Birds-Eye-View is a collection of hidden excerpts from the MHG archives. Unpublished, unrevised, raw work posted everyday. Every morning since 2010 I have been writing three hand-written pages a day. Yellow legal pads are hidden in all the crevices of my house and I'm running out of places to hide. Birds-Eye-View is my attempt at sharing moments from these pages. For those of you looking for eclectic content from the inner sanctum of a woman—follow the birds. If you would like to donate to the continued publication of Birds-Eye-View send donation via Cash App to $MelissaHunterGurney or Venmo @gambaforest. ~ MHG
Florida Cormorant
She assured him that she knew the smell of death and that death was wafting out from beneath the sink.
Purple Heron
She could see him chewing now, thinking about the juice, reveling in the sound of each squirt.
