Trigger warning: Death by shooting, Murder and Rape of loved ones.
SARAH : The tears of the crow by Lionel Boulet @boulet_lionel
It's the story of Sarah's life. She has endured a lot from her very childhood with a missing mother going around the streets.
A horrific bizzare event of shooting has taken place at the abandoned gothic church of Detroit.
The city has become the capital of chaos. While bodies get picked up, Albrecht is on the run but surprisingly little Sarah returns home untouched from it all.
When Darla her mother thinks finally the gangs are extinct, it only is the beginning of another of chaotic turn.
Darla has been clean for sometime from drugs, prostitution and gangs influence . Now due to money constraints wants to move far away with Sarah and start a peaceful life.
When she grows up she starts to reveal herself through her gothic painting. But are they mere painting ? Or her visions that will guide her through the end when Darla's past returns back to destroy their lives once more. Will she use her powers to change her and others destiny?
The best part is the author tried to transcribe a tiny part of him through her by telling if people getting visions do really have choices to change things as they wish to?
At first I was not able to get some good grip of the story. Slowly things starts to fall into their places. The storytelling is quite different. Lucid byt I found the language a bit tricky to comprehend at times.
Secrets starts to get ooze out and I got to understand the main plot.
It's a work of dizzying darkness in an oppressive violent world directly inspired by the cult movie : The Crow.
Do check this short story. It's available on Amazon.
