Chapter 1Sandwich

The middle-aged man was stood next to his kitchen counter, making the perfect sandwich. First a slice of bread, with mayo, Parmesan cheese, and mustered on top. Next, one slice of salami, two slices of dark Forest ham, and one slice of turkey, the man is very peculiar about his sandwiches. Lastly, he adds the lettuce, tomatoes, and 5 pickles with the slice of bread that has no mayo on it. He takes the sandwich and a bottle of water over to his kitchen table and sit down, ready to eat. However, the man notices how nice it is outside and decides to go for a walk while enjoying his sandwich.

The man wraps the sandwich in saran wrap and grabs his bottle of water to go. As the man leaves his home, he locks the door behind him and head for the nearby lake. While on the walk to the lake, he pulls back the wrapping on the sandwich to take a bite. Enjoying himself, the man finally reaches the lake and decides to skip rocks while eating. He puts down his water bottle and picks up a small rock, no bigger than a silver dollar, and tosses it into the lake, watching it skip a few times.

Meanwhile, a young lady is sat nearby watching the man skip rocks. Suddenly, the man throws the sandwich and bites a semi big rock. She watches as the man's face contorts in pain as he slowly looks at the rock in his hand in confusion. The lady laughs as she watches the man look at his perfect sandwich being eaten by ducks. The mans face then displays sadness as the woman laughs harder once the man realizes his mistake.

Moral of the story, don't skip rocks while eating a sandwich.
