A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings

At first this story rather made it sound humorous of the rather old and decrepit angel but I rather pitied the creature due to the torment of the the people trying to see him and touch him. The beginning of the story made it sound like he was never an angel at all since the story sounded like the angel was just a genetic experiment like in the book Maximum Ride which is about genetically altered humans who have bird wings that seem so natural on them. Nevertheless what made me change my thinking was the part when people came to the angel to be have a miracle done in their lives, but they rather turned out wrong. For instance the blind man receiving three new teeth instead of sight or the leper whose sores sprouted sunflowers. But I thought it rather interesting that the angel could not speak in the language of the family who held him captive and that whenever he flapped his wings it created a large gust of wind that grabbed any one's attention since it was not the normal gusts of wind that is herd everyday. I also thought that it was very interesting that whenever the angel was finally let out of the hen house cage, he went into the house and it seemed to everyone inside that he was everywhere at once. But the angel's physical appearance seemed to cry out that he was the angel of death for originally the parents and their wise neighbor assumed he had come for the child that was ill on the night that he crashed. Another clue that gave me the idea that he could possible be the angel of death or an angel of death, was his decrepit appearance and his old frail figure of an aged man, not to mention his wings were terribly looking for they had parasites in them. But what I most admire was the angel's patience for he had gone through torment by the many visitors who came to see him plus not acting out in anger for being poked with a hot branding iron. I think if I had been in that family as the father I would have nursed the angel back to health for it is not every day that you get to have a physical angel in your presence.
