Congratulations on Being Eaten by a Hawk!

Today you’re going to be going about your business, collecting grain and nuts and the like that larger creatures have forgotten, when a hawk will suddenly and violently descend from the heavens and grasp you in its claws.

You’ll screech your tiny mouse lungs all the way up, and when the hawk drops you you’ll believe, because you’re a mouse and ergo are a bit of an idiot, that you are free and that you have nothing to worry about. This belief will be dashed, along with your little mousy brain, when you hit some rocks.

Then the hawk will gently descend on some thermals and settle upon the stones where your body lays so that he can eat your remains.

The whole thing is basically an allegory for the middle class in America, by the way.

Congratulations on Being Eaten by a Hawk!
