Just before he bites the sandwich, he notices a pigeon. It flies up to him and stares at the sandwich with its big beady eyes. It tilts its head and blinks. The businessman looks nervously at his sandwich and then back at the pigeon. The pigeon licks it beak.
Suddenly, the pigeon attacks like a pitbull, latching onto the sandwich. The businessman tries to yank the sandwich away, but the pigeon WILL NOT LET GO!
A tug-of-war ensues between a grown man and a small, but voracious pigeon. The business man tries with all his strength to pull his sandwich free...but he is overpowered and falls to the ground. The pigeon swallows the sandwich and looks down at him. It hops closer to him as he lays on the ground.
The businessman feels around in his jacket for something else to give the pigeon so it won't eat him alive. He reaches inside his jacket and pulls out an Alka-Seltzer tablet. He looks at the pigeon. It licks its beak again. The businessman smiles, rips off the wrapper like he's pulling the pin of a grenade and chucks the Alka-Seltzer far away. He then curls up in a ball to protect himself.
The pigeon hops off the bench, flies over, and eats the Alka-Seltzer. It then inflates, it's body growing like a balloon. The camera cuts back to the man. We hear a loud explosion, a bright flash, and a puff of feathers. He lifts up his head and it cuts back to the bird. All that is left are two smoking pigeon legs surrounded by a charred black blast radius.
The businessman dusts himself off and sits back down on the bench. He has a smug grin as he pulls out a cookie from his brown paper sack. He smells it, feeling quite proud of his victory. He suddenly hears the cooing sounds of hundreds of pigeons. He opens his eyes to see a large group of pigeons staring at the cookie he now holds.
The camera cuts back to the businessman who gulps.
THE END
