A small flock of little brown birds, converged and diverged, in the air and on the floor, converged and diverged, through the long terminal of the airport.
"The airplane was hit just after takeoff by birds, a large flock. Fortunately, no one was injured."
"The cruise ship sank, spilling it's passengers into the water. Over 120 Americans were on board, and several Americans are still missing."
Just looking at these three items and ignoring what's prompt and what's Tom: if they were arranged so that the 'flock of brown birds' came last, that would create retrospective piquancy and prescient dread.
