The Vulture (short story)
"The Vulture" (orig. German ''Der Geier'') is a short story by Franz Kafka, written sometime between 1917 and 1923.
==Plot summary==
A vulture hacks at the protagonist's feet until a man passing by asks him why he doesn't do anything about it. The protagonist explains that he is helpless to resist, though at first he tried to drive the vulture away, when he saw that it was about to attack his face he stopped, preferring to sacrifice his feet. The onlooker exclaims, "Fancy letting yourself be tortured like this!", and offers to go and get a gun to shoot the vulture. The protagonist asks him to hurry. The vulture listens to the conversation, then takes wing and thrusts its beak into the protagonist's head, killing him, but also drowning in his blood, as it flows on "filling every depth, flooding every shore."〔Kafka, Franz. ''The Complete Stories''. New York: Schocken Books, 1995. 442-443.〕
