I've been on a major fucking The Crow trip lately. The Crow has always been one of my all time favorite graphic novels and the movie is great too, everynow and then I revisit it and re-read the book and watch the film. Well now it's the time and I've been on a kick lately all though that may seem weird since Christmas time was just over, but what the hell.
Anyways I do like to creatively write sometimes and I was inspired to write this short "lost scene" so to speak that could be inserted intot he Crow book so to speak. And it's by no means to step on James O'Barr's great work at all. It's more of a tribute than anything else to The Crow.
Normally I don't like to get sappy or poetic in my blogs I joke around on them more than anything and say the stupidest shit I can think of but anyways I'm serious for once today.

Forever: Inspired by The Crow
Shelly asked me a question once. "Eric?" she asked. "Do you think it would be cool to live forever?"
I thought about it for a second and gave the only answer I could.
"Only if I could live forever with you." I said
She simply smiled.
Then, after several minutes she added, "It could be painful you know. Because if everyone wasn't able to live forever then you would have to watch many people you love die as you go on. I'm not sure if I would like that."
She was right. But what I wouldn't give for one more second with her.
Soon I will be with her forever. Not in this world but in another but only after I finish things tonight.
Top Dollar, T-Bird, Fun Boy......the very names burn through me. It's as if the fires of hell have begun to consume me already.
That is why they must be extinguished! One by one, dying for thier sins! So that they will burn in hell forever!
I wonder if Shelly is watching me. Wait. I don't have to wonder, I can feel her with me now. Of course she is watching me, and if she was here she would probably just smile that wonderful smile. Maybe she would whisper my name quietly and shyly like she often would.
"Eric...."
"It's ok Shelly. Soon it will be forever."
