Death

She shouldn’t have been there

she usually stayed in the yard

but not today

She barely had time to look up

she probably didn’t have the ability to comprehend anything

Except for panic

2000 pounds of screaming metal

Traveling at a mile a minute

Slammed into her little body

Crushing bone and ripping flesh

For a couple of seconds afterward

Her body twitched

The others couldn’t understand

Their friend, our chicken

Alive no more

The day went on
