"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.
