Description In old legends or in recent movies (The Crow) the crow was seen as a messenger of death or it guided a dying soul between this world and the next.

This piece took roughly 14 hours - on and off - over two weeks time. I worked on it when I had the time.

My thanks go to those people who provided the wonderful stock images I used in this piece. Here follow the credits:

You are now cursed. You must send this on or you will be killed. Tonight at 12:00am, by Bloody Mary. This is no joke. So don't think you can quickly get out of it and delete it now because Bloody Mary will come to you if you do not send this on. She will slit your throat and your wrists and pull your eyeballs out with a fork. And then hang your dead corpse in your bedroom cupboard or put you under your bed. What's your parents going to do when they find you dead? Won't be funny then, will it? Don't think this is a fake and it's all put on to scare you because your wrong, so very wrong. Want to hear of some of the sad, sad people who lost their lives or have been seriously hurt by this email?

CASE ONE -
Annalise [Surname Removed] :She got this email. Rubbish she thought. She deleted it. And now, Annalise dead.

CASE TWO -
Louise [Surname Removed]: She sent this to only 4 people and when she woke up in the morning her wrists had deep lacerations on each. Luckily there was no pain felt, though she is scarred for life.

CASE THREE -
Thomas [Surname Removed]: He sent this to 5 people. Big mistake. The night Thomas was lying in his bed watching T.V. The clock shows '12:01am'. The T.V misteriously flickered off and Thomas's bedroom lamp flashed on and off several times. It went pitch black, Thomas looked to the left of him and there she was, Bloody Mary standing in white rags. Blood everywhere with a knife in her hand then disappeared. The biggest fright of Thomas's life.

Warning... NEVER look in a mirror and repeat -'Bloody Mary.Bloody Mary.' Bloody Mary... I KILLED YOUR SON' Is it the end for you tonight! YOU ARE NOW CURSED

We strongly advise you to send this email on. It is seriously NO JOKE. We don't want to see another life wasted. ITS YOUR CHOICE... WANNA DIE TONIGHT? If you send this email to...

NO PEOPLE - You're going to die.

1-5 PEOPLE - You're going to either get hurt or get the biggest fright of your life.

5-15 PEOPLE - You will bring your family bad luck and someone close to you will die.

15 -25 OR MORE PEOPLE - You are safe from Bloody Mary

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning!
Once there was a little girl called Honey Boo Boo, she was five-years-old and she lived in a
sad pink house with her mama, because she scared away her dad. She got so bad she went
to annoy all the pets in the house so her momma decided that best idea was to get rid of her
so she set up a special room to annoy her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the machine
she was using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died of annoyance. Now
every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on a Monday night
at 12:00 a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by putting a tv with her show on the tv and
watching you get annoyed to death. Now send this to ten other pictures on this one site, and she will haunt
someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if you copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten
minutes you will have a good day tomorrow. You will get hugged by someone close to you (or you will hug yourself
if you're forever alone) if you break this chain u will see Honey Boo Boo in your dreams... sweet dreams sweetie~~~

Thanks for the lovely comment. I love attention to details, those are what makes a piece looking realistic. But I need to put some more work into the piece. I missed out some white areas I forgot to erase near the couple and only know saw them, when somebody mentioned them to me. And the lighting of the second and the third window is correct. But I have no idea how to fix that. *laughs*
