With Wings The End

It had begun two weeks earlier, the first light event over much of the continent of North America and then the lights randomly pulsed from the sky over various geographical locations.

Any human being witnessing the light pulse would begin to grow a black bird from their chest. 

In a world where millions have already been affected and the skies filling up with birds, this is one story about one man who wants to remain on Earth after this strange apocalypse. His wife, however, has witnessed a light event and she is ready to take flight.
