The Trial

 

Initially I thought the prosecuting attorney and the judge were in cahoots.  I couldn’t understand why all of a sudden they were considering me to be a flight risk.

It was only when I was shown photographs that had been taken during yesterday’s recess when I saw the feathers sprouting out from the underside of my arms.

Of course, I had noticed them the last time I was in the shower, but I didn’t really think anything about it.  Oh yea, feathers, so what?

Since I began this story, I have been approached by Life Magazine.  They have given me a sizeable check for an exclusive, which means I cannot continue telling my story here.  They have also bought the rights to all photography pertaining to my situation.

My apologies for any inconvenience this disruption may have caused.  Once my trial has ended, the proceedings will become public record, at which time I’m sure the Life Magazine article will have hit the stands.

 

Thank you for understanding.
