PROLOGUE

This story is based on how we saw the true events from the sidelines.

In 1899,

The streets of New York City rang with the whispered legends of the birds.

Carrying the news of Spot Conlon, Jack Kelly and other giants of the city streets world.

On every street corner, you never saw them, watching everyone and everything.

Bringing together the stories of the city a whistle for wisdom.

Poor orphans and runaways, the birds were a ragged army,

without a story, until one day all that changed…

Note to Readers: This is based on the vague idea of Brooklyn Birds - as Spot Conlon suggests birds told him about the strike, we have taken that one line and gone running off into our imaginations. This is a story collaboration between many members of the NML (Newsies Mailing List) Each chapter is going to be written by a different writer, a different bird, and a different perspective. The chapters are based on the exact matching titled chapter of the DVD, as this is going to be the birds account of the Newsies Strike (aka the movie) if you are interested in helping out with this writing project, please send me a message! We are looking for more birds, there is a possibility if we get enough writers we might make this into a choose your own bird to follow adventure of the movie! Let us know what you think!
