There is lots of magic in these lines, it's sort of sad too. I can't bear a dead bird. Those pies are a community, a dynasty. I see them in a different light now with fairies in their hearts. How beautiful.

A sad but ultimately satisfying second part, Paul. So nicely done. I can imagine the silence in their house and the welcome presence of the cat wandering in. I suppose you have to make allowances for people's coping strategies in such sorrowful...
