  "account": "Dear Kelly Clarkson, the writer has penned a letter offering a raven in exchange for a windup bird. The bird in question sits on the writer's bust of Pallas, and the writer would be willing to give the bust as well. The raven, unlike most birds, remains uninvited and does not leave despite the writer's attempts to coax it away. The writer tried multiple pleas and harsh rejections, but the raven remains. The writer had hoped the encounter with Kelly Clarkson at Art of Play would offer a glimmer of hope. The writer explains the origin of the bird and offers to include the bust for interior design purposes. The writer explains the bird's feeding habits, stating it sustains itself other than by eating. The writer wishes to be rid of the bird and hopes to exchange it for Kelly Clarkson's interest, naming the raven Molly.",
