  "Hello. I have been a chicken all long. There were some dangers on the way, like eating.. us..chickens of the food named Chicken. Like us... Okay this was when I was born.

                                                                           Chapter 1 of I am a Chicken [Ep. I]: My born

I was born. I was with my mother. She said that I had a father and a brother but she didn't tell me where they were.

So I always wondered what happened to them, but I never knew. And I always been distracted by my mother's words when I spoke about these things.

She said to me that they would be back soon. But however, she must've told me earlier.

After 2 months, I asked her again where they were.

"They are coming very soon, boy." she said, but she seemed distracted as she looked at the Factory called, "Best Chicken Buffet Factory"

There were a sign next to the building, "We only uses fresh chicken. It's 100% fresh chicken."

I felt proud, because the sign seemed to impress me.

Fresh?
Fresh.. yes I was fresh because I was new born.

"I am very proud of that sign." I told my mother.

But she just shook her head, "No. You would know sooner, I promise."
Then I became angry, "You always seems to distract me. Why talk."

"No! It's for your own good. And I would lock you on the back of the hen-house." she said coldly.

I said nothing because it was a cruel punishment. I was born in the summer.

And staying at the back of the hen-house was hot. I am a fresh chicken but I knew that my temperature would become hotter.

"Okay." I only said that and splashed my feet on the pond, it splashed.

Then I fell with a splash.

I flapped my wings very loudly, but the wings were drenched because of the cold water.

I thought that I was going to drown, dead, dead.

My mother heard the noise and ran toward me. She bit her beak on to my wing. It hurt, but I couldn't say anything because of the pain and my fear that I would drown.

Then I closed my eyes, as my mother beak's strength began to loosen. I thought this was the end.

But I suddenly felt a yank, the other chickens were biting me and pulling me to land.

But I was unconscious, so I never woke up.

Chapter 2 of I am a Chicken [Ep. 2]: The Truth

When I woke up I was at the hen-house.

"This chicken's might be dead." I heard a man saying, "We wouldn't be able to use him to the factory."
"No. He's only conscious." the vet said, "You could use that chicken if he comes conscious, but I feel that you have to feed him extra. He is a baby chicken, so you have to feed him more for a bigger healthier chicken. And besides, they are not healthy at all. They are already unhealthy from the environment of the hen-house and the factory smoke."

"Shut up, this is my chickens. Just give me advice and leave, I will give you extra money." 

"Extra money doesn't count but.." the vet tried to speak.

"Oh right, you would leave. Or I would have my dog on you."

The vet frowned, "Make sure to have them good environment!" he said as he left.

"What a bad vet. I am not going to visit him for my chicken's care." The man grumbled as he grabbed a shovel and went into the barn.

I felt something strange, like I had lost something. The pain.. the mind.. was a strike.

I felt that someone's gone.

I squawked loudly, but.. nobody even came to my hen-house. Then I squawked for my mother, but there was only the voice saying, "Be quiet there, Chicken! Or I would feed you to the people!"

I am a chicken not a human, so I was unable to hear that. The next morning, I couldn't see my mother.

Later, I realized that she has been captured by men working at the factory and used her as.. a...human food to the humans.

I turned very pale, knowing that I was the next victim when I grew older. Also it was the fanciest restaurant of France.

I became to drop some tears, I wanted my mother here right now. But now I knew it was too late. It was 3 days news. That meant she was just eaten. I watched sadly as the people walked out of the restaurant, as I was in a van. I had came near the restaurant for an inspection of my health. I watched anxiously as I watched happy people leaving the restaurant.

This is not a happy day at all.. People who ate my mother might be.. but I am.. very.. heart-broken...

Chapter 3 of I am a Chicken [Ep. 3]: The Escape of the Barn

I am now older to recover my death of my mother. 

And I realized that my brother and father had died like this way earlier before I was born.

I kind of understood that why my mother haven't told me about this earlier.

It would probably frighten me, and that my mother knew I would die of distress.

Distress is a very important thing for chickens.

Because it could make chickens die even faster. These distress.. very important. I had some friends that died of the same way.

But I was the last one to survive. 

I didn't dared to tell this news to anyone. The oldest chicken was Ben.

Ben was a lively chicken in his youth, and he told us that the people forgot to take me to the market because there were other lively chickens. And now that he was old, the people decided to just keep Ben as a maskot.

There were other chickens that had survived because of the Factory Owner's daughter had said she liked them.

But she didn't even looked at me, so I said to all of them that I would escape.

Ben and the other chickens agreed that they would never tell, though I didn't know how would they communicate with the humans.

Ben said that the boy that was checking the chicken's numbers has been lazy these days so he said that I had a better chance escaping.

It was the day of escape, the day before, the chickens said to don't tell them that I had left. Then I would probably make a noise and awake the people. 

I was near the gate, I examined it. Luckily, there was a small hole just for me to fit me in. I squeezed in to the hole.

Then I was free!

I ran as fast as I could walking the road, then I went off-course and went to the forest. I felt never alive, I thought of my dead family again and bowed that I would see them again though it was impossible.

Unfortunately, as I left I saw a most baddest predator, the weasel.. I faced the weasel.

I flapped my wings for my final fight.

Chapter 4 of I am a Chicken [Ep. 4]: The Last Battle

The Weasel smiled, "Dinnertime chicken. Surrender."
I flapped my wings furiously, "No I would not."

The Weasel showed his flashy teeth, "Never saw a brave dinner like you."

"You should never say a animal dinner unless you capture and eat. You don't know the future that is going to happen." I said.

The Weasel shrugged, "Well I do." then the Weasel charged toward me. 

As he ran past I poked at his back.

"Ow." the weasel said, but he quickly recovered and began to run toward me again.

"I don't want to find you. I want peace." I said getting out of the way every time.

"No.. I won't lose you, anymore. I have not eaten a single thing from the past 2 days!"

I said with smug, "Well.. animals could survive for 2 weeks, I suppose. You could still be able to survive a week or so."

"That's for people!!" the weasel ran toward me. I pecked at him. I didn't had even a hope, but I kept doing the same thing.

The weasel was exhausted, probably because of no-dinnertime.

I squawked, jumping up and down.

"You are a very brave chicken.." the weasel said, he let out a big breath. Then he lay down.

I went closer to him, wondering if he's waiting for me to come closer. But after an hour he stayed that way, so I managed to come closer.

I checked his breath quickly with my feathers. No breathing.. he was dead.

I was sore hungry too, I thought of the weasel. I knew that I could be the same way of dying too. 

"No.. I won't let this happen." I said to my self. After a few days I found some food, grass and a few grains lying in the ground.

Then I saw.. something, a gate.

I saw that every chicken was outside the yard, hundreds!

I ran toward them, and squeezed in just like I had escaped.

I immediately looked at the factory, it said, "Closed"

Ben saw me and ran toward me, "The people closed the factory and the restaurant too." he said happily, "The whole barn has been abandoned. Some figure had mentioned of the bad food. And that it wasn't a fresh chicken."

I wondered how might have done that, but I shrugged and went to the other chickens.

I saw a few chickens. I saw one with my mother's face. I ran toward her, and I embraced her sensing her smell.

I cried.

She patted me, and it was all ended, happily.

-The End-
