The truck continued to go along at a smooth pace, the veil of night keeping most of the city's traffic to a minimum. Tiffany sat in the corner of the truck's spacious interior, as it was a moving-van sort of truck rather than having actual seats. This suited Tiffany perfectly, as she would take up about three regular seats due to her wings. So there she sat, with her arms hugging her legs. To her left sat "Jigs", who was in the freak show as the "worlds fattest man". At the other end of the truck's spacious back compartment stood Harvey. He looked like a regular guy, except his nose stuck out about seven inches, and his neck was unusually long. "Bird man", they called him. Tiffany didn't feel like she fit in with these people. These people were all adults, having lived their whole life as outcasts. Being at home only in this dying buisness. But Tiffany knew what it was like to be normal. She missed it.
Suddenly, she was interrupted in these thoughts by a giant jerking of the truck. She heard the screeching of tires and the wailing of sirens. With a great crash, Tiffany was sent flying out of the back of the truck, the large gate in the back having been broken loose. Terror struck into Tiffany's hear like a knife, as the seconds of groundlessness stretched into what felt like hours. Her mouth opened in a voiceless scream and she flapped her wings like mad, as things went from slow motion to overly sped up. Tiffany could feel herself rising up into the air, but she kept her eyes completely shut. Her heart felt like it was trying to fly out of her chest, and the only way she could keep it in was by yelling at the top of her lungs, over and over and over again. Eventually, she stopped screeming and wrapped her arms around herself, still feeling scared. Still rising higher and higher, Tiffany's wings soon tired out and she let herself slowly flutter back towards the earth. Like awaking from a nightmare, she opened her eyes and looked down. Unfortunately, she was met with another nightmare. There, directly below her, was the body of Harvey, along with a few other of her "co-workers" spread across the pavement. Every one of them looked lifeless. From so high up, they seemed like dolls, cast aside by an uninteresded child. Tiffany couldn't take it, and rather than lightly touching down to the ground, she altered her course and went on at full speed. She just wanted to get away from it all! Unfortunately, Tiffany's wings were still tired and she felt herself begin to spiral toward the ground. And there, right in front of where she was going to land, were three running figures. Tiffany closed her eyes, and braced for impact.
