Erica is walking down a half-lit street, it is lightly raining, and the crow is on her shoulder.
As she reaches a little shelter the crow flies away. Erica takes off her jacket, looks at it for a split second before throwing it away. She leans against a fire escape, her saddened voice echoes in the dark, "I'm coming home cuz, soon we will be together again."
At the far end of the street some kids are running down towards Erica, their laughter fills the air, they're dressed up as it is Halloween. Their torchlights light up Erica's face, she looks up and at them, for a moment, smiles.
Erica laughs a gentle laugh as the kids dance and whirl around her. How she wished she could have had kids but that will never happen, so she relishes the few moments that the children dance around her, for that time, she feels at peace. It shows on her weary face.
