A murder of crows and a nightmare of ravens. A night of days and day of nights, on this dark day there was a boy. He had ran away from home and he was wandering the streets of a deserted ghost town in the middle of nowhere.
His mind-crowded with thoughts and regrets-noticed a raven perched on a sign reading... "home". As soon as their eyes met, the raven flew away. Having nowhere to go the boy followed the bird. He was lead into a corn field. He was not really giving anything much thought and just continued on the path the raven had set out. As if to taunt the boy, the raven would sit and wait when the boy was too far. But as soon as the boy was close enough the bird would begin to fly again further and further into the corn field. After almost an hour of walking the boy got tired and sat on a rock next to the road. The raven came and sat across from him on the pathway.
'Who are you?' the boy asked. With an obvious silence the boy looked away and started again...
'Do you want to know why I'm here? I killed the love of my life.' After uttering those last few words the boys eyes started tearing up.
'She was my all, and I killed her. She was sick you see... She couldn't control her emotions and got sad and depressive quickly. Two nights ago we had a fight, she said things, I said things and then I left. I made her cry and then walked out', he pleaded whiping tears from his eyes.
As if sensing that the boy was upset the bird came closer and then he continued.
'I came home an hour later having calmed down and found her hanging from the tree outside our house. I killed her, She was my all and I killed her!' The raven flew away and the boy got up wiped away his tears and followed.
Yet another hour of silence had passed when the bird finally stopped. But what the boy saw made him fall to his knees. a tree with a girl hanging from it. his soul mate, the reason he had ran was in front of his eyes yet again with a crow on her shoulder.
'Why!' He cried out. The raven had disappeared and the crow came closer to the boy as he sat crying. eventually the crow was close enough to touch and when the boy reached out the crow came to sit on his shoulder. Then with a cold breeze the boy heard a whisper.
'Its not your fault my love, I've always loved you but I'm in a better place now, I will always look after you. keep this crow and you will always have me with you.
