Life in the Empire

17 Storchs jave invaded our hamlet. I need to get a group photo. From what I've been told, each Stoch has chosen a house of his own to sleep on. Our bird here shows up at around 6 p.m. and leaves around 6 a.m. Just saw them flying high together, three or four of them. Magnificent birds.

I've never forgotten the day a stork was trapped in my shed. The postman delivered a letter from a family member so cruel and shocking that I couldn't bear to hear my own name, and changed it legally the next day. The stork and the letter came together, one to the front of the house and one to the back, and with them pains all over; so I put up a golden shield to reflect to sender and my mother (who hadn't written the letter) became terminally ill. What a day. Gently guided the stork out. Its wingspan filled the shed of course, unforgettable. I believe they're said to bring good luck.
