   Details

   They descended upon me as soon as I got out of the car and stood there in the parking lot, my hand digging in my pocket for my phone. They thought I had come to feed them. It was unnervingly reminiscent of that Far Side cartoon in which the old lady on the park bench gets covered in pigeons, and when they fly off, she is gone.
