The Black Bird. – Short Horror Story

Foolishly leaving my window ajar one night; I awoke to find a Raven staring at me. But one of devilish kind; with eyes of malice; and soon the room would be his. I thought to drive the beast from his perch; bravery for a moment overcoming the maddening terror of it's first squawk. The realization the being was so close now as to be able to quickly dash for my eyes; or lunge for my throat; as it's arrogant poise; head now cocked crooked; alarmingly daring; any move against it permission from the devil for it to attack with full ferocity.

And so I crept back; and ran for the door; the rush of adrenaline spiking as I jolted out the front door; slamming it closed behind me as I stumbled with the keys and finally sat panting in the car. What good was closing the window without a screen to replace the missing one? Should I die of the heat in the night as the bird no doubt intended my fate? I think not.

At the store I found a screen I knew to be of the right size. Despite lacking measurements. Even so, as I walked into the parking lot, I found myself dropping it; and the corner broke in such a way a bird might get through; the sudden realization the entity had followed me; and could strike at any moment. Glad in a moment to be back in my car; I then arrived safely home.

Fumbling for a moment with the screen; I started back towards my house; and then it came for me. Throwing the screen down and being struck in the arm in a way the made my keys fly wildly far; I knew this was the end. The creature; ravenous in all lusters; drove me into the rode where I was struck by a vehicle; never to rise again.
