The turkey watched Altered States one Tuesday afternoon and took the whole business of returning to your primitive self far too seriously. By sunset, he had released his inner Archaeopteryx, which was unfortunate because nobody had asked him to.
He stretched out his prehistoric feathers and went charging through the orchard like a roadrunner who had received bad instructions from evolution. He pecked at the apples furiously, as though each one contained a small red answer to a question asked 150 million years ago.
The apples remained silent.
He ran faster.
For several magnificent seconds he was no longer a turkey. He was the terrible ancient machinery of flight awakening beneath feathers and confusion.
Then he tripped over an apple.
Evolution watched quietly from behind a tree and decided not to interfere.
