Oscar's dreaming...
Oscar walks down a sidewalk, surrounded by nothing but short grass, flowing off into the horizon in all directions. The sky is blue and not a cloud is in sight, it’s a bright day and the sun is high. As Oscar walks, he keeps his eyes trained on the sidewalk around him. He sees something fall into the grass next to him, hearing the soft thud as it lands. He turns to look and sees a fallen raven, wings folded and body still, he starts to look forward again as he walks, not slowing or quickening his pace
More birds fall
He watches them
They fly through the air toward his place on the sidewalk before diving down and landing all around him.
He wakes up.
