Nov 2018
it is a new stove. i had it last year.



while away i left the door shut

on my return i lit the sticks and coal



november the fifth



i cleaned it next morning ready

and found the tiny bird by the door



inside



not even burned



yet dead



i have kept it photographed it



it was not a bonfire

it was an accident
