A unique and tender story with just the right amount of disturbingness to make it truly stand out in my mind.
And you write Gin in a wonderfully compelling way. My breath audibly hitched when he pronounced judgment on the bird, which I presumed to be a mockingbird.
Mockingbirds are some of my favorite creatures in the world. They identify and interact with people, and I used to have a regular morning conversation with one that lived right outside my window. (OK, stop looking at me like that. LOL)
And I apologize for adding something to your story that you didn't intend, but I can't help but imagine Gin's real reason for killing ol' Mockingbird wasn't because it was a thief. He killed it 'cause it was trying to voice a warning.
