Twilight for a Vulture
Imka the vulture cannot find food in the forest; neither can he see any other vulture. He sets out for the city where he finds so many vultures. There is food in the city when Imka arrives. But there is also death. Sakko, Imka’s friend, falls into a trap and dies of hunger and misery in the grind of desolation. Later, food also forsakes the city, and Imka together with two other vultures, set out for Parsee country where they hope to find food only to be overtaken by blight and ruination on the way.
