A murder of crows

8/12/2018

In June, I was in the middle of a four-mile run when I saw something ahead of me on the edge of the road. A small black garbage bag? A black rubber glove?

It was a crow.

And it was alive.

Every now and then it would try to move, but failed. Eventually its legs ended up behind it.

My gut feeling was that it wasn't going to live. And that seemed cruel, to let it suffer and die. But I didn't know what to do. I thought about picking it up and twisting its neck, which is how I've heard you kill chickens. But I didn't feel capable of doing it.

A older man was walking toward me. Together, we regarded the crow. "Birds live precarious lives," he said with a German accent.

A woman driving her car stopped. She rolled down her window. "Is it still there? Is it still alive?" She had spotted it a few hours earlier.

When we said yes, she said she couldn't stand to think of it suffering. Her plan was to run over it several times. I asked her to wait until I had run down the hill. When I looked back over my shoulder, the older man had walked on and the woman was trying to line up her tire. I ran faster.

A minute later she passed me and slowed down again. "I couldn't do it," she admitted.

When I got home, I called the Audubon society. They thought it was possibly a fledgling crow. And they said that fledgling crows often end up on the ground but are fine. They have blue eyes, but otherwise are hard to tell apart from full-grown crows. In fact, they are not much smaller.

So was my crow a fledgling? I don't think so. And even the Audubon said it was a very bad sign that it could not get its feet under it.

I still wonder if one of us should have killed the crow. And if we had, would it have been a mercy or a murder.

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.

It is true that this man known as Priest Odunga can help someone get their ex back. My daughter Melissa is 28 years old. She and Lyon have been dating for 3 years until they broke up for 8 months. I want my daughter to be happy as she was very miserable with the break up. At the office, a colleague told me to contact Priest Odunga and gave me his whatsapp number but I was not sure of what to do if it would be ok to contact someone as a Priest to help me. I reluctantly contacted him to help my daughter get her boyfriend back and I paid for the items he asked me for. I would say it was not easy trusting someone whom I have not met before. As a result after 3 days, my daughter came back home smiling and happy telling me how Lyon called her and how he came home being humble as if it were first day of connection from the very beginning. The love sparked in her eyes and I knew the work of this man have manifested. I would recommend this man to anyone who needs to get their ex back at his number Call or WhatsApp him at +2348167159012 or email him at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com

So i had to contact DR ISIKOLO who did everything in his power to reunite us and restore the love and happiness we once shared. He returned back home to us after 48 hours just as DR ISIKOLO assured me.

Hello everyone, my name is Marvelyn Evans. For quite some time, My husband was living in another apartment due to work pressure and we were very much happy together even though he stayed apart from us for some months. Little did i know a colleague from work was already having an affair with him which made my husband file a divorce against me out of nowhere. I knew something was wrong because we never had to fight or argue that much to make him leave. I was traumatized and i search for help to tackle the situation which led me to DR ISIKOLO from praises people showered on him online. We discussed at length and he told everything I needed to know about what happened and the due process to fix the problems. He fulfilled his promises and got my husband back to me and the divorce process was canceled. Now my husband is back home to us and we are happy together. Its indeed amazing how people can genuinely help other people when they are in need. He can help you too. Just text him via WhatsApp +2348133261196 or email him via: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com

I want to inform the public how I was cured of herpes simplex Virus by a herbal Dr called VOODOO. I visited different hospitals but they gave me a list of drugs like Famvir, Zovirax, and Valtrex which are very expensive to treat the symptoms and never cured me. I was browsing through the Internet searching for remedies on Herpes and I saw comments of people talking about how dr VOODOO cured them. I Was scared because I never believed in the Internet but I was convinced to give him a try because I had no hope of being cured of herpes so I decided to contact him on his email, i searched his email on the net and I saw a lot of people testifying about his goodness. When I contacted him he gave me hope and sent a Herbal medicine to me that I took and it seriously worked for me, am a free person now without any problems, my HERPES result came out negative.

MY BOYFRIEND WANTED TO END OUR RELATIONSHIP BUT THANK TO DR SAKOMO A GREAT VOODOO PRIEST THAT HELPED ME

My name Betty Douglass am from the United states of America, My boyfriend whom we have dated for 7 yrs and we were living together and we had started making wedding plans already when he suddenly woke up and said to me last November that he didn’t love me any more and he wasn’t happy with the relationship saying that he didn’t want us to live a miserable life together and that he already rented a new place and wants to move in with a girl he met at work. I begged and pleaded with him but all my efforts failed. I became desperate and searched for a solution that was how i came across the great spell caster, Dr.Sakomo, who is the priest of the home of ancient spells. Within 48 hrs that he cast reunion revival spell, my boyfriend came back to me. The reunion revival spell worked faster than i ever expected because I did not trust him at first.

I feel so blessed again in my marriage after PRIEST OSAS brought back my husband that separated with me for good 3 months. ANNY ROBERT by name from California. Even though I have mouths all over my body, it won’t be enough to thank PRIEST OSAS for his help in my life. My husband separated with me for 3 months and has been in pain and agony without him. So, I searched for help everywhere but nothing worked out not until I meant PRIEST OSAS who I contacted online. I explained my situation to him and he promised that my husband will get back to me within 24 to 48 hours so that my heart still beats for him. I believed in him and he prepared a spell for me and my husband called me exactly when PRIEST OSAS said. He pleaded and said he needs me back and now we are living happily again for the past 9 months. Everyone out there reading my article that needs help should contact him… Email: Unsurpassed.solution@gmail.com or

My husband changed dramatically towards me, doesn’t communicate anymore. He disrespects me and accuses me falsely of infidelity because of wicked gossip …but I’m simply AMAZED at the results of Dr. Todd who did reunion love spell for me. Everything is going so well and EXACTLY how he said it would be. Even though it took 72hours to fully progress, it was so worth it because things are just about at perfection! How he took my situation and completely turned it around to give me exactly what I wanted is beyond me, but something I will never question and just be completely grateful, God Bless Dr. Todd for turning sorrow happiness.
