Nice!

Here's a 4 paragraph story I wrote -

(view spoiler)[2 Birds…With 1 Stone

On a nice and quiet fall evening, a boy with the nickname of “Crow”, was trying to find a beautiful red rose for a girl he liked at school. Oh, Emily. He loved her. Well, at least in his mind he did. Did his heart love her? I guess we’ll never know…

Crow was walking along a broken path through an overgrown forest. He was determined. He had a goal. He needed to find a red rose! It was starting to get late, and he had to get home before too late because he had school the next day. He was deep in thought when he noticed the red rose bush alongside the path. It was trimmed. Someone had obviously been taking care of it. And they were the most beautiful roses he’d ever seen.

He was looking through the bush for the perfect rose, when he saw a shadow in the corner of his eye. He ignored it, thinking it was an animal. And it was an animal. It was a crow. He kept looking through the roses, smiling at the mental image of what he thought would be Emily’s reaction. He briefly wondered how they stayed so beautiful.

He was certain he’d found the perfect rose, when he heard a bird cry behind him. A small thump sound happened a few seconds later. He looked up with concern in his eyes. He went to look behind him, when he saw the girl he loved. He was so caught up in her beauty, he didn’t notice the big stone that flew towards him. Then, his love disappeared, and all went black.

And the next summer? The roses were blooming even more beautifully than before.

The End… (hide spoiler)]

Don't know if it counts as an "excerpt" but

He died. Um, dead bodies are good for the earth so uh...yeah that's why the roses bloomed even better the next year

now realizing how dark the story is

Redfur bounded around camp. He was finally free to play with his friends. “Ash!” He called his striped gray friend over, white tail tip wagging.
“What?” Ash called back.
“Let's go play around camp!”
Ash padded over.
Redfur looked around. The big pine trees and bramble bushes made the wall of the camp. A stone outcropping was near the entrance. This was where they all shared prey from the hunting parties. There was a big cave in the back wall, where the leader, Flame, slept. Flame was a big red female fox whose voice was filled with authority.
Redfur turned around, looking at his friend. Ash’s long gray fur ruffled from the wind. His white muzzle turned up as he looked at an oncoming storm.
“Look at that,” he said. “It looks bad.”
Redfur heard a distant rumble of thunder.
He looked up. The black puffy clouds loomed overhead. There was a flash and then another rumble of thunder.
The winds picked up.
Suddenly, there was a rustle in the bramble entrance. The latest hunting party had returned.
Redfur rushed over, his dark orange fur blowing around. “The snow is coming,” a fox named Snowfur growled. Redfur shuddered, The snow always brought the least prey and the worst storms.
Just then came the loudest rumble of all.

The storm was here.
