"Edwin and Old Jake" a short story by Craig Zimmerman

 Edwin the crow met Old Jake when the former was scrounging for snacks in the Walmart parking lot where they both lived.


Old Jake lived in a ramshackle RV and Edwin would often hang around to listen to the old man tell his stories. Edwin didn't quite understand all of the words, but he could sense the feelings of regret and loss coming from the old man.


Old Jake also liked to sing and Edwin and some of the other birds would listen for hours. 


One day Edwin went looking for Old Jake but he was nowhere to be found, It was often like that with the humans, they came and went.
