Quite Unred

A man was stranded on an island.

The man was very lonely, until one day a seagull flew up to him. The man was overjoyed to finally have some sort of companion. He and the seagull became friends, and spent all their time together. The man would run around the island, with the seagull flying closely behind, performing impressive loops and spins. They brought joy to each other's lives, and were very happy. But the seagull eventually became disinterested and flew away.

The man survived alone for a month until another seagull came to the island.

This time, the man had a plan. He took some rope he had made from jungle vines, and tied it around the seagull's neck. The seagull tried to fly away, but couldn't break the rope. And so the seagull flew around in circles day after day, and the man sat and watched him. Then one day, the seagull bit through the rope and flew off into the heavens. The man was very angry, and shook his fist at the sky in disgust.

The man was alone for another month.

When a third seagull visited him, the man broke its wings so it couldn't fly, ensuring that the it would stay with him forever. The seagull stayed by the man's side, and the man fed him regularly. But the seagull was violent, and pecked at the man's arms and legs and clawed at his eyes until the man couldn't take it anymore. He broke the seagull's neck and left him to rot by the beach.

Many other seagulls came to the island, but when they saw the body of the last seagull, they were afraid and left immediately, warning all the other seagulls of the danger.

The man lived alone on the island until he died.
