        Pursuit of Power? I like the story of the last of a species being beaten to death by sailors who thought it had cursed them with bad weather.

        Now I’m picturing a pigeon fluttering up and whispering “it hurts, dickhead, am I right?” just before he expired.

        Wolfe in a different context: “There’s a great deal said against Death. I mean by the people that has to die, drawn’ her picture like a crone with a sack, and all that. But she’s a good friend to the birds, Death is.”

        I picture two pigeons laughing manically at his demise, and in the next scene they're all glum, having been conscripted as carrier pigeons in the trenches of WWI.
