A
dark and senseless bird, floating.

"I'll kill you, you bird" I said to
the bird with Matt's face, but to be honest I really said it more to Matt, the
real Matt, not the face-of-Matt on the bird. The moment the words left my lips
I regretted them, because deep down, Matt was my friend, but as soon as I
regretted them, I changed my mind and I did not regret them. I meant those
words with every ounce of my being and soul and mind. I wanted to kill Matt. I hated Matt.
I picked up the bird with Matt's face and I
violently clamped my teeth onto its neck in an effort to bite its head off in
one grotesque chomp, but ended up taking several minutes of chewing and gnawing
to actually accomplish because it is a lot harder to bite a bird's head off
that you would think. The bird and the bird's head fell to the
ground unceremoniously and also a great deal of the bird's blood also fell to
the ground after it fell out of my feather-filled mouth. The feathers in my
mouth were also covered in blood and some of them were stuck between my teeth
but I didn't care, all I cared about was doing to the real Matt exactly what I
had done to the bird that carried his visage. As I stormed away, back towards our apartment,
I glanced back at the remains of the bird and was startled to see a smile
slowly creeping onto bird-Matt's gore-coated face. I immediately started running as quickly as I
could, thankful that I had recently read a lifehacker article about how to run
like the Tarahumara Indians of Mexico who run wearing only sandals they fashion
out of tire treads and leather and they run for many, many miles. I called upon
my vast knowledge of their running technique and prowess and it was as if in
that moment my Crocs animorphed into authentic Tarahumara running sandals,
giving me the speed and agility that I needed to reach my apartment. |
