FF – Hell’s Kitchen
Here is my story for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by Rochelle. This week’s photo was contributed by Fleur Lind.
Bob stared through the glass of the table. How far down did that go? Maybe all the way to the depths of Hell itself…!
Suddenly the tabletop flipped up and a bat-winged monstrosity exploded out, claws slashing, eyes glowing fire-red.
Bob screamed.
The creature screeched, fire issuing from its hideous mouth.
Bob peed himself.
It threw something at him. He looked down.
It was a steak, medium rare, mushroom sauce, sautéed potatoes.
The creature grated “bon appetit!” and descended back to Hell.
Bob tucked in. Now probably wasn’t the best moment to mention he had ordered the Chef’s Salad.

Oh, I don’t know. I’d love to find out what would have happened had he mentioned that he’d wanted a salad. It could have gotten REALLY ugly.

If that was the chef’s salad… they’ll need a new chef. Great fun, that monster was described so well.

You must have ordered the devil’s steak and potatoes. Perhaps that was the Chef cut up into a ‘salad’.

Yes, maybe the menu actually said “Chef Salad”!

Dear Ali,
I daresay he’d have gotten a “tossed salad.” Interesting service. Might be worth it for the entertainment value.
Shalom,

Dear Rochelle,
True, I bet people flock there to see what it’s like. Probably just the once, though.

I’m sure the place is advertised as a “unique dining experience” and they live up to the marketing! Creative writing, Ali. You took the image and ran with it.

I keep missing these because they’re no longer up by Thursday morning my time. Bob better worry about whether it’s customary to tip in hell or not…

I’d be inclined to tip, just in case.
I’ve been too busy recently to come up with stories straight away. In fact some weeks I’m not writing one at all, if I can’t think of something fairly rapidly.
