The dinner
The lights above were dimly lit, the atmosphere rather melancholic as I waited expectantly for my dinner. I stared across, the silhouette of two other diners discerned clearly despite the lighting. I started at one bemusedly as he smiled at me, perching his leg on the other one like a trishaw rider from the past.
Suddenly, from the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the waiter arriving. My eyes trailed his every step with anticipation, the corners of my mouth twisting upwards to form an inconspicuous smile. When the food was delivered, the two other diners in front of me received theirs at the same time.
“Enjoy your dinner,” the waiter muttered hesitantly. I detected a strain of sarcasm. Or perhaps I was thinking too much? Amidst the flurry of activity as all the diners tucked in theirs meals, a rat suddenly appeared, tugging at my fish, attempting to pull it into wherever it lived. Overcome by fury, I stood up and gave a well-aimed kick at what I presumed was its butt. As I did so, the diners stared at me with a mixture of disgust and amusement. The rat emitted an ear-piercing scream as it rolled away into the distance. The restaurant was indeed laudable, its hygiene standards a complete fiasco. I thought of lodging a complaint but decided against it.
Much to my consternation, the humidity was stifling, causing me to sweat gradually, the fan on the ceiling nearby hardly providing any air circulation. A buzz disturbed the air as two flys invited themselves close to my food. Staring venomously at them, I swapped through the air in a futile attempt to eliminate the threat. Despite the ineffectual attempt, they soon disappeared, providing me a moment of respite. I thought of complaining…but decided against it.
As I finally finished most of the food from my dinner, I picked up the drumstick from my plate. As I opened my mouth, the thought, “Leave the best for the last” ran through my mind. Just then, I saw something black and thin. From the middle of the flour coating and flesh, I pulled out a long strand of hair. A long, black strand of hair, imagine that. Despite it being small, the strand of hair appeared monolithic against my drumstick. This was the last straw.
“Waiter,” I called.
“Listen, jailbird, you are not allowed to call me waiter, get it? Call me warden!”
“Warden, what is this dinner about? Everything is a failure.”
“Well, you can’t expect much. Afterall, you did wrong, and you ought to take this as part of punishment.”
“But…” I stopped in mid sentence.
“Just keep quiet and eat!” the warden retorted through the bars.
My two inmates, Jack and John smiled devilishly at me through the dim lighting. As we stared at each other, we simultaneously broke into laughter, the situation unexpectedly amusing. I decided to complain again…but decided against it. Afterall, this is jail, not some restaurant, wasn’t it?
(I guess i wont be writing much essays this few weeks because they will be concentrating on comprehension instead but yea. Just give me your comments. Everything is fine and well. Im glad it is, im super glad it is. Thank you so much for having me in mind....wow, i really feel happy haha. Take care and rest early. It is a hard day for us, homework and more homework lol.)
