I sort of killed a bird


The sun was high, humidity was low, and I thought it was going to be a beautiful day until my trisikad driver and his trisikad accidentally ran-over a bird.

I was on the sikad on my way to work and I SAW IT DIE A VIOLENT DEATH.

The driver and I were about to depart when a bird settled over a pile of burnt garbage probably to forage for food. It took us about half a second to realize what was going to happen, but it was too late. The sikad's front wheel rolled over the bird JUST AS IT WAS ABOUT TO ESCAPE. I turned around and saw the poor thing twitching and squirming until it gave out its final sigh.

*SIGH



The sickening crunch of tiny avian bone matter will forever haunt my mind... so to blogger, it must go!
