(1,725 posts)When choosing a word that fits the gruesome tone while being more accurate, they should have considered:
Swarmed: This is the most common and accurate term for a large group of animals or insects crowding or moving around an object.
Besieged: This suggests the suitcase was under a kind of "attack" or completely overwhelmed by the birds.
Overrun: Similar to swarmed, this implies the vultures have completely taken over the space around the suitcase.
Enveloped: This suggests the birds were so numerous they completely covered or obscured the suitcase from view.
Blanketed: Often used to describe a thick layer of something (like birds) covering a surface.
Objects are saturated with a substance (e.g., "saturated with blood''), but being "saturated by vultures" implies the vultures themselves have soaked into the fibers of the suitcase, which is physically impossible.

This guy must have a wizard for a lawyer. Or he has money. Or he has a relative in the justice system.
