Mad Season
One fine, sunny afternoon in the windy city of Chicago an invisible threat grew. This was the time in evolution when insanity would thrive. Nothing seemed to be going wrong but the famous city would soon turn infamous not only for the Cubs and the "Bartman Ball" but for being the epicenter of the strangest natural disasters in the history of the universe.
This is the kind of thing that brilliant but unheard speakers like Ms. Cleo have been trying to warn us of for years every time she selected the death card from her tarot deck, this day was what it would be pointing to. You may be asking yourself "what the hell is he talking about" well if you'd read on and stop having conversations with yourself you could find out.
So the warnings went unheeded as they often times do in such important situations. Now given an opportunity to guess where something like this might begin one might try Toronto considering everything comes from Toronto: Garbage strikes, SARS, the works. But in this case it started further south, on Navy Pier in Chicago, in the shadows of the Sears Tower as much of the city is. Now for those of you who don't know the city, Navy Pier is a fancy mall, shopping and dining area the juts out into Lake Michigan across the way from the Shedd Aquarium.
Here's how it all went down: Pigeons. Yes, that's right, it was all caused by pigeons. All things of this nature need a vector and the scapegoat of this disorder was your ordinary, poop on your car pigeon. Now there's a McDonald's on Navy Pier and a group of friends was sitting outside at it enjoying some fries and a few laughs...they wouldn't be laughing too soon. As they sit there these pigeons begin to perch on the railings, and multiple like that infamous playground scene in The Birds.
The friends had been throwing fries at each other and so the birds drew closer to the humans to scavenge for their dropped food. One of them, Katherine, hated birds and went to shoo it away went it leaped up on her and uncharacteristically bit her.
"OOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!" she screamed in pain.
"Yuck, you don't know what kinds of disease that thing has, we should probably go have that looked at," replied her friend, Sarah.
They didn't know the half of it, but as they made their way towards the mall First Aide, they would find out.
