Writing Exercise: "A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings"

During a ferocious storm, an angel fell from the sky and was sucked into the mud, unable to move. A man named Pelayo eventually stumbled upon him and pulled him out, only to imprison him in a dung encrusted chicken coop. Common folk visited from far and wide so they might see this servant of God. However, the spectators soon lost interest because he could only perform small miracles. Their attention was diverted to a traveling freak show featuring a woman with a tarantula's body as the main act. After living with Pelayo's family for a while, the man from Heaven soon sprouted new wings and flew off in awkward flaps. As quickly as the angel became a sensation, he was forgotten.
