I was on the way to Question Mark Foods to pick up a loaf of bread and a bottle of milk when I saw a tree filled with snow. And since we’ve been having such unseasonably warm weather, I thought maybe I had lost my marbles.

Then I noticed the snow was moving. Then I saw there were large birds, many of them, and they did not look kindly upon me. So I kept walking in a hurry. Birds of those size could be dangerous, I suppose. But also, now that I think on it a bit, after all the turmoil of these last few weeks with the mayor being removed and all the disappearances, they were awfully beautiful as well.
