As a chick growing up, I watched my elders get shot- I thought we were at war with the humans. But no, they kill and eat us every year around the same time. thats not war, it’s slaughter! I am old enough to get eaten now, but I don’t want to get eaten, I want to live!
I lived through the Bird Flu era, but I don’t know if i have the bird flu. I had headache symptoms these past four years. And with all this disaster going on in the world, I think I can get the best of it and live to be the oldest turkey there is.
My feathers are too beautiful to be plucked! Right now I’m in my prime condition as a turkey. I command all the young turkey to stay away from any suspicious looking objects and no to go to any turkey calls. I seen this trick too many times. I see it coming up the drive way.
This year, I’m the last of my kind. All my kids and other family members got killed on the same day. How can I repopulate the field if I don’t have a mate. I’m glad I’m the last turkey because I can get saved by the government. i can get saved but I’ll be pretty lonely. I can hear you humans already: “Eat him! He’s too delicious to waste!” I say “No, actually I’m too stringy, my meat is too spoiled.
I did it! I’m the last turkey in the world. Also the oldest. Todays date: June 15, 2089. I am 99 years old. I lived so long that the people don’t eat turkey anymore, they would rather eat canadian geese for Thanksgiving. I’m glad they’re eating canadian geese, because there is a heck of a lot of geese. Bye bye humans! I’m going to live at Hawaii.
