Dead Bird Causes Public Breakdown

So, I go to a local convenience store to get a cup of coffee to bring to the office. While standing in line to pay, the cashier yells that there is a little bird that flew into the window and is now lying in front of the door twitching. A guy moves it with his foot to get it out of the way.

I leave with my coffee and I see the bird. He is still alive but unable to move. I get my glasses case and with the help of a nice guy named Jim, move him to a non-traffic area. We stand there and watch the poor bird struggle, knowing that he will die soon. So I begin to sob. Loudly. People going in and out of the store are looking at me with alarm. Jim counsels me, telling me not to worry and that this is nature. I agreed, thanked him and left, still sobbing.

I am still sickened by this and want to go back and rescue this bird, knowing full well that I can't. So that's how my Monday started.
