You wake up in a bed unfamiliar to you. It’s cold, but not unbearably so. You have no memory of why you’re here. Looking around, you notice that your life support machines are no longer functioning. You stumble outside and find……..what, exactly?
…headache. …water. I need water.
I painfully pull the the IV needle out, as it’s not doing me any good. No idea how I got here, but I happen to glean that I’ve been banged up good enough to land here.
Fuck, faucet is out. I sit for a moment, but my mouth is dry. I’ve used most of the energy I had just getting here. I look in the toilet, but it’s been chemically treated with that nasty & undrinkable blue shit.
FLOWERS. They’re not far. It’s going to taste like shit, but the water’s clear. Maybe even fresh. Why isn’t the fucking sink working? Thirst.
I crawl, and 5 minutes later I’m forcing myself to reach this vase. God, this water is horrible. Have I been in here long? These flowers are slightly wilted. I grimace with each sip, and remember putting the vase down for a moment before passing out.
*Thunder*
I awake, and look out the window. Sunny? WHAT IN THE FUCK IS GOING ON.
I drink the last of the tinged glass, then I try to stand. I’m mobile, in the least definition of the word.
*THUNDER* *SQUAAAWK*
I… I don’t understand. I open the door, but there’s rubble covering the left hallway out. I look to the right, and I can see the emergency exit there. I hold myself along the outer wall for support, but stumble with repeated bouts of thunder and screeches. What is making this awful noise?
I get to the exit and start down the stairs. At the next to last flight, the noise is ominously close. Halfway down, the wall collapses, and I see my fate:
It’s a goddamn huge rooster. Except his head is half as big as his body. He’s easily 30 feet tall. And the bastard kicked in the side of the building with no effort at all.
I’ve accepted my fate. I’m going to get flayed by a giant cock, and not even in a pornographic sense. As this demon poultry tilts his head in preparation for the kill, I see a steel line wrap his neck.
“PULL, PULL, PULL! WE’VE GOT IT, FUCKING PULL!”
His head comes clean off, but the body still rampages away for a good 30 seconds. What level of hell is this? This is a hallucination. It can’t be real.
“Bro! Get up! He’s gone, but the male never leaves the females far behind”, I heard someone shout. I see a man, likely long since passed, wearing shoes I can barely squeeze into. I take them, and whisper an apology while lacing.
“I… I.. what THE FUCKING FUCK. I don’t know if this is real. I’m not sure where I am. TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON!”
The voice explains: In an attempt to cut their bottom line, KFC began a nutrient stimulant for bred chickens. They wanted more meat for their boneless lines. But something went horribly wrong with some of their ingredients; some of which likely were acquired on the black market.
We’re now living in the land… of the Chicken Legs.
