The Quiet One

Sun Jan 8
The child’s salad bar art…. Meet Fred. Fred was overjoyed to be put together on the plate. He finally felt happy, confident… complete. He watched with wonder as the restaurant ceiling raced past, as did a few friendly faces. Fred wondered if they would like him if they would — just for a moment — stop to talk to him. Then he felt himself tip slightly and come to a rest. Everyone at the table leaned in. There were “ohhs” and “ahhs” all around and photos were taken. Fred felt as if he was the salad king of the world! He puffed up as much as his edemome cheeks would allow… And then he heard it — the words that put everything terrifyingly into perspective:

“I think I’ll eat his eyes first.”
