Once where man’s cliffs once stood, archers stood on half eyed watch, King and Queen once gazed out on kingdom soon to be lost, now the crow is king over this place.
Sheriff Hutton’s second castle plays host to the crows in the sky, while remembering a time when King’s and Queen’s once spent time here.

you sure have a lot of ruins around where you live… I might move there LOL
LOL could spend a week on this one alone and still not capture it all :) thanks Keith, can afford to move there now, they heard your threat and the house prices have fallen through the floor ;)
Many a tale told here – not necessarily by an idiot, but full of sound & fury nonetheless. Could do worse than crows, I think. Haunting, sez I. One of my favorite words.
