Day 1
It seemed a night like any other. But the rain and thunder foretold sorrow. I was young then, and couldn't see the signs for what they were. Neither of us could. We were too hungry to see.
"Hey, what are we ordering tonight?" my friend said, as he took the large tome of phone numbers in hand. I smiled and shook my head. I picked up the phone and dialed that number. The one I knew so well.
Ring ring. Ring ring.
“Hello,” I heard through the tinny speaker of my phone. “This is Tito's Pizza, how may I help you?”
“Hey, Tito,” I replied.
“Ah, my favourite customer! What c-can I do for you tonight?”
I wasn't sure if I'd heard right. Was it just me, or did I detect a quiver within his usual booming tones?
“Just a large pepperoni pizza, Teety.”
He took a short pause. But remembering it now, it seems like it was so long. Tito's next words made my blood run cold.
“Paizano... we're fresh out.”
I could scarcely believe it. “Fresh out of what?” I had to hear it in full.
“Imma sorry. The pepperoni, she is no longer with us.”
Pepperoni (NPC), the earl of pizza,
town hero, has been contaminated and trashed!
It took all my presence of mind not to fall into despair. I clutched the phone tighter.
“How did this happen?”
“Sir, I suspect the Chinese restaurant next door. We share our-a back shipping entrance, and I fear that they have contaminated our ingredients to-a make us go outta business.” I could hear the stress in his voice. The man was ready to crack.
But so was I. I needed some pizza tonight. I feared the worst, but I drew a deep breath and steeled myself for what laid ahead. “Tito,” I asked, “what
do you have?”
Little did I know, this night had only just begun.
Who will sit atop the pie?
