Poxners Flight

Meet young chicken Poxner, budding inventor and engineer extraordinaire. Okay-- not everyone says that. His neighbors mostly say that if anything is labeled as idiot-proof, that means they haven't checked with Poxner yet. His best friend Omeek doesn't say that, though. He mostly says, "You better let me drive, Poxner, you need a helmet for this one."

This day finds Poxner at the edge of a building, testing a new glider in the center of their village. It's hastily built, but don't worry-- it's badly put together as well. One small step for this chicken could lead to a giant leap into disaster!

To round out the inventory, the village also has a smelly cart, a bad-tempered priest, and a creepy stalker in the hills near the big city. We'll work in a gas-explosion as well if time permits.
