Note: Unfinished, contains somewhat explicit disturbing scenes. « I quit! » I shrieked with a maniacal, defeated expression on my otherwise listless mug.

“Saul's” by Daud Moor

For every renowned food place one visits, a new flavor is discovered. Something never before encountered. Perhaps a foreign ingredient, or condiment, or a never before attempted amalgamation. The key to building a successful food business is to create a yearning in the patrons, an urge to recollect the memory of whatever peculiar and unusual mixture fondled their tongue villi.
