Crows Cawing

Every morning I lay in bed listening to the crows cawing. It’s really beginning to bug me so I decided to do something about it. I waited for the crows to take flight. I lifted the rifle, took steady aim and squeezed the trigger killing one of them instantly. Leaving feathers spinning in a whirlwind.

Flash 55 It's fun exciting and definitely a challenge making sure to use no more than fifty five words and no less of course and you must read the ones of your fellow writers. Gmans Place Let the G-Man know if you write one Why Gman's? Place because he's the Man who came up with this great Idea.

1994 – 2010

Monkey Man said...: May have made you feel good for the moment, but you give crows too much credit for brains thinking they won't be back as a result of a murder of a murder member. Thanks for coming by to see my 55. for others: My 55 is here.; 1/15/2010 10:31 AM

Dr.John said...: Poor crows. There only sin bother you.
Well written 55.; 1/15/2010 4:13 PM
hope said...: Guess they're referred to as a "murder of crows" for a reason. :)

I don't belong to PETA. And I have a hubby who occasionally trains his shotgun on the crows attacking the pecan trees.

Have a good weekend!; 1/16/2010 11:38 AM
