Eagle Eye Story Synopsis

Eagle Eye is a proud eagle working the salmon spawning grounds to feed his family. He returns to the aerie with alarming news. The human people have vanished. He has flown everywhere observing the sudden strangeness of empty cities, freeways, farms and fields. He prides himself on keen vision, but is disturbed by this inexplicable situation; some piece of a puzzle is missing. He can’t see it.

Eagle Eye has an affinity for the humans. He thinks they had better come back. They better come back soon. He is discussing this with his wife when their fledgling daughter, with typical adolescent idealism, leaps from the nest exclaiming, “I’ll figure it out!”

Eagle Eye Daughter flies down river and in and out of seasons and through many years, encountering numerous and diverse animals, each with their own puzzle piece for how systems work and how the humans seem forever to be just outside of their own logic.

Eagle Eye Daughter returns after many years to her father, Eagle Eye, who is now very old, blind in both eyes and dying. She has seen much in her travels, but the puzzle pieces remain jumbled.

Meanwhile… we find out what happened, and where the people actually went, and in what manner they returned.
