Nice atmospheric piece.
Gotta wonder about the strange man though. Couldn't be sure if he was real and what'd he do with the baby bird? Not that he matters though, the central interest is this strangely wonderful wounded woman, a cross between Miss Haversham and Alice.

I liked the calmness of the writing. It would have been easy to overdo it, but you didn't. 
Jwf - I took it that the man in black was our old scythe-bearing friend.

Yes, I think it was good that I stopped writing and didn't add this and that.
that's the one

Aha!
And here's me just having read Mort and Reaper Man in the past week and not making the connection.

...and the name "da Quirm" shoulda been a dead giveaway!

I like Death. As character.
(I added that name because dmitrigheorgheni once said to me 'you *are* Leonard da Quirm!')

I never really formulated the though properly, and I have no idea why this is - but the 'Quirm' part of your nickname has always made me think of owls, for some reason.
