Today's #flashfiction The Most Perilous Junk Food

Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door.”
Harry Houdini* #quote


        Tomorrow I'll be hanging with my friend Jessica and going to see the new the Avengers movie, Age of Ultron. (Hopefully the Age of Ultron doesn't last as long as the Ice Age or else I'll get sore because those movie chairs can get uncomfortable after awhile.)


The Most Perilous Junk Food

        The Mega-Burrito-Burger-Ball. A most mysterious and dangerous junk food. A daring chef decided to ignore all laws of decency and create a ball of twisted flavor unique to this world no matter how it affected the body. Calling it a burrito and a burger merely approximated its form as a sequence of bread buns held together by grease and cheese rolled around a core in a burrito like folding ball. The interior contained a concoction formed of years of thought. The “chef”, if creating such a monstrosity should allow him to keep such a title, worked hard to create something that he wanted to use to go down in culinary history.
         Sugars, spices, beans upon cheeses, synthetic flavorings of the fast food industry and his own creation. All went in along with meats and little bits, even if only bits as small as dust, of nuts and fruit. He aged food in strange ways to create some sort of effect unknown along with his chemicals. What happens when chemistry born of a lab meets liquor along with spinach?

         This chef did have a small cooking show with a small following. Usually it showed boring dishes, but he brought in this one to show to the world. Since it took so long to create all the ingredients he only had one, so he ate it on the show. He smiled on the first bite and dug into it like a starving man, the flavor he created rushing through his brain as a strange stimulus that filled every neuron. He then fell dead shortly after finishing. His mind couldn't handle the flavor.
