Frank walked past his old workplace and the unlighted windows flashed briefly orange in the evening star accompanied sun as if saying hello , though would the building still have remembered him?

There seemed no one else around save a couple of pigeons seemingly pecking at nothing but warbling about something.

One of them gave up and flew at the building, apparently causing it, before they'd got anywhere near, to commence a slow crumble, crudely uncurtaining the operator of a bulldozer in front of the misty wood Frank had hardly ever had time to look at from his workshop window.

    Them thar pigeons are made of tough stuff. They seem to try to knock our house down too, often leaving their ghostly wing and body prints on the window glass... but amazingly surviving.

    Don't know why they do it?
