Today is the big day. We all graduate! Now that we’re adults, soon we’ll be moving out of the\u00a0nursery\u00a0to our new quarters and the new class will take our places here.<\/p>\n
It’s been a long hard ride but we’ve all made the grade. The care-takers, large creatures that walk on two legs like we do, have given us all high praise. “Ooo, look at that one!” they say. And, “There’s a fine one! Look at its posture, look how dignified\u00a0it carries itself.” “As fine a group as I’ve ever seen!”<\/p>\n
The care-takers are our friends, they love us and do everything for us. We love them back, indeed!<\/p>\n
We’ve been in the nursery since we were born. The care-takers taught us everything we needed to know about the nursery, where the food is, the water, where to toilet, etc. A great place, the nursery, everyone has had\u00a0free run of the place, no stress, no strain, wanting for nothing. We grew up in a positive atmosphere that I’m sure we’ll\u00a0look back on in the future with fond nostalgia.<\/p>\n
The only dark cloud to ever pass by was when an individual we called “Mort” fell from the top of the sleeping quarters and broke his leg. The care-takers came and got him and we never saw him again. They never told us what happened to him. We soon forgot him.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, life\u00a0has been\u00a0good and now\u00a0we’re moving onward and upward! The care-takers are directing us to the embarkation point and showing us to our traveling cars, not too spacious but open and airy.<\/p>\n
The cars are all loaded onto a huge vehicle that will take us all to our new lives. The whole class is really excited as we all speculate about\u00a0our bright\u00a0future.<\/p>\n
We travel across the countryside and see just how large the world really is–so much to see and do! Finally,\u00a0the huge vehicle pulls into a large door in a cavernous\u00a0building and new care-takers begin unloading our cars, placing them on a moving belt that takes\u00a0us deeper into the gargantuan structure.<\/p>\n
Then I notice something a little disturbing. There’s a guy running around down on the floor. Now usually there’s nothing strange about a guy running around except this guy doesn’t have a head!<\/p>\n
I had to catch my breath when I saw the horrific sight. I began to look at my surroundings a little closer. In the distance I saw others hanging from a moving line, all without heads! I could feel my heart beat accelerate. This wasn’t good. The headless ones went into an enclosure and came out the other side of it completely naked, stripped of their coverings.<\/p>\n
My mind reeling, nothing makes sense. The care-takers were so kind, they gave us everything, helped us when we were sick. Why have they delivered us to this hell?<\/p>\n
The car in front stops and care-takers\u00a0remove\u00a0the individuals inside one by one. They’re putting each\u00a0head through a hole in a machine and cha-ching!<\/em> the head drops into\u00a0a wire basket beneath it and the care-taker hangs the lifeless body on a hook. Some of the eyes in the heads on top\u00a0in the basket\u00a0are blinking. My heart is beating like it will explode any second.<\/p>\n Why are they doing this to us? I begin to scream like everyone else in the car as we realize we’re next. Above the moving line of hooks\u00a0that carries our cadavers away\u00a0is a legend that says “Nugget Line.”<\/p>\n In my hysteria, wildly\u00a0looking\u00a0about for some way out to no avail, I see another area where the naked corpses are being dismembered. Nearby,\u00a0a care-taker sits\u00a0gnawing on someone’s leg and it dawns on me. They’re going to eat us! They raised us, took good care of us just so they could kill us and eat us! I keep on screaming.<\/p>\n As they push my head through the hole I see another word there I can’t figure out–strange thing to contemplate at this moment but, in spite of my overwhelming fear,\u00a0I can’t help asking, “What’s a McDonalds?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today is the big day.
