Coronation Chicken by Ben Cottam
It's not every day a chicken appears on your doorstep. And this one is massive. Fiction inspired by the week's news, read by Tim Downie.
It's not every day a chicken appears on your doorstep. And if you're not local, you might wonder where it's come from. Is it a fugitive seeking shelter, or a sort of monster, a so-called frankenchicken, that seems to be growing exponentially?
And why doesn't Laura seem to care?
