Soft Feathery Wing

I walk outside my back door and I see a red light.
It gets hotter and hotter, animals disappearing, koalas homes destroyed.
I turn around and my house is gone.
There's nowhere to go.
All of a sudden a flock of birds come by.
I feel a soft feathery wing across my face and then it drops.
The forest shakes, lifting me off my feet.
I fall back and the ground is burning.
A ring of fire around me.
I begged the wind to come but it just drifted by.
Then I saw an Orange-bellied Parrot, the last of its kind. It flies away, trees falling on the left and right of it.
I try to help it but I can't.
I'm trapped and then rain falls saving my life and the Orange-bellied Parrots.
