The Chicken-Man
March 9, 2009
As my brother and I finally venture into the world of scriptwriting, it doesn’t surprise me that one of my first tasks on a Monday morning at work is to help a student write a story for his English class.
I told him that I would type it for him, but I would not add in my own words. I would only TYPE it for him. KEEP this in mind.
I don’t have the original story, so here is the synopsis. I’ve as much sense out of it as possible:
The Chicken-Man
A man is walking into a pharmacy in Madrid when suddenly a flash of light transports him to the Arctic. There is no explanation as to why this happened, just accept it. Once there he finds Sir Walter Greatee who is also known as The Chicken Lord. He tells this man that he will become “The Chicken-Man”. Screaming horrendously, the man’s body is transformed. His legs start turning yellow and his feet crack open to become talons. His body begins growing feathers and the skin beneath his chin swells and wrinkles, becoming a gobble. The man’s mouth and nose morph into one giant beak. His eyes turn bright red and thus, the Chicken-Man is born.
Quickly the Chicken-Man is introduced to the Arctic Chicken, who is the leader of the Chicken Gang. The Arctic Chicken is white, of course, but has a cool arctic blue gobble and and a blue glow about it. The Chicken-Man makes his acquaintance, but not before noticing a rat hanging out nearby. The Arctic Chicken introduces the Chicken-Man to the rat, who is the Arctic Chicken’s brother and is named Eyeball.
The drama of the story happens where we find out that there is some treachery in The Chicken Gang. The rat, Eyeball, has committed an act of murder and eaten the Arctic Chicken’s one and only egg.
The End.
Yes. Unbelievable. The reason it ends so abruptly is because the kid had to GO to that English class hahahaha. This is the short version, but the entire story was written in 45 minutes. And TRUST ME when I tell you that my synopsis made WAY more sense then the original document, and that’s saying something.
Key points:
1. The Chicken Gang
2. Eyeball, the rat
3. The fact that a chicken has a rat for a brother
4. I don’t think this kid knows that all chickens are female
5. Sir Walter Greatee
6. Madrid
