It was 3:04 AM when I heard the microwave beep. I live alone. I walk into the kitchen, and there she isâmy dead grandmaâheating up a gas station burrito, glowing red like a toaster oven from hell. She turns to me, eyes full of static like a broken TV, and whispers: âThe cheese will melt... but you will burn.â Suddenly, the burrito explodes. Not like, boom, but like a cosmic mushroom cloud made of beans and demonic energy. The walls bleed salsa. The cat starts chanting in Latin. My phone levitates and texts my ex, âHe awakens.â I try to run, but the floor turns into wet tortilla. Grandma floats above me, sprouting bat wings made of lasagna noodles. She screams: âYOU NEVER ATE MY CASSEROLE.â Then I wake up. In bed. Safe. But the microwave is still running... And next to itâanother burrito. Still warm. Still whispering. âOne bite⌠and youâll never come back.â Voir plus
