Yes, Pigeons Can Dance!
And they’re surprisingly good at it!
Last night’s dream was too good not to share. It was the perfect setting. I was sitting on a bench, the river was flowing behind me, and a light breeze was running through my hair. People were walking around, and I was just having my burrito.
Now this would never happen in real life because there is way too much traffic and shouting in India.
But my dreams are weird!
So, on with my story…
Before I knew it, there was a crowd (I’m not sure what the collective noun is…) of pigeons. Music started playing out of nowhere, and the pigeons divided themselves into two groups.

Suddenly, a pigeon flew into the middle and started… dancing? Not sure, but it was good at it.
Then a pigeon from the other group shoved the other pigeon back to his group and started dancing too! I was so confused. I looked around, but no one was seeing this. I blinked rapidly to see if I was hallucinating, but no, they were still dancing. Or whatever you would call it. It was unlike anything I had ever seen.
After a few more rounds of that, all of the pigeons looked at me. Some pigeons hopped onto the bench and some onto my lap. I swear I have never felt more violated in my entire life. I asked them if they wanted me to choose a winner (yes, I was talking to pigeons, so?) and they started flapping their wings emphatically.
Got it.
I thought for some time and just as I was about to say it —
My alarm rang. Worst ending ever! I was as anxious about the result as the pigeons themselves, and that stupid alarm ruined it! I had never been as mad at myself as I was right then.
We accept submissions of any kind. Preferably something chaotic. New and old writers are welcome. No strict requirements. You can even use AI if the pigeons outside your window approve it. No need to ask to be added as a writer. Just follow us and you can submit your piece. Yeah, we’re that easy.
This publication needs a proper footnote like any other credible pub.
But this is an absurd one. So, whatever.
