Description
The crows. Always the crows. Day and night, wherever he went, they followed. Back in the early 1950's, Earl did a bad thing. A really bad thing. He got away with it, but the memories wore on him right from the beginning. Then the crows started showing up. Nobody talked to Earl, because they knew the crows meant something they wanted nothing to do with.
He almost turned himself in, several times. He almost put a gun to his head, but he didn't. He knew he would live a long, miserable life.
***
For all those people that got away with something bad . . . I hope you see your crows.

This is such a geat and imaginative image! I love the story behind it as well. This is the first time that I know of having seen ZBrush brought into Bryce. Nicely done!
This is great! Reminds me of Hitchcocks "Birds". (Geez! I'm starting to get "crowsfeet" around the eyes...)
