I could see that the juvenile seagull was still alive after being hit by a car. I stopped in the intersection, took off my fleece and wrapped him up in it. I put him in the back seat while feverishly wondering how I could get him to the SPCA and still make it to SF in time for a Litquake writing seminar I was hosting. But when I got home and put him in a box, he gasped once, twice, three times and was gone. It had been a hard week anyway but this shredded me. Maybe unhappy endings feel more acute on the rare occasion were being our best selves? On the way to the city I stopped on Skyline and gave him a Native American burial, with nothing above him but acres of sky.
