"You ungrateful bitch. I keep a roof over your head, and this is the thanks I get?" "You could have killed her," I retort, trying to muster up confidence that I don't possess. "What if she goes to the cops, Dad? That bruise on her face is enough to get you arrested and charged with assault." "What? You mean when she tripped over the mess you made in the kitchen?" His smile is so wicked that it chills me to my core. "She ain't going to the cops. Hell, she'll probably be back here tomorrow." "You're a bastard," I whisper, tears filling my eyes. "No wonder Mom left! She probably couldn't bear to spend another second with-" I'm pushed to the floor.

Jocelyn Jones' life has always been practical - maybe a little too practical. At 44, she has spent years worrying about everybody else, trapped in a marriage whose spark fizzled ages ago. A tomboy at heart, Joss has never been the type to swoon over fairy-tale romances, nor has she ever conformed to society's idea of what a woman "should" be. But everyone has a breaking point, and one morning, over her granola and yogurt, she decides she's had enough. She will leave her suffocating marriage and take a road trip in search of something she's spent too many years trying to hide - herself. As Joss sets off on her self-discovery sojourn, a murder of crows seem to be following her every move. And when one crow - a sharp-tongued, sarcastic creature named Quentin- suddenly starts talking to her, everything changes. Because Quentin is no ordinary crow, Quentin is her new sidekick, an opinionated mentor, and possibly the only creature on earth who can match her dry wit. With every sarcastic quip and unsolicited piece of advice, Quentin helps Joss step into her power, embrace her flaws, and take firm hold of her future's steering wheel on the road of life. When Crows Paint the Sky is a road trip like no other - a humorous and heartwarming journey of self-acceptance and independence, with a little bit of magic thrown in for good measure. With Quentin by her side, Joss discovers that sometimes, the most important journey is the one that leads you back to yourself. #ONC2025 Prompt:120. The door that closed to you many years ago has reopened, and now it's up to you to take a chance once more.
