"If men had wings and bore black feathers, few of them would be clever enough to be crows."
 -Henry Ward Beecher.

These connected short stories are based on my observations of the crows which sometimes live in my yard, the outdoor cats which I fed there, and the interactions between them.

It is dedicated to my dear friend Adrienne, who loves cats and crows as much as I do, and also to my best friend Umm Dawud, whose family story inspired Dorian's retelling in the last chapter.Bảo Lưu Mọi Quyền

Under the Mango Tree: 101 Tales (1) bởi Dawnnbooks

Anthology of flash fiction based on a 100 prompts challenge with each story being 500 words or less. ISBN : 978-976-656-428-5 Written in response to a 100 Stories Challenge, UNDER THE MANGO TREE: 101 TALES is a collection of short stories. They range impressively from tributes to fathers to Caribbean Mythology to life on other planets to Vampires and Christmas. Yet somehow the Saint Lucian and at times Caribbean links run insistently through the stories. For example, it helps to know that the 758 number that manifests in so many sneaky ways, is the telephone area code for Saint Lucia. It warms the heart to know that in the future, the Caribbean Federation of Nations becomes a reality, even if it's in a short story. An entertaining read for all ages.

The Winged bởi _Tiny_Stories_

Surviving can be difficult when you're only a few inches tall. Fanged beasts see you as their prey, every creature is bigger than you, and the world seems to work against small things. Not to mention the struggles of getting from place to place... but the worst of it all? Humans. Once a year, every year, summer sweeps over the forest. The sun warms the leaves and the damp melts away until the world of the Winged flourishes. Those warm months are when survival becomes the hardest. Drawn by the beauty of the forest, humans of all kind invade the already dangerous home of the small Winged people. Fear of these monsters is shared throughout the tribes. One sacred piece of advice is known: avoid humans at all costs. They know only how to destroy and hurt. ___ Despite the protests of her close friend, Azure accepts a mission that takes her from the safety of her tribe. Things begin well despite her trepidation of the approaching summer months. That is, until she falls right into the hands of the very creatures she feared. ___ Completed! Beware of some crappy writing and stupid typos :0 Second part is on my account :) :)

Happy birthday, my dearest friends. This is a collection of short stories dedicated to all my friends' birthdays. We may not be as close as others, but since I know your birthday, why not celebrate it? It may not always be about us, it might be about your troubles.

There's Crows In The Garden | 3rd Life AU bởi YourLocalWillowTree

When Martyn was fifteen, he saw his first crow. The two stared at each other for a second- the bird's beady black eyes versus Martyn's green ones- and then the crow tipped its head, spread its wings, and flew off. Not long after, Martyn's mother came down with a sudden illness and passed away. Ever since then, Martyn's been traveling the land. If a crow shows up in the place he's in, he leaves as quickly as possible. They mean misfortune, he's puzzled out, so he shouldn't stick around when they're near. He doesn't want to get caught in the crossfire, after all. He hasn't ever been all that good at doing what he should, though. --- 3rd Life AU set in medieval times. Inspired by The Garden by The Crane Wives. Warning: If you haven't yet watched 3rd Life and don't want to be spoiled, I'd advise holding off on reading this story.

❝Coincidence doesn't happen more than twice❞ - Carlee James <<•>> Our small peaceful town wasn't always like this, sure there were arguments and fights but these... these deaths were completely strange and unbelievable. The next twenty-four hours could be you lying on the cold hard floor, mercilessly and brutally murdered by a creature, inhumane. We never knew why they were here, or what they were looking for, but slowly they no longer became the problem as we ourselves had secrets yet to be revealed. <<•>> [WARNING: please keep in mind, i wrote this book years ago as an amateur, it's not one of my best works and hasn't been thoroughly edited] <<•>> © Tracy Geoffrey┆2018 Bats and Wolves.

WHEN CROWS PAINT THE SKY [ONC 2025] bởi carolannewrites

Jocelyn Jones' life has always been practical - maybe a little too practical. At 44, she has spent years worrying about everybody else, trapped in a marriage whose spark fizzled ages ago. A tomboy at heart, Joss has never been the type to swoon over fairy-tale romances, nor has she ever conformed to society's idea of what a woman "should" be. But everyone has a breaking point, and one morning, over her granola and yogurt, she decides she's had enough. She will leave her suffocating marriage and take a road trip in search of something she's spent too many years trying to hide - herself. As Joss sets off on her self-discovery sojourn, a murder of crows seem to be following her every move. And when one crow - a sharp-tongued, sarcastic creature named Quentin- suddenly starts talking to her, everything changes. Because Quentin is no ordinary crow, Quentin is her new sidekick, an opinionated mentor, and possibly the only creature on earth who can match her dry wit. With every sarcastic quip and unsolicited piece of advice, Quentin helps Joss step into her power, embrace her flaws, and take firm hold of her future's steering wheel on the road of life. When Crows Paint the Sky is a road trip like no other - a humorous and heartwarming journey of self-acceptance and independence, with a little bit of magic thrown in for good measure. With Quentin by her side, Joss discovers that sometimes, the most important journey is the one that leads you back to yourself. #ONC2025 Prompt:120. The door that closed to you many years ago has reopened, and now it's up to you to take a chance once more.
