At one point my next door neighbors had a chicken ... a rooster, to be exact. I think it became dinner one night. Of course, these same neighbors had four children - and the chicken - in a one-bedroom apartment.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's a problem in any world.
Many worlds would be more likely to eat or ignore the cat than have it on their shoulder.
Today is Wear Bodily Fluids day. Okay, it's not. It's Clutch Your Pearls day.

Then they need to give you a raise. If no one else can/will work with her, you need hazard pay.

An astounding number of my friends suddenly have chickens.
But I live in rural Arizona, so...

I am not a fan of urban chickens (and they are very popular in the towns where I've lived the past 10+ years) since my experience with them has been that they are dirty, smelly, stupid and mean. YChickenMV.
They are legal in my town so long as the coop is 100 feet from any other structure. There are a number of them that roam the neighborhood, often ending up in one of the parks, which is thus often littered with chicken shit. Not. A. Fan.

Because books.
We use a lot of eggs, but not enough to justify keeping chickens. Unless we were going to eat the chickens, too, and I'm really not up for home slaughtering and plucking. So.

Sparky, do you think I could get hired as a law librarian - or, rather, a "Research & Electronic Resources Professional" at a law firm?
Chickens are illegal in Athens, GA, (in city limits) but I suspect there are a lot of secret hipster chickens out there.

flea, can you send me the advert? Perkins may also have a better grasp of what you'd need to learn to say in an interview, since I live in the ivory tower and don't get to play with the good toys.
