Giant Crows Can Be Thugs

giant crows can be thugs, the six-year-old child told me. they wear masks and can intimidate you out of an elm tree. I had no knowledge of this at all and begged to hear more. this child lives in the small yellow ranch house, right next door. crows came at night and took us all hostage, she said. they pistol whipped my daddy until his face was bloody red. I expected TV news crews to pull up at any second of course. biggest crow came in riding an enormous Arabian horse. another crow was so shiny, his fur was ebony black. he stole all our pink toothpaste, pushed them into a sack. stopped by the kitchen to grab a watch to put in his pack. he turned and cawed at me loudly when he looked back. these crows may have been killers, they had shirts that said murder. they stole our black taser gun we use as a cow herder. one stuck out his beak and glared when they were turning to flee. child’s mother said, “This kid watches way too much TV,”
