The Raven Curse

I dont cry anymore. Ive cried too much for my eyes to produce anymore tears of fear or happiness or sadness. But its not my fault. Ravens the reason I lost my tears. Raven has been a curse to my family for a long time. She’ll follow us everywhere. Whether it’s for vacation or school or even work. She’s always there. For us to get rid of her is impossible to even consider(12).

So one day, he followed her. He tried to keep as quiet as possible and made his way into Ravens small little “campsite”. As Raven went to bed, my uncle raided the camp looking for the money(11). Finally he found the money hidden in a rotting log. The log was filled with rats and mold, but he was determined to get the money(2). As he was about to leave, Raven woke up and saw him. He knew Raven wouldn't let him keep the money so he did the only thing he could come up with. He grabbed the biggest stone he could find and chucked it at her
