  June 16, 2008 at 14:43 redduffman So he decided to hang out at the airport and blend into the next Hawaian shirt travelling to the city by the Bay.
• 
  June 17, 2008 at 15:50 saosalavan says Once arriving in San Francisco,he faced another problem - extracting himself from the shirt, without letting the man wearing the shirt know.

  June 17, 2008 at 21:11 waugaman but the opportunity never came and Johnny eventually fell asleep. The next day he awoke in the bottom of someone's laundry basket.

  June 17, 2008 at 23:05 saosalavan says Jonny decided to leave the bigger questions for later. He was trying to think with a bird's brain. He flapped his wings and lunged out.

  June 19, 2008 at 11:19 waugaman thinks Taking half the contents of the laundry basket with him including the day old, smelly pink Hawaiian shirt used as camouflage the day before.

  June 26, 2008 at 10:48 saosalavan says hordes of screaming banshees who demanded chocolate from tourists.Jonny tried to ignore the noise by covering his ears. But where were they?
• 
  June 27, 2008 at 13:53 jennybee A newspaper fluttered across his path. Jonny noticed the headline: 'President denies Seattle leak' accompanied by a photo of a pelican.
• 
  June 27, 2008 at 14:24 jennybee He picked up the newspaper and started to read.
• 
  June 27, 2008 at 14:35 jennybee "The President today denied the alleged leakage of the Pelican virus from a Seattle research facility."
• 
  June 27, 2008 at 14:39 jennybee " The virus, which was the cause of the revolution 3 years ago, is highly dangerous and can cause metamorphosis in humans." Jonny gulped.
• 
  June 27, 2008 at 14:39 Dano "The Pelican virus?" Jonny thought. "But I was under the impression that I was the only one!"
• 
  June 27, 2008 at 15:00 jennybee He looked down at his betrottered feet and flapped his wings. So that was the cause of this mutation. But why was the Government denying it?
• 
  June 28, 2008 at 03:18 saosalavan says He suddenly felt very scared and alone. But then again, if more people caught this virus from him, he wouldn't be so alone.
• 
  June 29, 2008 at 06:46 waugaman then jonny ran. he ran like he had never run before. his head held forward with his long neck stretched out as far as it could go.
• 
  June 29, 2008 at 06:48 waugaman banshees were screaming out of his way.everything melted from his mind - watches, train cars and smelly Hawaiian shirts.
• 
  June 29, 2008 at 06:48 waugaman he thought of nothing but running. running and stretching his wings and flapping as if there were no tomorrow. then it happened...
• 
  June 29, 2008 at 10:48 saosalavan says He ran right into a wall. Lying stunned on the street, with people walking over them, he wanted to yell out that their time was nearly over.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 17:29 waugaman but "SQUAWK" was all that came out. SQUAWK? SQUAWK? SQUAWK?
• 
  July 02, 2008 at 00:28 saosalavan says A man leaned over him and kneaded his wing, near the shoulder. "Big bird," he said to the crowd. "Wonder if it's good to eat." Jonny sqawked
• 
  July 03, 2008 at 10:55 jennybee The flight to Seattle was smooth. The landing wasn't but trotters weren't designed for that. By now it was dawn; the sky pink, the air cold
• 
  July 03, 2008 at 11:02 jennybee and once again Jonny emerged from a dank side street, only this time the street ran alongside a massive concrete warehouse...

  July 06, 2008 at 14:06 saosalavan says A female voice shattered the calm. "What do you want?" A young girl, with pink complexion and dressed in pink, stood in front of him.
