Day 225: Don't turn out the lights

It’s Writing Day!

Writing Prompt: Write a spooky story about something familiar to you.

Does your house make strange noises sometimes? Maybe it’s haunted. Do you own an antique necklace? Give it a mysterious history. Are there a lot more crows around than usual?

Hmm. There are a lot of crows these days. What are they up to, anyway?
