The Clockwork Crow

Craft a narrative where your main character befriends an unusual crow, which is more than it seems. This bird has an uncanny ability of dropping off strange items which it finds around the city into your character's backyard. One day, the crow acts peculiar and instead of a trinket, it drops off a message written on a worn-out piece of paper. Explore your character's emotions, interactions with the crow and the mystery hidden in the message.
