Ted: Songbird

It was a dark and stormy nightingale, with deepest black and indigo feathers that drew Henry out of his funk. Undeniably a nightingale, the press named it Stormy because of it's unusual colors. Henry saw the report and was starstruck. He had to see the bird in person, hear her song. Henry bathed for the first time in a month, shaved, brushed his teeth. He wanted to look good for the bird that the news was caling a fluke 'mutation.' The teenager who was caregiving at the sanctuary let Henry listen. That was enough, it gave him hope again.
