Of all the birds, crows are the most ignored species. "Oh look, a disgusting bird." "They are terrifying." "Don't go near them." That's what we hear in everyday life. But little they know that if crows never excited, this world will come to an end. Crows eat garbage, they are disgusting. But because of crows, we survive.
Crows live in a close knit group or families that not only feed together but also protect their young ones together. Quite strangely, a group of crows is called a 'murder'. They are known to be the most intelligent birds and are always able to detect danger. But if they are caged?
Normally a caged bird is a beautiful bird everyone loves. Normally no one cages a crow. So the crows always live their life freely. But when they are caged they loose the freedom. That means caging removes their only thing that other birds can't have. It means the moment crow becomes caged it loses it's worth.

Wives' Murder Club
The dates match. Everything added up. How could I not realize it? The bodies. The charges. The gossip. The rumours. The accuracy. The deaths. Every single body went missing. They were right, I should have listened. I knew something was weird, but not this bad. Church on Sundays, book club on Mondays, Bible study on Wednesdays, their kids' games on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Charity donations on Fridays, and dates on Saturdays. I guess its true what they say. The biggest monsters don't hide in the darkness of your closet. Instead, they smile in your face in broad daylight. The worst demons don't conceal themselves in your shadow. They thrive in the light. The darkest souls own the brightest smiles. A light so captive, you don't even realize they've gotten so close. Don't even realize when you've befriended them and their darkness has touched you. So, Sometimes, to find the ugliest monster, you have to look in the mirror. P.S, the tags should serve as a warning as well. This story is my own, which means I own the characters, plot, etc. However, I did get some inspiration from James Patterson's WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB, just with a slight twist ;)
