Royal Crow

The sky was clear and the streets were clear except for a bird. No wait it wasn’t just any bird it was a crow. One single crow. Its feathers were very smooth and neat. Its feathers were the color of coal. It looked like something that an artist would draw with such precision that came from years of observation. This crow also had such a distinct caw that whenever people passed they were fascinated rather than appalled.  Whenever people passed they walked by with such caution they felt as if the street belonged to the crow and anything could disturb it. They treated the crow as if it were a king or a royal heirloom rather than a disturbance. Sometimes the crow would go look for things to eat but it always came back to the same desolate street.

            One day some new people moved onto the block. It was a family that consisted of a mother, father, and an only child. The child’s name was Andrea. Andrea was very spoiled she believed that since she had blood from Queen Isabella from Spain she deserved to be treated like a princess and so it was.  One day she asked for a dog and her parents gave her one. It was a French poodle. Once this poodle got introduced to the neighborhood, people would stop and observe the poodle’s beauty. This poodle was named Fifi. Fifi was small and white. Everybody thought the poodle was so adorable that they barely paid attention to the crow. One day the crow went into Andrea’s backyard and Fifi started to bark at it. Andrea looked out the window and she quickly went into the yard and shooed the crow. “Go away you dumb bird!” shouted Andrea.  That was a grave mistake.  The crow went to the electrical wire and started to caw. This time instead of having a fascinating caw it sound like a screeching sound. It cawed but the family did not notice. Until finally Andrea got mad and shouted “ SHUT UP YOU STUPID BIRD!”

            It was then night time and the whole family was asleep. The crow then came back into Andrea’s yard, which caused Fifi to bark and Fifi began to run towards the crow. The crow decided to fly towards the dog and peck at her eyes. The dog then began to cry and Andrea quickly went to go see but it was too late. Fifi had gotten her eyes picked out.
