SHORT AND WEIRD | AUGUST PROMPT
For the Love of a Tidy Salad Bar
A visit from the Health Department has me Screaming for Vengeance
Most men experience this at some point in their lives, but I never thought it would happen to me. After years of professional fulfillment, being a heavy metal god had lost all meaning for me. I needed to do some serious soul-searching, so I headed out to the highway. I had nothing to lose at all.
And that’s when it happened. From the seat of a Harley-Davidson, I glimpsed my future. Just blocks from my home, a Pizza Hut franchise had just been listed for sale. Only a fool would pass that up!
At three months in, things were going great. I only had one problem, a problem as tough as British Steel. I couldn’t keep the salad bar tidy. I was not only hell-bent for leather but also on finding a viable solution.
Then it hit me. I would bring my hamsters to work. Skittles and Fluffbottom would be a godsend at the salad bar!
