Ashes
I looked at The Wooden Man, looking at me obliviously.
“Did you see that?” I asked.
“See what?” He asked.
“The crow bashed it’s face in on that gravestone.” I said.
“What crow?” He said, a questioning look in his eyes.
I frowned at him.
“It’s something wrong?” The Wooden Man asked calmly.
I shook my head. “No. I’m feeling a little off today.”
“Off?” The scarecrow sounded alarmed. “Are you sure something isn’t wrong?“
He obviously didn’t understand what I meant. I smiled at him. “Don’t worry about it, I’m fine.”
I finished carving Clayton’s head stone. All of the sudden, The Scarecrow raised an arm and the gravestone fell to ash.
“What did you do that for” I asked, distressed. “I spent a long time carving that.”
“Watch” The wooden Man said.
He guided the ashes is a cloud over Clayton the scarecrow’s post, and left it there.
