So this is ‘The Crow’ fan fiction. I wrote this back in October of 2009 and I decided to keep it as I wrote it, with only correcting some typos and spelling. This was and still is my way to honor James O’Barr the creator of the original, which changed my life and in memory of Brandon Lee who continues to change my life.
October 27, 3:33 am
A young couple sleeps in their small apartment. The blinds are drawn but a little bit of moonlight filters through onto the couple. A crash is heard from the living room. The wife awakes and shakes her husband awake.
“Wake up, I think I heard something, like glass breaking.” The husband mumbles “Wait here.” He walks out to the living room. The wife gets up and puts her hand on her stomach and she whispers to her unborn baby, “Don’t worry everything is going to be fine.” At those words a shot rings out and she jumps. She runs to find her husband shot in the chest and bleeding. She begs, “Please take whatever you want, but please don’t kill him.”
A short but stocky intruder gives her a little smirk and another even taller and larger intruder scopes out the apartment. They start ransacking the place, and going into their bedroom and finding some jewelry and money. “Hey Sam, how about this?” He shows what he retrieved to his partner. His partner nods with approval and orders, “Check the closets, Bill.”
The husband is bleeding and begins to tell his wife goodbye. “I love you.” His wife unable to accept her husband’s fate, scolds him, “Stop, you are not going to die!” At those words Sam says “I’ll be the judge of that.” He drags the husband by the arm and then throws him up against the wall. His wife screams, “No!” Her husband groans with pain. Bill straightens up the slumped over husband and Sam shoots him five times in the chest. The wife screams out, but they tape her mouth and tie her hands.
They leave the husband there and take the wife. They put her in the back seat of their car. She tries to scream but to no avail with the tape. She tries to kick but that angers them and they begin to punch her in the face knocking her unconscious.
None of this goes unnoticed by the crow flying overhead.
When the wife finally regains consciousness the car pulls up to an old looking brick building. The windows are all boarded up and there is various graffiti all over the exterior.
I didn’t want it to flow like a short story (the original is a comic book made to movie. If I could draw I would have gone the comic book way actually). I wanted it to be a hybrid between a short story and a screenplay and like in a movie you do not get everyone’s perspective or see everything that happens. I wrote it 2 years ago and haven’t changed it, so I’m good. Besides it is still fan faction, so I don’t want it to be my shining moment. I didn’t create ‘The Crow’ only this version. I really want it to be known that the best is the original. Thanks for stopping by 
I will pay attention to my use of repetitive phrases in my future writings
