Fauna

In a different world, when I'd see large birds overhead, they'd glide off to the distance, only briefly in frame, recognizable as hawks and eagles, maybe ravens.

In limbo, when you see large birds overhead, they circle in black oily clusters. In the distance, you can't tell what they are, but when they land, you can walk up close and peer at their featherless, wrinkled heads and blackened beaks. They will not flee. They'll glance your way with their soulless yellow eyes, but they will not be moved. In limbo, the only large birds are vultures, and they're everywhere.
