Just Hangin' (in the Roost)

Well, of course I didn’t run away. There’s not much chance when you’re stuck upside down, blood sloshing around in your head, eyes unfocusing in and out, just trying to stay barely concisosus! Whoa, sorry, got so carried away I misspelled “conscious.”

Anyway, you may be wondering why I haven’t picked up the story myself for a while. There happens to be a reason for that. Unless you wanted to hear about all the birds I counted flying by, or maybe the various shades of excrement they left behind, or even how many times I could put my chin to my chained feet without fainting, then you probably did not want me to narrate.

Anyway, I’m still just hanging here, blood sloshing around in my head, fading in and out of consciousness, counting the birds and their various shades of excrement, seeing how many times I can…

Crap. I did it again, didn’t I? Must be the blood sloshing around in my head, the birds I counted and their various shades of excrement….
