Prose:
For years, a restaurant, Ashtooth, has become increasingly successful. Featured in numerous write-ups and visited by customers from all over, Ashtooth has become a staple in the monster world. The head chef, Earl, has also received celebrity status, known for his delicious culinary creations. One day, during a busy dinner service, the known picky eater zombie, Ive, graces the premises. Ive orders several items off of the menu, all of which he finds disgusting. This causes Earl to react frantically and aggressively. He begins trying to make food as fast as possible to serve to the zombie, in the hopes of one dish being eaten by Ive. To no avail. More frustrated and more frantic, Earl’s begins to chop faster and more recklessly. Suddenly, he cuts off the tip of his finger which flies across the kitchen, and lands on a serving dish of a waiter headed to Ive’s table. Surprisingly, Ive finds the finger to be the most delectable meal that had been served to him that night. Earl, disheartened and shocked by the realization of the valuable taste of his own flesh, picks up a butcher knife. He moves the knife to begin to cut off more of himself before the camera cuts.
