The Crystal Swans David K Bird

He slowly turned his gaze back to the lake, he looked at the swan, it flexed its wings and in a brief moment its head changed shape and he found himself looking into the face of a person he knew so well, he closed his eyes, and looked again, it was just a swan, was his mind playing tricks. The swan was now beating its wings vigorously, the sound of the wings slapping the water's surface disturbed the silence. It was moving faster now, out across the lake on its take off run, Richard remained watching as it flew gracefully from the surface of the water and climbed high into the sky growing smaller as the distance between them increased. Had he seen a ghost or was it purely an over active mind had he in fact witnessed the strange phenomena classified as paranormal activity. I suppose it depends what you believe in or totally disregard
