A whimsical story of a man living alone in his stone home on a hill.

Relying on his art to keep himself alive, the man is trying to find the spark in his art that people are also looking for.

When mysterious gifts start arriving at his door, he starts to wonder who could be intruding on his isolated life in the wildflowers.

Its not until a humanoid crow turns up at his window, an omen of death, that the man starts to push aside his fears and find the love for art again through a series of exchanges and amusing events with the creature.

With the crow trading its way deeper into the man's life, what will make them stop and see just how life-changing that can be?

This story is the full version of one created for an LGBT+ contest.

Chances made us running

Running wild and crazy

A couple of chances got missed

Some of them on the way

Gotta hold them and carry them with ourselves forever

If not we will be missed and forgotten

Everything has here, it’s got time

Gotta understand and at the same time we gotta move

Intermittently my mind asking me what’s going on here

Every time the answer is we don’t know what’s really going on

Even I’m still finding the light for everything

The only chance we got for ourselves is to go for the light, that’s the chance we have.

You will think about what I’m going to say right yes I’m going to say is when we don’t know something society will laugh at us.

They will make some jokes about us.

I know it’s hard but we have to face it if we want to go further in life or whatever we have to do it anyway.

In my opinion about that, we have to face that all if we want to go further in life.

I got some experience with this kind of situation.

So don’t be worry everything will be okay.

I know for sure everything takes time to heal up.

So give a Little more Time to that.

Let that go it’s just a temporary situation in your life just a moment but it’s really important what you get in on that moment for life.

It’s a good experience you ever had in your life.

I know many of us don’t know what we are doing here.

we have to learn everything not quickly.

Just take your time.

Don’t Rush especially.

As human beings we all have feelings, right?

That’s what keeps us alive that’s the reason for all of this.

To all of this happens. Sometimes it leads to troubles. Sometimes it leads to happiness, the reason to happen all of this is feelings, for example -: love, sex, fight, kindness, happiness, anger, jealousy like that.

So I wanted to say don’t be like that. Just be a good good person to everyone you met and don’t cheat.

I feel everyone cheats about everything. They don’t show their true face, it’s like There prisoners to their feelings. Don’t stuck with your feelings just let it go.

The reason to happen all of this is you, not other people and there is a positive side too.

The feeling can lead you to success too.

Everything has a bad side and a good side I know we can’t choose a good side every time.

But We must try to choose the good side in every possible way because it’s leading us to the Good future, not a bad future.

So no matter how hard Is it we have to do that.

Just thought about good feeling every time you feel bad.

So you can escape from it.

Did you know each one of us is different from one and another, I mean I’m not the only one who said it but there’s really strong bound between me and these words.

First of all I want to say I am not a strange kid but there is always been something else. I can’t say something special because I am not the judge of that. Do you remember when we were kids most of times we were so much happy living in our lives because there was no responsibility, no pressure and no regrets. You know why, because we didn’t know what is this, what life is, what ahead of us. We just doing what we think we supposed to do it’s just like we are trainers in a new job we follow and do what our bosses tell us to do we don’t ask any question actually truth is we can’t.

Then as time goes on we start to grow physically and mentally start to realize how all this works. Then slowly we have to take responsibility, each one of us have to carry our own weight and Stand for ourselves because there is people who believe in you, . So you have to do it either way for you or them.

”Sometimes I wonder Am I really enjoy living my life or I am just wasting my whole life for others” These are the most effective words to me in this world. This not any kind of wise words said by wise man maybe it’ll be one day who knows. I think about this few little words everyday, Now I don’t even think about it cuz it’s just in my head like all the time repeating and repeating to myself. Actually there is a real story behind these words that stuck in my head.

Few years ago I broke my arm, it was an accident I fell off from my bike I was 14 back then. I had to stayed in home for 2 months until I fully recover, it was pretty serious with my hand. That time I didn’t had anything to do, so I spent most of my time watching movies and TV and sometimes I think, I don’t remember what I thought about exactly but one day something crossed my mind. I started to wonder what will my future be like. One though leaders to another then I start think about everything, what i’m gonna do in few years, where i’m gonna live, can I have a successful career, am I talented enough, like these. I felt so much pressure on me that day, I didn’t even had any of these situation in reality but I felt the stress in those moment. Then I started to think I have to face these things one day and I have make decisions for my self like a grown man, But what I really wanted to do was feel better, so I told my self ” You don’t have to worry about any of these now you are just a kid, forget about all these things and live in the moment”, but part of me really wanted to do something about it. So I started to think again and again until I found out what I really want in my life. That’s when I realized most of these people don’t really enjoy doing what they do. They just doing those for others, just to make them happy, their family, their parents and their love ones. They are just wasting their whole life doing what they don’t like to be doing because they think if they don’t, they gonna let down the people who believe in them.

