Week 11: Why? Oh! Why?

The chicken had some abuse in his past. He was tiny, mildly bald, and kind of stinky. The farmer picked on him, his fellow chickens picked on him, even his own parents picked on him. The chicken was verbally and physically abused. One day he just left the flock. In a depressed walk, he came across a road. He thought to himself, "If I could just get hit by a car, my life would be over and along with it, my misery." With that fresh in his mind, he closed his eyes and stepped onto the pavement. Little did the chicken know that this road was blocked off due to construction. When the chicken realized that he made it to the other side untouched, he turned around, closed his eyes, and crossed the road again. "Third times the charm," the chicken said. He turned around, closed his eyes, and walked back to the other side of the road. After attempting to kill himself three times with no luck, the chicken started to feel like a failure. He there just kept walking because he had no where else to go, nothing else to do. Then he walked right into a new flock. All of these new flock members were tiny, mildly bald, and kind of stinky! He fit right in perfectly!! Everything was wonderful and he never would have found this new flock with out crossing the road in attempts to commit suicide.
