I have a friend #1

I have a friend named Sea Turtle. Sea Turtle reminds me of my brother. Sea Turtle is methodical and often has problems with the tidetables set by the moon. Despite this lapse in time management, Sea Turtle's calm and patient composure brings an intellectual strength: when faced with hunger Sea Turtle figures out how to get a jellyfish every day instead of looking for a fast snack. Sea Turtle is an adventurer who puts themself into new environments constantly. Sea Turtle jumps into every new tunnel and wave with passion filled fearless grins. My time with Sea Turtle often has me teaching. I have taught Sea Turtle every bodily folktale I know. Sea Turtle has learned that wiggling ears and scratching one's nose brings good luck. Sea Turtle lets me humor myself as their master, playing with my absurd ideas despite their own knowledge that my hearsay magic has no actual strength. Ever since our middle year, Sea Turtle has been a fun, small, presence in my life that I am grateful for.

I have a friend named Pterodactyl. We hatched as eggs together and were nurtured in our neighborhood nest. Then Pterodactyl and I fell from the high building to fly our separate ways. For millennium we sailed the winds independently with our shared past a lost history. Pterodactyl became a well adjusted no shit leader with a kind twinge. I became myself. When we met again, neither of us knew how few meters once separated us. We arrived at each other's claws through mutuality in our flock. Are high years had us knowing the other's modern self, and we spent time together through group functions. Pterodactyl and I learned of our past adventures once again through our mother's friendship. An interesting turn, a quaint fact, but by the time of this truth, we had a single moment left. A wind was coming, a swoosh that would take us off to new worlds far apart.
