I enjoyed this story! The way you combined the fire, eyes and crow to form such a transfixing design is brilliant. Now I understand how this spurred your imagination to produce this chilling yet fascinating story.

The first line drew me in and when the embers started blinking, I knew Amber was heading down a dark road for what she had done to the black raven. I love how you built the tension gradually. The raven's return and the sense that Amber was now trapped in the darkness gave your story such a haunting finish. If I were Amber, I definitely wouldn't be sitting around that campfire again! Beautifully written as always. Take care and have a beautiful day. 🌹
