My contest entry for 55 word story contest.
Bob was hatched inside a Chicago trash can in summer.

He lived at home until he got his wings at five days.

He moved into a roomy place next to a diner. Bob was known to say about the diner "be careful when it flushes."

He was swatted at twenty days.

Bob will be missed.
