Killing for Potatoes
Hmmm… I
smell coffee and baked potatoes. Rich, strong, black coffee. The saccharine
aroma wafts like a magical phantom to my room and into my nostrils. It feels
wonderful; perhaps the kind of feeling one gets from sniffing cocaine. The
potatoes, spiced quite adequately, tickle my morning appetite. What a breakfast
this promises to be! I snuffle – once, twice, thrice – trying to figure out the
direction from
which this morning glory comes. It’s not from my kitchen, I know. It must be my
next-door neighbour. But then, hmm-hmm, it can’t be. My neighbour is not the
coffee type, nor any type of hot beverage. My neighbour drinks only Amstel –
morning, noon and night. And potatoes? Certainly can’t be my neighbour. Whoever
and wherever you are, I’m going to hunt you, and I’m going to find you. And,
sadly for you, I’m going to devour those potatoes and guzzle down that coffee.
I’m loading my gun…
