December 18 - 7 soggy crebain: 1. Oops! by Aranel Took
He heard them coming, even through the pouring rain outside his window. Their raucous croaks grew louder, nearly drowning out the thunder, and the light from the open window was dimmed as the flock approached. Most would go to alight in the crannies of the tower. Seven came through the window--his appointed messengers--and landed on his desk in a flurry of wet feathers.
"Blasted birds!" Saruman yelled. He swiped a hand to clear them and picked up a parchment, it's fresh ink smeared by rain. He glared at them. The crebain wisely chose to make a hasty exit.
