October 09, 2004
it's the 9th of October. it's a big day. it's the day my bread expires.
I rushed into the kitchen thinking of my expired bread, trying to make up for the days of ignoring that bunch of thick cuts. but it was too late. the 9th of October had come and my bread had expired. So there I stood facing the cruel reality: the tough grey pieces of something remotely looking like bread; soulless, motionless, breathless. My stomach gave a pity noise as if it was mourning for the death of the Hovis. The grey pieces were lying there looking at me and i had this very vivid hallucination: one of the pieces jumped up, pierced my stomach with a hateful look and questioned: 'why couldn't you eat us up when we were soft and white? why always wait till the expiry date?'. 'I, I didn't have time!' – was my reply. 'You never have time for the important things' – said the thick cuts representative and shook his 'head'...
never wait till the expiry date again…
