Sparrow

“I’m feeling restless, reckless, like flying up at night and never coming down.” –Sparrow, a normal, 14-year-old girl who occasionally likes to turn into a bird.

They find her on the rooftop. Next thing she knows, Sparrow is whisked to the hospital, charged with suicide watch, and assigned a mental therapist. No one believes that she was not about to jump.
