    I remember moving some equipment into a house I was working at in the dead of winter. sitting on the main line to the house was a big ruby red cardinal. I smoked a cigarette and stared at him for a minute or two before I went in to tie the main back in. I crossed my equipment in and the circuit popped bright and closed the main. never had that happen before. put everything back together and went about my business.

    about an hour later I go outside for a cigarette and that beautiful cardinal lay dead on the sidewalk with its brains all over. I fried the poor dude.

      I'd like to think that the red cardinal had done something really fucked up and you were simply the conduit for the vengeance of the Bird God.
