This is a tale of a friend, I hope I get to see him again.


It's all true in reverse!


See that boy? He has a chip on his shoulder. Every time I cross paths with the boy, I see the crows that have gathered. Peek peek peek. The popiseed colored birds just can't leave the boy alone. Peek peek peeking away at the boy.

Even though I don't know him, I find myself wondering, why the crows seem spellbound to him. As if there was no one else they could feast on. Each time are paths cross, I dare to walk closer to him, almost knocking in to him, yet the birds don't even bother with me.

See the young man? We have become good friends. We banter and laugh. Still the young man is plagued by creatures, vultures, arrogant little beasts. So I decided to learn how to willed a sword. To cut his demons out of the sky. But the birds where always faster. Peek peek peek. They are killing him.

Even though I gave him my friendship, and took up a sword. The black beaten doves where spellbound. He was there only sores of survival. It's his life or theirs. And he was tired of fighting. And what kind of a friend am I? Stubborn enough to force him. Would you call that cruel?

See that man? He has become my other half. My mirror image. The crows are as savage as always. But I would never stop fighting them. For what am I without him. My world now completely intertwined with his. I will pluck out each maggot eating vermin from the sky, as they come. No more peeking.

Even though I know I can't get all of them.
Maybe I can give him a chance to rest.
To be free of those demons, if only for a few moments at a time. I still don't know why they won't take me. I've offered myself up so many times. I just wanna see him without the energize vampires draining him clean. Im consumed with the thought of what he would become than. SO TAKE ME! the rejection from the crows is starting to hurt.

Peek peek peek.
Peek peek peek!
