The Queen of Crows at Flames Rising

Stop by Flames Rising for a new Horror tale by Monica Valentinelli:

The Queen of Crows

Hazy patches of memories stitched themselves together in her dusty mind; she caught up to one and pulled it close. She remembered one of her names—Mahochepi—and gasped, but her undead lungs could not find the air she needed, they were filled with dried blood. Instinctively, Maho tried to pull her skeletal arms closer to what was left of her body. Only then did she realize she was bound with leather and thread and bone; someone…some…thing imprisoned her. Maho’s moldy mind starved for the chirping of birds, butterflies, worms, weeds—anything that resembled life, even humans.
