Friday Fiction: 100 Word Challenge

“Is that you, Grandma?” asked Alisha. They poured tea and pored over photos.
“Yes, I couldn’t have been more than 7 at the time.”
“What kind of bird are you holding?”
“Been 80 years. I’m blessed just to see it.”
“No worries, Grandma.” Alisha produced a smart phone and sent a close-up of the bird in the photo to a database in the Cloud for resolution.
A wait cursor later: “A Spotted Puffbird, Grandma!”
“Wonderful!”
Tea and chatting ended abruptly with the door kicked in.
“EPA! YOU’RE UNDER ARREST FOR VIOLATING THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT…”
