Earlier section lost, leaving only someone annoyed that a painted portrait showed the subject's internal organs instead of the face.
But now I'm a passenger in a light plane. Up front next to the pilot, who's freaking out because flying along outside her window is a chicken, doing pretty good time (keeping up with the plane at least) despite not having any head or neck.
The chicken continues flying along, passing other birds, all different species, who immediately pull their heads in as well and drop out of the sky.
I'm back on the ground, and there are headless birds scattered around. I look up and now there's a spaceship coming down. Looks a little bit like 2001's Discovery. From the overheard radio traffic it sounds like its crew just can't be bothered keeping it aloft.
The sky is bright blue and cloudless; beyond that, looming large despite being out in orbit and faded by the intervening air, is some sort of artificial structure, looking like someone tried building an armillary sphere out of railway track and then decided to bulk it up with armour plate.
