Post #3 From The Corner Of His Eye--- By Dean Koontz Pgs 20-40

Many things are happening in this story from this point. Junior's wife Naomi has died a terrible death. He was playing around with her in a tower and I believe that the flight of stairs they where on was weak enough to fall down. So Naomi fell a long way down. When Junior looked down to see how she ended up, it was hard for him as his wife's leg was bent backwards to an impossible angle and her hand next to her if she was waving. Stuff is starting to get little violent and creepy. He went to check on her but didn't dare to because he was a little squimish. As he walked away he looked back and saw crows at the area where she was at. What do you think the crows wanted to do?

That would be a horrible way to die. I don't think I would want to see someone I loved die like that and I wouldn't be able to go look at them either. The crows probably wanted to pick at her dead body.

Frank, that's a tough question to answer without reading the book. Billy does a nice job. Crows are black and sometimes can represent death. Wikipedia has this to say:

"Crows, and especially ravens, often feature in European legends or mythology as portents or harbingers of doom or death, because of their dark plumage, unnerving calls, and tendency to eat carrion."
