OVERALL IMPRESSION -
Solid story about this bird saving her life.

WHAT I LIKED BEST -
Smart and observant bird. I was surprised she brushed off the warning and drank the entire pot, and even more shocked at the outcome of realizing what Dave tried to do to her.

PLOT~
Laura is mostly a loner aside from her husband Dave. One day a bird in a cage appears on their doorstep. The parakeet begins talking and lets them know his name is Ricky. After a moment of shock, Laura begins to engage the bird telling Ricky all of her problems. Suspecting Dave is cheating, she unloads this to Ricky. One day Dave gives her a drink that makes her feel funny, and she goes to bed to sleep it off. The next morning, Ricky warns her not to drink the pot of coffee Dave has left for her, but she does so anyway.

CHARACTER(S)~DESCRIPTION~
Laura is lonely and welcomes Ricky giving her someone to confide in. She couldn't fathom that her husband would try to kill her until the drugged coffee makes her sleep again and a vivid premonition in dream form shows her whats to come. Laura's reactions were described well, and so was that dream she had with the tarot cards.

DIALOG~
The dialog was just enough to give Laura a heads up before Dave could follow through with his plan. The scene with the lawyer at the end was funny.
