Ominous Presence

A month ago I went running around the base. The wooded area proved to be a journey of clarity. As I finished my run I walked back to the barracks. It was seven in the morning and quite a beautiful one at that, bright and sunny clear day. Though the base was particularly barren of vehicles it was not uncommon for a Saturday at that time. I had my headphones on feeling exhaustion set in due to me carrying 20 pounds of weights in my backpack. There was nothing unusual about it....

I walked obliviously on the sidewalk, suddenly I felt something brush up against my arm as I walked I stopped and looked around. Pausing into all directions I saw noone or anything that would indicate anyone was around. I heard a sound, a bird call. As I looked up a tree I saw a crow perched on a branch. Staring at me I looked at it as if it wanted something. I don't know, I just sensed something, can't explain it, just sensed it. There in it's eyes kinda got lost but I stood there....

Confused, I just continued onward, but sortly thereafter I felt it again. I halted, turned down my music, obviously I knew it wasn't cause someone was nearby. I saw a black streak pass up close by, it brushed my shoulder as it flew by. Looking at it as it flew by it stopped on a nearby tree. I looked up at it and it stared back at me. It cawed and then it simply took off into the sky. Who knows what that was about but I felt it was significant, to what end, I guess time will tell....
