Somewhere near the Asagawa in western Tokyo. Shot with the "plastic fantastic" Olympus 40-150mm.

The bird was about five meters away, the cyclists were probably about sixty meters off.

Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there.

—Anton Chekhov
