Daily story, June 11, 2025

Two little pigeons on a branch, fluffing up their feathers. They have only been pigeons for a day, and they don’t quite know what they are doing yet. Before that they were books, hurled out of a window with a curse that left them to flutter away. The pigeons feel there is great knowledge in them, but they don’t know how to share it, so they fluff up their feathers and shit on the cars. Already, more people have looked at the pigeons than ever looked at the books.
