While on leave from work due to a back injury, Brendan discovers a dead pigeon, killed by a cat, in his back yard. The mutilated carcass sets him off on a heavily medicated train of existential thought: what if...?

Taken from Karl van Cleave's forthcoming collection, entitled 'Incisions, Collisions and Aborted Missions', 'Broken Wings' is climical, brutal and existential.
