The Six Sentence Story prompt – Beam
I have never seen such sallow vacant eyes.
They are the aftermath of a night’s terror in a haunted house with rotting beams full of bats.
Even the early Summer sun and warm breeze does not bring hope.
A lone scruffy man sits on a weathered park bench.
Crows are roaming around him unearthing grubs.
I wonder if those park crows ever consider pecking him like they do with carrion.
Such a skillfully written description to go with this photo. It is also very sad to consider.

My heart breaks for such lost souls. We have groups (and i work with one) that try to help. Some are accepting, and some are not.

I suppose some day, the crows will do just that, unless he allows himself to be rescued before that. Nice 6!
