The Chicken Man Story
Courtesy from Pinterest |
So, there's this lady -
her name is Janice - she is so gorgeous, smart, and fancy. Actually, that's not
important. So, in one fine day, she plans to go to somewhere to buy a lunch and
pullover to the ATM nearby her workplace by her car. Everything's perfect a
long the way to the bistro and the ATM as well. After buy a lunch - tuna
sandwich and a diet coke by Pepsi - she goes any faster to ATM - the time
will be up. While she waits for the ATM's queue, she looks a clown - let's say
chicken man - because she guesses that behind that costume, there is a guy who
dance a chicken dance and perform as he want, with the uplifting music, he
dances so simply but silly. Janice is just laughing for a while to look that
chicken man. Ten minutes later, it's her turn, she gets in to the ATM and take
some money, etc. After that, when Janice finishes and leaves the ATM, the
chicken man comes up in front of her. She feels so strange and also confuse. It
turns out, that chicken man takes off his costume! Actually, the man wears
everything black - black shirt, black jeans, black watch, and black cap which
is covers his half face - and with a gun! What a surprise!
Janice screams. She feels
insecure. The chicken man - or now we call it The Robber - puts the gun in
Janice's forehead. The chicken man which turns out become a robber, basically
he tries to rob Janice, maybe because he knows that Janice is rich and already
took a lot of money from ATM just now. To cut a long story short, the robber is
actually Janice's ex-boyfriend - named Frank - who needs money to pay his own
bill. That's why he robs Janice. Why Frank robs Janice? Why don't anybody else?
Just simply answer, "You still owes me some money. Get my money back! I
need to pay my apartment and my another bill. I need to eat anything else
beside hot dog and tap water". Janice is silent and cannot say anything
else but give some money. "Thank you", Frank runs but come back again
and said, "You're rich but you even don't know how to spend. Idiot!",
Frank disappears immediately. Janice is still silent, it's frozen actually.
