The Hummingbird Catcher | A 100 Word Story
#771 - Condor's Wife
No one’s ever seen the Hummingbird Catcher but everyone’s heard of him. The name was given to him by his father who taught him how to catch a hummingbird in his bare hand. Legend has it, a man who can catch a hummingbird in flight can do anything. And this catcher eats the souls of those who dare to doubt him.
He’s been known to sit perfectly still for days on end, waiting for the moment when a hummingbird draws near. Then he snatches it out of the air and squeezes it tightly.
Hummingbirds fear him and so should you.

I don't like him! Great post.
He must be awfully quick to catch a hummingbird. What a fiend.
