The Bird

Whelp, I got attacked by a bird.

I was on my daily walk, trying to defeat the 15 pounds I’ve gained since the lockdown. On my way back I took a little lightly wooded concrete path.  As I emerged into the open a saw a woman.  She was looking at me and her mouth was going and going, and she was pointing all over the place.  It seemed she was trying to communicate something to me.

I popped out an ear bud, and heard her say, “There’s a bird attacking people.”  

Instantly, I felt someone tapping on my right shoulder.  I whipped around to see who was attacking me, and indeed saw a little white bird flying away.

He had attacked me.

The woman was invested in standing and observing these attacks, and perhaps warning potential victims.

Not me.

I continued my walk home.

And there is the most interesting thing that has happened since the lockdown began.
