When we were young, my friend and I convinced my friend's little brother that the birds were calling out his name.
"Pete! Pete!"
He listened and a look of shock spread across his face as he heard it.
"Pete! Pete!"
It was the time of year when big black evil looking birds gathered and swarmed in big black masses across the cold sky. I think he must have thought that they were going to get him.
