Crow Country Chapter 28

Walter and I strolled through the dried lake bed. We were looking for Jimmy's grave. "I think it's here" I said to Walter, a crow was standing on the yellow mud. "I will paint the cross and you can dig the hole" I instructed. Lachie came to see what we were doing, he was been friendly to me and  Walter. I told him about the history of Jimmy and what happened to him. Lachie had to leave to get on time to play footy and shortly after, Walter left. I stayed hoping to still be able to talk to the crows. "The other day, I asked my about my great-aunt Sadie. She said she traveled around the world and died at the age of 83. I went to see her grave again but it wasn't there, I thought she died at 14." I began talking to the crow "Waa-waa" replied the crow "Waa-aaah" "Did I  change history?" I said "Waa" the crow said. Maybe I can't talk to crows anymore because I finished the story. The crow flew away flapping it's wings furiously, dropping a single feather, letting it fall from the sky slowly.
