The Watcher

[dizzojay]

I've been having fun going back through some of my old stories, and I'd forgotten all about this little snippet that I wrote about three years ago.

This is something completely different (in the best traditions of Monty Python), and I think it deserves another airing!

THE WATCHER

The Winchesters don't usually have an audience for their salt and burns. But tonight someone's watching ...

xxxxx

Moonlight shimmers over his iridescent back like water over onyx;

and he watches.

As he's done his entire life.

In the twisted carcass of an ancient yew, he sits;

and watches over the cemetary.

Tiny, glimmering eyes; black as beetles.

He watches.

But tonight is different.

Tonight, two men came and opened the earth.

Dropped a spark into the ground;

smiled as flames reared up to meet them.

Acrid smoke tainted the air.

And then they left.

He didn't like them;

he still doesn't like them.

The crow quietly preens stinking ash out of his plumage;

and he watches.

xxxxx

That's very creepy and great to see such an unusual POV. Crows and ravens freak me out as their eyes look intelligent but evil too!

They have got a sinister intelligence about them, haven't they? :)

It's those beady eyes and the way they tip their head like they're sizing you up...*shudders*

I like this, it's ambiguous and creepy.
