when i sleep i like to keep my windows open, because the noise in the morning helps me get out of bed. lately it was very quiet. everybody had left town because of the summer holiday, i thought.
it took me a few days to realize: the birds are missing. no chirping and tweeting cacophony anymore. sometimes a single one every other day for a little while, but that's it. it's so quiet.
a parasite is killing them all, they say.
instead my neighbour's dog howls at the moon. every now and then.
