What is the story 'The Pigeons Around Here Aren't Real' about?
So I figured we would read probably two or three of them and just get a feel for the author. Because a lot of these... titles of these stories are really cool i think we're going to start with a package marked return to cinder move into the pigeons around here aren't real and then end off with it all started with a hot air balloon i don't know i just i i think that the the titles are fun and also i love these little these little dives on uh authors that have like shorter bodies of work it's fun to kind of like get the just like quick glimpses of these stories i think uh
that Manon, I'm not seeing like a ton of published work, but it looks like a thing he does a lot of is he crafts like these little Halloween decorations, stuff like that. Like he does little sculptures of like jack-o-lanterns and go, So if you go to his Twitter, which is the same name as his NoSleep, Manon Lysette, or Manon Lysette, however it's pronounced, he has a link to an Etsy page called Manon's Pumpkin Patch, and he crafts little, like, Christmas ornaments that are skulls and ghosts and stuff like that. It looks pretty cool. He also has a children's book he made, apparently, Little Pumpkin and the Fairy Lights, which is about, like, a little jack-o'-lantern pumpkin patch and stuff, and it looks very cute. So this guy's, like... These little figurines are sick. He's like an artist, but not in just talking about dead people and gross stuff like us. In a more legitimate way.
Are we sure this is also a man? Have we... Are we, are we for sure?
This is, I was assigning, um, I was assigning, uh, a gender there when I have no idea what that, I think the word man in like subtly put into my brain, man. Uh, but I don't know that this person, whoever this is, It does little figurines.
You know what? You said man. I'm just going to say woman. I have no idea. I mean, it doesn't really matter to me. I don't give a fuck. But I like the titles of these stories. I'm very excited. Especially just the pigeon one. Birds freak me out. I just don't like birds. You know what I mean? I don't like the thousand mile stare that birds give. It's just... I don't know. If you don't have eyelids, it's like, what's the point or whatever? Do birds have eyelids? It's a quick Google. I'm almost positive. That's going to be a, yeah, I think I don't know if all of them, I'm almost positive. Yes. Birds have eyelids. They have three eyelids. Okay. Well that makes it even worse. Yeah.
How did the author come up with the idea for the pigeon eggs?
Well that's upper eyelid, lower eyelid, and then nicotitating, nicotitating membrane, a translucent third eyelid that moves horizontally across the eye from inner to outer. Oh my God. I do love a nice parrot, though. Or a toucan.
Is this the part where you launch into a story about you watched a parrot get molested or something when you were a child? No, no, no. Actually, I can give you a quick story about a bird.
