And behind door #11….


I know today’s picture is a door, just a normal door. And it’s not even a great picture of a door. But what I want to tell you about is not the door itself, but what is be hind it, and the answer is…..

A Rooster…

Yes , I said a rooster..

...a living, breathing, crowing animal which you normally find on a farm. Did I mention that it likes to make loud noises at early hours of the morning? It does. At first, I didn’t believe it was a rooster and thought I was making up noises in my head. Then I thought it was just a rooster alarm clock continually being snoozed. Then my doubts were laid to rest one morning when I was walking down the stairs. Apartment 11’s door opened and although I did not see the bird with my eyes, the sounds were loud, real, and clearly identified as farm birds crowing, bawking and flapping wings. I stopped in hesitation for a few brief seconds in slight disbelief and considered for a moment, which Arrested Development chicken impersonation would be the best for this situation.

You may ask, “Wait, I thought you live in the city?” Yes, you are correct. I do live in the city. I live in a big, crowed city, in a pre war building, up 4 flights of stairs…above a rooster.

…. Am I alone in this?
