"A bird?" Mark, her roommate, finally asked, sounding defeated. He was sprawled on the couch, surrounded by textbooks. "Seriously? The noise, the mess… the potential for an avian apocalypse?"

Sarah stopped, a glint in her eyes. "Think of the freedom! The soaring! The chance to create a tiny, feathered friend. It'll be a little slice of heaven, right here in the apartment!"