That day I decided I am not gonna be that person, I am not gonna let down my loves either, So from that day I start to enjoy life doing what I like, I’m totally changed to a new person from one I used to be and I get to understand one important thing about life, no matter you enjoy life or not, you have to sacrifice your time for other, that’s how this works, that’s how life work. That’s how we get a reason to live and that is not Time Wasting that’s how we find a reason to Live.

So enjoy doing what you like in this short life then you will find a reason to live.

I have been hopelessly in love with a man, since I was 13. Even through all of the shit he seems to put me through I still just can’t seem to find it in me to let go. I have tried and tried and it just…I can remember the night we met, he was a friend of my sisters and she had been trying to get us to meet because she thought we would click, first few times I had said no, until one night I was reading one of my favorite books called Heartwishes by Jude Deveraux. She asked me again, and finally I decided to give in…and just a few minutes  it’s like all of a sudden he became the most important thing, I kept asking myself why because I just fucking met this dude? But I’ve never felt a stronger connection…even though I was 13 I knew that but still I knew it would be different. Well about a week in and he ended up calling me out on my feelings, and I figured what’s the use in hiding if he can tell. He told me he felt the same way and that it was weird to him, after that he asked me to be his girlfriend, we stayed up for hours for nights, I would sneak out at night just so I could talk to him, somehow even though it was long distance, the feeling was so strong id almost forgotten sometimes. Well since then we have been on and off because he can’t commit, we ALWAYS end up back, I know by now that he does love me, weather hes too scared to commit or no matter the issue. I use my college saving to fly myself out by him to try and live and be with him, he still cheated and lied and many things he absolutely crushed me, i ended up having to leave because i just couldnt be around him anymore at that point it just broke my heart….and i still cant help but think about how i would do it over just because I finally got the chance to know what itd be like in his arms, even if it didn’t last long…since then we hadn’t talked much he had kept trying to talk to me again and i kept pushing away until now. I had a good friend pass away a few months back, and it just devastated me, she was someone i met in the hospital after my suicide attempt, we became so close we continued contact after but all the plans we made to meet up failed, i never got the chance to hangout with her i didnt even get to talk to her last…it reminded me of him and how if he passed and i didnt get the last chance to talk to him or see him or anything…i am in a relationship right now, i lately realized I accidentally made it a habbit trying to find him somewhere else…people tell me there are others out there like him, but really there isnt…there isnt anyone who can fill the spot right for our 3am talks, or the car rides where we just jam out together, the long walks together, sitting on that hill while we talked and watched the sunset together, the way we would play together…ive looked and looked, and still i am amazed at how much his touch still lingers, how is it he hurts and hurts and hurts me so badly and i still just cant help but look and think of him in awe, it doesn’t feel fair, it hurt so bad and yet it was still the hardest thing that i have ever had to walk away from. Now hes telling me that he is going to come and get me to take me away from the bad situation im in, if you cant guess my situation is with another toxic man that i thought i was in love with but turned out everything he told me was a lie so i fell in love with a lie and now im just kind of stuck its a situation not going to explain unless you guys want. I’m not entirely sure about going or not, i wouldnt be dating him this time, he said it would be a way of paying me back so i have a safe place to start a life without someone toxic hanging over my shoulder abt it, but at the sametime its fucking texas and im from Wisconsin okay, i sweat a little too easy, i have major anxiety and everything there from what i hear is supposed to be huge, also roomate situation, nervous about that, cause you know what if they hate me hah , and then leaving my mom behind when im really the only person she has to really talk to or do anything with thatll actually do what she wants to do, but then again ill get away from toxic shit for a bit, still be able to call her, still come back and visit atleast, i really dont have anything else around me and the toxic im with wont let me work. Plus call me crazy if you want but i maybe think i could possibly get my ex to realize how much he actually is in love with me

also were gonna call the ex grim, and toxic can just stay toxic cause hes toxic as fuck
