Unusual visitor to my garage. There I was cleaning up my road bike when I hear a rustling down the end of the garage. This beauty using my hack bike as a perch... am I gonna die or something?

'Prophet!', said I, 'thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil! -
Whether tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted -
On this home by horror haunted - tell me truly, I implore -
Is there - is there balm in Gilead? - tell me - tell me, I implore!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

am I gonna die

I think I can confidently predict that this sign does in fact confirm that at some point in the future (hopefully a very distant future)you will in fact die.

Dez,
the bike seems to be from 1990 at the latest. As you're still here, presumably you sold your soul to him and will never die ?

If you sent that to trout, I reckon he could fashion it into a fairly handy looking light.

Crispy, you are wrong. The Corvids are highly intelligent.

Looks a bit dishevelled? Just escaped from something else?

Looked like it had been caught in the rain. Not safe there with my crazy dog around though so I chased it off.

Obviously your dog has a rep for leaving carrion behind. Now when you ride , at night, through the woods , you will hear a flapping of wings above and behind you. Soaring through the dark, watching, waiting for the next kill.
Then when hope finds something with a heartbeat, its tea time for Russel (Crow)
