There in the Black Dust

Seventeen-year-old Liv Warner is being followed by crows no one else can see.

Powder, fine and black as soot, falls from their wings, figures writhing and screaming within. It covers everything; the bushes, the people, houses. Everything but Liv.

In that black dust, she sees them; the murdered women with their broken bones and bleeding wounds. They tell Liv of their killer. They call him Mags. They remind Liv of her mother, also murdered and discarded. Left to rot.
