house and went to the farm to take some food. He saw the farmer, lying on the floor, dead.. there was nothing Nate can do, he had no time, so he took the food and went home. He never said anything about Trigg (the farmer) he did not wanted to frighten his family. Once they had the provisions they locked the doors and stayed in home all the night. His wife turned on the radio but no sound came from it. So there they were.. waiting for salvation, being attacked for birds, understanding that the birds were having a revenge, killing people like people kill birds-

Great job!
