The "Zombie" Chicken..... True Story!!!!!
Once again, it was a late night, about 3 am, bringing my ex to work in Putnam. We were headed down route 21....about 3 miles from her store... 50mph... when all of a sudden something runs out into the road.... whap! wtf! Oh no i hit it.... what was that? I creep to a halt... oh man there's feathers everywhere. I look back like 50 yards and there's the animal (roadkill)...... a chicken. The ex states...um i have to get to work. Ok, ok... let's go. I bring her to work. The whole time thinking about the poor chicken lying there lifeless in the road. I hope he's dead and not suffering i think to myself. I'm going to have to head back once she's at work and make sure it's not suffering. I drop her off and make my way back...15 min had gone by since the accident. Up ahead i see it.... oh man it's just laying there. Oh crap yeah it's a dead chicken i notice as i arrive at the scene. I decide to park the car and make sure it's dead, like the fact that it's been lying there in the road for 15 min couldn't tell me that. I exit the car...the morning is faintly starting to get lighter. I edge my way up to the carcass, feathers still blowing in the morning breeze. I do the curious extended neck thingy that people do as they get close to something curious. Yup def a chicken and def no longer suffering. I extend my foot out to move it out of the road.....all of a sudden! "BUCK BUCK BUCKOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" There was the loudest, craziest, chicken call you could ever imagine. I'm startled as i look and see the chicken leap up off the ground! It's eyes crazy with rage! "BUCKBUCKBUCK!!!" I jump back startled as hell as the chicken lunges at me! wtf! This dead chicken is now acting like a rabid dog i think as it's lunging after me! The only thing i can think to do is run for the car....i do so but this chicken is crazy fast! As i reach the car i can't get the door open as the chicken is right behind me...."BUCKBUCKOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I decide to run around the car! So does the the chicken, screaming its war cries! One lap around the car...look over my shoulder.... damn he's still there and coming closer! As i make my second lap i think, am i actually be accosted by a dead chicken? I look down...oh shit he's almost got me! "BUCKBUCKBUCKCOCK!!!!!!!!" As i make my third lap around the car i notice feathers flying in the air from his wings....i now have a quarter car length on him....i reach for the door handle... open the door.... jump in and slam it shut.... as i do i hear a thud on the drivers door and once again "BUCK BUCK BUCKCOCK!!!!!!" Then as if he instantly knew he could no longer get me, he stopped and leisurely walked off into the woods cackling.... I sat there for a few minutes thinking... did this just really happen? wtf! Who the hell is going to believe this?!? I shook my head in amazement as i drove off a battered and mentally scarred man......... This story i swear is true...if not, would i be man enough to say that i was terrorized by a chicken? So if you're ever driving out on route 21 in Putnam, Ct in the middle of the night, and if you should happen to see a chicken in or near the road.... put the pedal to the medal and don't stop....don't even look back!
