People don't know but aging is a non-deterministic process.

What if, by pure chance, the chicken was never hit by a single particle of ionising radiation?

What if, by pure chance, the chicken's cell division never had any errors in the genetic code?

What if ... the chicken drank from the fountain of youth?

Have you considered this?

Maybe he just took really good care of it. But I wonder, why he would only notice on his death bed. Why not earlier? Maybe they lost contact and the chicken heard he was ill and came to cluck it's farewells, just in time.

We are given no indication that he first wondered this on his deathbed, only that he wonders (perhaps in continuation of the biggest oddity in his life) on his deathbed.

[-] woodenghost@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago

That's true. We should never stop to wonder.

I've long maintained that two sentence horror can only ever be a simple setup-punchline format, which makes it functionally a joke.

I heard the squeaky footsteps fade as the killer clown walked past and down the main hallway of the killer clown factory.

I moved to open the closet door, finally leaving my hiding place to make my escape, but as I stood to turn the knob, I heard a sound from behind me—the last sound I’d ever hear—which sent shivers down my spine: “Honk honk”

"Ah, finally, I'm all alone," I said to myself as I sat in my bedroom at midnight.

A man shit down on reddit and types a run on sentence.

Then he types another.

Stuck my dinkle into the hyper jorkulator hole. Looked up in shock that it was actually the peepee nebulizer hole.

Welcome to c/writing!

This is a space for all kinds of discussion referring to writing. This could include the structure and style found in different types of writing, authors worth talking about, different genres, trends, etc.

This is also a space for users who wish to share their own writing for feedback. This could look like independently posting excerpts of poems/prose/plays or it could be replying to one of the writing prompt threads. Brainstorming and worldbuilding ideas are welcome too!

Ideally, this will be a community where we work together to become better writers and appreciators of writing in all its forms.

All that said, please note that Code of Conduct still applies here. Please apply content warnings where applicable and spoiler material that might be inappropriate.
