The were real, and still technically exists. They just evolved. Chickens used to be a dinosaur, and most of them like to be petted. But like most animals it would depend on the personality of each individual animal, and whether or not the breed had been domesticated.

the lightning rod

whether it’s your turbulent nature, your flash quick mind, or the air of unknown about you, your undercurrent is the lightning rod. you are somewhat unpredictable, but if we unravelled we’d see you know exactly what you’re doing, but it’s makes you feel less vulnerable to pretend it wasn’t planned. some people stay back from you, but others would follow you cross country, for the very same reason. they don’t know enough about you. the difference is in who wants to learn more. keep your golden nature, it’s exciting, but don’t be afraid to admit what you know. matshona dhliwayo said “lightning strikes but does not roar” your bite will always be worse than your bark, keep that close to your chest.

[SMS: Peanut M&M] What?! What do you mean? What do mean you need help?

[SMS: Peanut M&M] If this your way of asking me to beat him up for you, I'll do it.

Emily rarely got sick, she had avoided all the major illnesses and plagues that effected her nation over the years. Not even the Spanish Flu had left its fingerprint on her. There had been other signs, her cycle being late. But she just chalked that up to work related stress, it wouldn't be the first time it had happened to her. However, the sudden onslaught of nausea, coupled with the inability to keep most meals down was troublesome. The first week, she had chalked it up to some bizarre virus, though to her surprise when she had taken her temperature a few times that past week, nothing abnormal registered. It had been over a month since she had traveled for work, a trip that had led her to New York City. But even if she had caught something there, that was a long incubation period.

She tried over the counter medications of all kinds, but nothing eased her condition. She could be cooking her favorite meal, when all of the sudden the smell would suddenly make her stomach clench. In addition to her new found sensitivity to smell, she also suffered from a metallic taste ever constant in her mouth. After an entire week of being miserable and pushing through her mysterious illness, she decided to visit her doctor.

It was a routine check up, until the nurse had posed a scenario that Emily hadn't even considered. Could she be pregnant? She assumed she didn't need to worry about that, she had a new IUD inserted recently. She had laughed off the question, but agreed to take the test anyway. The redhead had been sent home with some nausea medicine. However, she couldn't get the possibility that she might be pregnant out of her brain. She ended up running to the drugstore and grabbing a box of pregnancy tests.

At home, the nurse and the doctor's assessment had proven to be correct. At least according to the little screen with the words, positive displayed. First, there was shock. Then, there was denial, and a whole rush of emotions that Emily forced down. She needed to remain calm, after all, she wouldn't get her results from the doctor for at least two days. It could be a false positive.
