Breakfast


Just a day in his life is like anyone else’s. He starts with a cup of strong smelling tea and an expression of “don’t talk to me” that is like anyone else’s. He always perks up after breakfast from an expression of “don’t talk to me” that everyone else has, and he always perks up after breakfast after his strawberry-swirled muffin everyone else has and everyone wants. After his strawberry-swirled muffin, he remembers everyone wants the mint-swirled muffins and he remembers the cafeteria lady whom everyone hates, who today forgot to give the mint-swirled muffins and the vanilla cake with coffee ice cream in the center. The cafeteria lady, whom everyone hates, who today forgot to give anyone the vanilla cake with coffee ice cream in the center, comes to work every day flustered. Anyone, dealing with him comes to work every day flustered. Everyone can imagine dealing with him would be horrible. Everyone can imagine a world without muffins would be horrible. He starts with a cup of strong smelling tea and a world without muffins: just a day in his life.
