The life of a seagull

The life of a seagull is a life not well lived. As each day you live in constant fear that it’ll be your last. I myself have lived longer than anyone in flock, who knows how much longer I have. We live in a island far from mainland, controlled completely by Haast eagles. They are creatures of sizes you cannot imagine. And each day as we go out to hunt for food, they do the same. The only difference being, were there food. Each day at-least 5 of seagulls are taken to be slowly devoured by the awful creatures. I myself have survived for so long because there is not one second I am alert and under constant fear that it’ll be last breath. I wait until all the eagles have eaten and I quickly go in search got mine. I always bring another seagull with me, as I have come close death several times. But as I being one the fastest seagulls I know i can’t outfly the eagle, but all I need to do is outfly the other seagull with me. Sure it sounds like a cruel something to do, but it’s survival of the fittest here. Other than scavenging for food and living in constant fear there is not much more to the life of a seagull. Occasionally we get to get together and host meetings where everyone attends. People bring in there best ideas on how we can not live under constant fear, but there has been yet and idea that has worked. We have tried fighting back, but that only lead in us loosing more loved ones than we could’ve imagined, we also tried fleeing the island but the eagles got the best of us and surrounded the island making sure no one could leave. I don’t how much longer I can take just knowing we are nothing but pieces in the eagles game. One day I hope to get out, but until then I trapped in the meaning less life.
