I took a walk through the hills. I planed it in such a way where it was mostly down hill. Why strain herself?
There weren’t many people around. It was just me and the occasional barking dog, that went bonkers when I approached. Dogs are interesting that way. I wonder what they're thinking. Do they really want to do harm, or are they bluffing because they’re behind a fence. I’m not sure. I don’t want to test the theory. I was just wondering.
I was walking along, when I noticed an older woman with a water hose in her hand. She was washing down the sidewalk. I couldn’t tell what she was washing, nor was I all that interested. The only thing I could tell for sure was that the lady was hunched around the shoulders. I tried not to look at her as I neared. It was a nice day. I was looking at the trees and houses, and feeling a little awkward as approached the woman. She was busy. She didn’t see me coming. She looked intense from a distance.
I was walking along when out of nowhere I heard a hollow thud sound. I looked to see what it was, and it was a bird, a black bird of some kind laying flat on his back. Dead. It had dropped from the sky, and it landed on a driveway between the old woman and myself. I didn’t see anything out of the ordinary. The bird just dropped dead right in front of me. I was instantly frightened. The bird’s legs were sticking straight up in the air. It was terrible. I kept walking. I didn’t want anything to do with the bird. I thought perhaps it was a bad omen. When I walked past the old lady she looked at me with the most horrible of faces. She was hunched over. She reminded me of a peasant lady from the old country. She had cold, steely brown eyes, and when she looked at me, it was as if she wanted murder me right there and then. I’d never felt such terrible energy in my life. Can you kill a bird with bad energy? I kept walking. When I was some distance away I looked back at the lady, and wondered what it was all about?
