WAILING CROWS (fiction)
by Em
(AZ)
There once was a woman who worked as a maid and she often worked in old cabins in the woods.
Every so often she would have to shoo away the pesky crows, and every time she did she heard a loud shrill like singing, like a scream.
One day she didn’t hear any shrills; rather she heard something swoosh behind her. The next day the homeowners came home to find her dead with a hollow bloody hole on the left side of her chest.
It was discovered by the doctors that her heart was gone but that they found the saliva of another woman's in its place; that woman was Lillian Bates who had died long ago.
The doctors announced it as a mistake but it was pretty evident that The Banshee ate her heart and took her soul.
