...hat awaits you, where you will nest down just in time for a nice, chicken-sized nap. The quality of life of a chicken is truly under rated, you think to yourself as you strut through the cool night air.

Without warning, a giant fireball launches from the sky, destroying the chicken coop. The rush of hot wind and splinters erupting from the crash stops you in your tracks. Your chicken ears ring painfully. A few more steps and you would have been fried.

Any sadness for the other chickens, which all surely perished in the explosion, is pushed from your mind at the sight of the smoldering, metal sphere that sits amidst the wreckage. It begins to vibrate, and after only a moment one section of the sphere begins to slide into itself. You hear air escape the pressurized cabin.

If you were more intelligent, you might wonder if the sphere were a space ship, especially after a man covered in a light coat of feathers emerged.

Run away and seek refuge in Farmer John's house.

Uh oh. No one's written this branch yet. :o

Author Guidance for this Story

nickb This, along with "Wheeeeel ooooof pooouuultry!" and "You wake up with a throbbing headache", was one of the three (!) stories I had on my original CYOA site back in 1999.

It's here for nostalgia's sake, but it turned out pretty funny the first time around, so why not give it another go? :)

(Note: The root branch was written before our 140-character minimum came in. Just so you know. :)
