Murder
There were more of them today, perched in formation along the telephone wire.
“More! More!” said Asher, as if reading his thoughts.
“You can see them? The orderly said they were in my imagination.”
Asher stared out of the window, rocking on his toes and tapping his hands together rhythmically.
“Can you…hear them too?”
“Caw! Caw!” Asher laughed wildly.
Diggory sighed, that wasn’t what he meant. He rubbed his cloudy left eye, remembering the beak that had pierced it.
The collective name is a murder of crows.
Who had told him that?
Ava.
Eighteen pairs of eyes watched him intently.
N.B. This story is linked to one of my previous Friday Fictioneers tales. If you enjoyed Murder please check out The Garden.
