Author's Note:

What if angels were real?...but what if they were real,and nothing like we expect them to be?"
:)

Based on a story by Literature Nobel Prize Winner Gabriel Garcia Marquez, “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings”.

(Pelayo, a coastal villager, discovers an old man with enourmous wings lying face down in the mud. The toothless creature is bald and dressed in rags. Pelayo and his wife, Elisenda suspect that he is a castaway from a ship. The couple plans to set him adrift on a raft, but they first imprison him in a chicken coop. When a large crowd gathers around the coop, Pelayo and his wife decide to charge admission to view him....and so begins the story of a very old angel...an angel of littles miracles.)

I'm a great fan of the magical realism of a great writer,to me the best living writer in the world today.
