Long Burrito is Long

A Burrowing Owl is burrito-wrapped in a towel that is far too long for him. The towel is mostly white with floral patterning in shades of pink, green, cyan and yellow. Only the owl's head is visible, oval like the Toyota logo, and his straw-yellow eyes are wide and unfocussed like he's seen Some Things. His mouth is open like Beaker the Muppet and we are, thanks to the medium, spared his eldritch vocalisations. The arm of a rehabber extends from bottom left to hold the burrito with a blue glove and features forearm tattoos of oversized postage stamps. Clinical equipment is behind, as well as dark-tinted cabinets with silver frames.

l wasn’t there for his intake exam, but his favorite meal in care is mice and mealworms and he is very vocal now that he’s feeling better!
