RE: Unofficial Pizza Treasure Hunt.

At this time of the morning, there are homeless everywhere. It's not my normal hour to be up and around, but you can't just pass up the opportunity to at least try to find something so valuable as this nft.

As I headed to my favorite donut shop, a man walked by me, knocking my shoulder as he passed. He was mumbling something about gum stuck on his shoe. Another vagrant pointed his fingerless gloved hand at him yelling some obscenities while also mentioning something about a sliding pizza.

It's not every day you hear something like that, so you say, "Hey, bub...did you say 'sliding pizza?'"

"What's it to ya?" followed by a few explicatives...

"I got a bag of peanuts and a couple of cigarettes I'll give ya if you can tell me more about this sliding pizza thing."

"Why didn't ya say so, kid?" He put out his snot and dirt soaked gloved hand out for the cigarettes and pizza.

I wasn't sure about it, but I gave it to him anyway. I didn't have much need for either, anyway.

"Go over to Zeelis St, hook a left and you'll see some scaffolding some guy was jumping off of. Good luck from there."

I forgot all about the donuts and headed to Zeelis Street. When I got there I looked all around. This was a rundown part of town. The sun had come up and it the weather was warming. As I leaned against the wall, a plop of the largest bird turd I'd ever seen splattered across my shoulder, some splashing up to my cheek.

"Awww-yuck! That's disgusting!" I looked up and saw the bird. I through my flashlight at it, figuring it would be able to take the brunt of the hit if it landed wrong. The bird flew off as I missed, just barely. Then I thought I saw something. I crossed the street, pulled out my binoculars and saw a nest of what seemed to be the plastic from a few 6-packs of soda, some grasses, and some other plastics...what looked like an old keyboard chewed up from the early part of the century. That seemed very peculiar, so I pulled out my drone, powered it up and flew it to the nest. I could see it wasn't just a keyboard. There was something else peculiar...however, the bird dive bombed my drone, dropping it like a bird of prey taking out a sparrow.

"DRAT! I HATE that bird!" I knew what I had seen and my heart was racing. How could I get to that nest? That must have been what we were told to 'look up' to. I pulled out my apple and took a bite. The bird flew next to me. I cut a piece of the apple and tossed it to the side. The bird went after it.

"Aha! You stupid bird!" I cut up several pieces, with the last piece, stabbing it into the ground with a pencil to keep it on the ground.

The bird took to it like a wise hunter's trap. I grabbed my rope and flung it up onto a nearby branch of the dead tree near the nest. The rope was only 5 feet long, but it was just long enough for me to get it over the branch, and pulling up on both sides, climbed up to the branch and hoisted myself on top. I had to leap for it, but it was worth it. That nest had the thumbdrive I had been looking for! Everyone had been looking for it. With my leap, I was able to grab the snarl of a nest while the bird was occupied trying to pull up the apple slice from the ground.

The next was much larger than anticipated, and I grabbed what I could. When I landed, I heard my knee and ankle pop. My ankle was twisted bad. The whole bunch of plasticky things landed on my head and newly pooped on shirt. There were tons of thumbdrives up there. This was a crazy bird!

I pulled all the thumbdrives into my backpack and started walking home. Each step was excruciating. My ankle throbbed the whole way. I got lost a few times, but the maps kept me on the fastest route home. I had to get home because my tablet was running low on energy. With a charge up and a ton of anticipation, I went from thumb drive to thumb drive and found some had pictures no one at any age should see as well as some that had homework from students years back. That bird had a fetish for thumb drives! Finally, with only 3 to go, I plugged one in and presto! My world changed. I saw the NFT everyone had been hunting for!
