On the seashore facing the pier, seagulls squawk as they swirl overhead. The smell of salt fills the air, and the gentle, dull roar of the waves lapping the beach is omnipresent. A gentle breeze blows, and the chatter of the villagers fishing drifts down to the shoreline from the pier.

I live in a very old village on the bad side of the country. The villagers are nice where I live but we get a bad reputation. The forest behind my village is known to have magical creatures in it. I know the villagers are not allowed in the forest but we want to explore and find something new.
Why do you keep swooping down on me, seagull? Mine! Mine! I mean do you have any food? I don't but I think there are some scraps of fish down by the shore.  Sounds great. I'm starving. Want me to bring you some? Ummm...I appreciate the offer, but I think I'll pass. When is the last time you ate? 2 days ago. Every time I find food another seagull steals it from me  Oh no! You must be starving. I'll go down to the shore with you.  That's very kind. What brings you out here? I don't want to interrupt  I'm just trying to clear my mind. The sounds of the waves always makes me forget about my troubles.  They are peaceful except for us annoying seagulls. Sorry I came off so aggressive. I usually try not to be like the others  That's ok. All of us need to eat, right? Do you have a seagull family around? No I am all alone. That's why the others pick on me. I wish I was a pretty song bird
