FICTIONAL MEME ART
01 / THE INCIDENT

She ate.
She slept.
She stayed.

Imagine being so good at your job that you can no longer do your job.

A real red-shouldered hawk was found grounded in a Virginia driveway. Wildlife rescuers checked for injuries. Their conclusion? She was too heavy to fly.

They suspected a nearby supply of free-ranging chickens had become her personal buffet. Our fictional sequel starts at the departure gate.

Yes, the hawk story is real ↗Reported by UPI, 2 November 2026. Our airport setting and character are parody, not documentary footage.
