So far, everything had gone according to his plans: he closed the door and was just about to run his car when suddenly Gregory, a raven, appeared on the mask of his car. The raven wore his most elegant red hat with a black ribbon. This could only mean trouble.
-Daniel, I found you! – he exclaimed
–Indeed– replied Daniel.
-Stop, do not speak!-Gregory interrupted - Our queen wants to see you. Fly with me to Alaska!
-But.. I had plans… I even closed the door and I was about to run my car when you suddenly… What?! Why to Alaska? Our queen lives two streets from my house. – Daniel was thrown off the balance.
-Yes, I know. But I love you and here, in the US, marriages between a homosexual raven and a man are forbidden. We have to fly to Alaska where our love can truly expand! – Gregory explained.
Drops of sweat appeared on Daniel’s forehead. It was the worst scenario he could dream of. Of course Daniel was always fully aware of Gregory’s feelings towards him, but it did not mean he shared them. He liked that weirdo – it just was not the kind of relationship that would satisfy his grandmother!
There was no other choice.
-I am SO sorry, Greg, I have just realized I got a diarrhoea, so.. maybe some other time? – he made up hastily.
Oh.. well.. OK. -quoth the raven and flew to Burger King, where he worked during weekends.
