Lobotomy

Lobotomy
Originally uploaded by devastationstudios.

This bird had a lobotomy a number of years, and has not coped well. Years ago, this bird was a real troublemaker. It would run screaming down streets in the middle of the night, he would throw rocks at windows, and even go as far as to throw footballs at people. Perhaps these actions didn't warrant a lobotomy, but in its shop class, as it was cutting a piece of wood, a splinter got in the finger of a classmate. That classmate was the daughter of a rich and influential man, who lobbied for the lobotomy, and ultimately succeeded.

Now, this bird lives in a hospital, where it sits in a wheelchair at one end of a chessboard, while old men play both sides of the game. It takes pills daily to keep it from ceasing to breathe, and wheels around on a basketball court while other people throw basketballs at it, in an ironic turn of events.

Recently, it "befriended" an older gentleman who offered to teach him the way of the wind. A raving lunatic, this gentleman believes that when the wind blows excessively, he gains incredible powers that he will use, in conjunction with the bird's powers that he hopes to teach, to break out of the hospital. If this ever comes to fruition, you can be certain that you will hear about it first, here at the Psycho Bird Zone.
