in the cold hour of winter midnight a man skulks the streets of Ontario. Hands bloodied, tucked deep within the pockets of his coat as he paces down the sleeted path, high above a raven circles above the man, croaking sonorously in the dead of night following the man to his home. Entering his home, the man sanitised his hands, his knob , burns his coat and jeans in the blaze of his furnace changing into a new attire befitting of the cold night. As soon as he lay on his chair a sudden "KRAK,KRAK,KRAK" reverberated . He looked and their lay the crow on the kitchen counter gawking at him with it's bottomless pits. As he moves for the window a "thud" followed by a sharp "shh" came from behind, before he could turn something lodged in his throat and pulled out, blood seeped down in the gallons. The man falls, a shadow of a human figure looms over him with a stillness matching that of the cold air.
