Raven's Curse

One

In the forest of unknown lies a field with many tents. Legend says if you're a victim or a captor, you have the chance to visit the infamous Raven's Circus. A place where in not every one can see unless you're a sinner or a victim.

A man runs towards the woods as he was scared of something he doesn't even know. He saw a light a few feet away. He quickly followed the light which led him to a place filled with colorful tents. "Welcome to Raven's Circus! Step right up and see the world of magic!" A small man said as many people got curious on the magnificent wonderland. Forgetting why he was running, he entered the said circus. Inside was filled with games and rides. There were also various food to choose from. From peanuts to cotton candies to fine dining meals. The man quickly got excited and started trying each food in front of him.

"It's time, it's time!" He heard to children saying to each other as the run towards the biggest tent in the center. Without any hesitations, he followed them. As soon as he entered, his body was filled with awe. There were elephants balancing on various items, there were lions performing tricks, there where people jumping from one side of a tall pole to another tall pole. He quickly took a seat in front and watched the amazing acts.

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the wonderful circus of Raven. I am your ringmaster, Raven." A man dressed in black death suit and red blood accessories appeared in the middle. "Meet the amazing Trapeze Sisters!" The girls started doing their acts, receiving lots of cheers. "The Golden Lions!" Roars filled the tents as the two lions started jumping into rings of fire.

After introducing everyone with their perspective acts, Raven started looking for a volunteer. Many audiences raised their hands while saying "Me, choose me!". "Who ever I chose will be in the center as the lights opens back." Then the lights suddenly closed.

When it opened the man was sitting in the center. He was surprised on how it happened and amused on how it happened. "Greetings sir, you are?" Raven asked. "Um..." the man tried so hard to remember who he is. He tried so hard to remember but nothing. Then he remembered something "Wait I have to get out of here!" He said panicking. Before he could stand up his chair suddenly cuffed him. "Whats going on? Let me out!" He yelled. "Name: Jeffrey Woods. Age: 45. Time of death: 11:59pm, 01/23/xx. Cause of death: got hit by a truck hmm?" Raven said as he walk around the man. "What? How.. how did you know?" Woods asked. "That's not all I know." Raven smirked. "I also know you killed at least 20 people, all are teens and children. Am I right?" The crowd smiled and said "yes". "What is going on, who are you?? Let me out!" Woods yelled as he try to escape. "Okay kids, each of you have their own voting device. There are three buttons to coose from. Now for the fun part! Pick what to do next to mr. Woods! 1. Let him work and suffer in my circus. 2. Let him be eaten by rats and insects. 3. Let him have a surgery for the next 3 months." The crowd started pressing their choice of torture. "No, please. Dont. I beg you." Woods pleaded.

"Times up!" Raven said. Then the results showed in mid air. "Okay mr. Woods, looks like we will hear your screams for the next few months hm?" Raven smiled. "No no no please dont AAAAAGGGGGH" he yelled before being teleported to a dirty room, tied on a surgical bed. He quickly recognized the place, its where he does his own torturing methods with his victims. His yells filled the room as knives where floating and cutting off his skin and playing with his organs just like how he does it.

"Thank you all for coming today, I hope all of you may rest in peace." Raven said to his audience for the night. "Thank you." The victims of mr. Woods said before disappearing.

Everything is a blessing if the angle of view and the mindset are positive by choice. This time has been tough for everyone but something beneficial happened to me in the midst of it. I discovered things about me that I needed to correct 🤦🏽‍♂️ and others that are cool but I never acknowledged😫. This time to me has been deff to reorient some roads and recalibrate myself. Life is a constant learning/relearning process, don’t misuse your time mi pana. 🤟🏽On another note, who likes this lighthouse as much as I do? 😍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lighthouse #orientation #axis #stability #positivethinking #findyourwhy #photography #canon #bhphoto #littleredlighthouse #nyc (at Little Red Lighthouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBTgU29Dbf1/?igshid=1bh3tewwtx929

“The 2012 Series” AMOC Photography Behold, The Little Red Lighthouse constructed in 1920, but due to the construction of the George Washington Bridge in 1931, Lil Red was deemed obsolete. Public outcry followed and the landmark has only stepped up in preservation. #littleredlighthouse #lighthouse #nyc #manhattan #georgewashingtonbridge #photo #photography #photography #amanofcolours #amocphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/B0MGeqJJ5C2/?igshid=1loswqk8jqrlk

when your @madewell dress matches your local “Little Red Lighthouse”...

The LRL has not been functional for some time. From the @nycparks website: Located underneath the George Washington Bridge along a treacherous section of the Hudson River once known as Jeffrey’s Hook, it is one of the few surviving lighthouses in New York City. The Hudson River is an important route for travel, connecting upstate cities such as Albany to NYC & the Atlantic Ocean. So as traffic increased along the river, so did the number of shipwrecks at Jeffrey’s Hook and in an attempt to reduce accidents, poles and lanterns were used to mark the spot and warn captains. The results weren't strong enough so in the early 20th century, captains demanded a brighter beacon. The Little Red Lighthouse had been erected on Sandy Hook, New Jersey in 1880. However, it became obsolete there and was moved here by the U.S. Coast Guard in 1921 to fulfill that request by captains for a brighter beacon. Run by a part-time keeper, furnished with a battery-powered lamp and a fog bell, it was known as Jeffrey’s Hook Lighthouse. But then the George Washington Bridge opened in 1931 and the brighter lights of the bridge made the lighthouse obsolete. In 1948, the Coast Guard decommissioned the lighthouse, and its lamp was extinguished. A plan to auction off the Lighthouse was stopped by an outpouring of support prompted by the 1942 children’s book, The Little Red Lighthouse, written by Hildegarde Swift and Lynd Ward. The book captured the imaginations of children and adults, many of whom wrote letters and sent money to help save the icon from the auction block. In 1951 the Coast Guard gave the property to NYC Parks & in 1979 the Little Red Lighthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
