so that's a wood thrush

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2015.09.13

Today I learned what a wood thrush is, by having a dead bird on our balcony to identify. The poor beast had struck a window and died. It's the migratory season, and this is happening all over our ill-placed city. The other morning I saw two dead song birds at street level outside First Canadian Place.

The way you write science fiction is: you sit down at your writing machine and you open your mind to the first thought that comes through. My first thought was always a cigarette.
