Tom's Revenge (Music Video)

By PROJECT MONROE · Melodic Death Metal · From the album A FULL YEAR OF MURDER

It was Thanksgiving Day, and Tom the turkey had been dreading it for weeks. Every year, he watched as his fellow turkeys were captured, slaughtered, and served on a silver platter for humans to enjoy. Tom couldn't handle the thought of being the main course, but he had no choice - it was simply the way of life for turkeys.

But this year, something snapped inside Tom. As he roamed the farm with his turkey friends, seeing the humans preparing for their feast, something inside him changed. He couldn't take it anymore - the fear, the sadness, the anger. He wanted revenge.

As the sun began to set on the farm, Tom's demeanor shifted. His once docile and timid nature turned dark and menacing. His beady eyes glinted with malice as he made his way through the farm, seeking out his human oppressors.

With a newfound strength and determination, Tom launched his attack. He used his sharp beak and powerful wings to attack any human he came across, his once fluffy feathers now matted with blood. He didn't discriminate - men, women, and children were all fair game in his eyes.

The humans were caught off guard, not expecting a turkey to fight back. They tried to defend themselves, but Tom was relentless. He chased them through the farm, cornering them and unleashing his fury in the most gruesome ways imaginable.

Some were pecked to death, others had their throats slit by Tom's razor-sharp beak. He even resorted to drowning some of his victims in the troughs of water meant for the farm animals. Tom's actions were savage and horrifying, causing chaos and panic among the human population.

As the night went on, the farm was turned into a bloodbath. The once peaceful Thanksgiving dinner turned into a nightmare as Tom's killing spree continued. And by the time the sun rose the next morning, not a single human was left alive on the farm.

Tom stood alone, surrounded by the lifeless bodies of his enemies. He had finally gotten his revenge, but at what cost? The weight of what he had done slowly weighed on him, and he began to feel a deep sense of remorse.

Realizing the gravity of his actions, Tom decided it was time to leave the farm and never return. He couldn't face the other animals, knowing he had become a monster. And so, Tom the turkey disappeared, never to be seen again.

From that day on, the farm was known as a haunted place, where the ghost of a deranged turkey roamed, seeking vengeance for his kind. And every Thanksgiving, the farm animals would gather and whisper the chilling tale of Tom the turkey who couldn't handle the humans eating his kind anymore, and went on a killing spree in the most gruesome ways possible.
