The Crows Made Me Do It

Episodes
I was walking my dogs in the rain one evening in my crow-inhabited neighborhood in north Portland, listening to music or maybe a podcast (I forget) on my wired headphones (this detail is important later), when a funny, dark, and (to me at the time) nearly perfect story just sort of started appearing in my mind.
The story was about a guy who tries to train the neighborhood crows to bring him money, but everything goes nightmarishly...
Mark strikes a deal with the crows. Lyudmila asks for assistance with her plants.
