I was riding in my truck today, on a two lane road with another car to my left, both of us going about 45 mph. The song playing on the radio kept singing "death or glory becomes just another story, death or glory becomes just another story". Just then, a little bird, a sparrow I believe, darted across the front of my truck towards the car to my left. However, since I was about 4 feet ahead of the car to my left, the bird didn't see the second car and slammed into the front of the other car with a loud thump. I quickly glanced in my rear view mirror only to see the bird roll over dead onto the side of the road. The song on the radio kept singing, "death or glory becomes just another story, death or glory becomes just another story".
Wow. That is something. I just don’t know what to say about that. Something like that would have me awake for hours, and maybe that’s why I’m still awake..
Yea, it was a really odd moment. I felt a weird feeling, but I can’t describe it. It was so ironic, the way the song was playing those exact words at that exact moment.
It makes me wonder how many other things around the world died in the time those words were sung on the radio…
😥 poor bird. I smacked a bird with my car once, but since that song was not playing it was still alive, just stunned.
