FF – Late Night Snack
Here is my story for Friday Fictioneers hosted by Rochelle. This week’s photo was contributed by Ronda Del Boccio.
Greg moaned. Lying on his back… the moon? No, a streetlight. Oh… his head… way too much whisky… so much whisky… a van… someone coming… wearing a mask, a hypodermic needle… no, no… hauled into the van… moving… smell of food… blackness…
“Hey, Baz, fast food! Fancy a kebab?”
“Dunno, these fast food vans can be a bit dodgy.”
“C’mon, sissy! Just a shame we lost Greg somewhere along the way. Hey, mate, two kebabs!”
“Of course, sir, new delivery of meat just in, very fresh!”
“Awesome! Wow, nice. My kebab tastes like single malt. Magic!”

Haha! I accidentally read the second part first, and in confusion I looked further up. It worked awesomely that way as well, maybe even better 😀

I’m impressed they could tell the flavour was single malt rather than blend. Perhaps it was a peaty malt

But I think it’s a bit harsh to blame a good Scotch when it’s men who chopped up poor Greg!

It may have got Greg into that bind in the first place, but it ultimately added to the flavour 🙂

Wonder if they do ribs? According to some cannibals it tastes more like pork, though I am unwilling to do a taste test. A long way to go before humans become the new bacon.
