Comments on 'Stopped'Wild-eyed, I swung the knife down to stab the man who had brought food to me and gave me protection, his name was Clayton, and I was going to kill him. He wasn't my father, I don't remember my parents, but he was the closest thing to a parent I ever had.
The knife was inches away from piercing his heart, ending his miserable existence.
"_No._"
I heard a sound similar to the snapping of a twig and the knife was stopped by a gnarled wooden hand. My knife had pierced the scarecrows hand. I slowly turned my head around in shock to see the wooden man's eyes locked into mine.
"I-I-I'm sorry." I said breathlessly.
_He is okay._ The red-eyed crow said, flying through the window and perching himself on the scarecrow's wooden shoulder as the scarecrow pulled the knife out of it's, no, _his_ hand and the wood reformed together seamlessly.2008-04-29T21:18:25Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/28845Comment on Stopped<p>actually, the scarecrow has two voices…you know what, never mind.

I thought the scarecrow was egging him on to kill the guy. It’s very exciting, but I must have missed a step.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/28845?basename=594102008-04-29T00:48:15ZTHX 0477http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477Comment on Stopped<p>Great! Wasn’t expecting that the man would be his guardian. Now I guess I’ll see who the scarecrow really wanted him to go after – if, indeed, he wanted that in the first place.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/28845?basename=594062008-04-29T00:11:08ZStovohobohttp://ficlets.com/authors/stovohobo
