All week I’d been hearing good things about the new fast food joint that opened up downstairs, and around about lunchtime I decided to give it a try. The gimmick was simple, it was called Hades’ Hamburger hell or something, and sold everything from Pegasus Pie to Cyclops Shakes. It sure does prove the old adage correct, "Mythical Creatures doth the best food make", at least according to the ancient tablet they put up in the food court. I sat at Table Styx, and someone came and asked for my order. The funny thing was, all of a sudden lights were flashing and music was playing. I overheard I was their 100th customer and was invited to play a game for the chance of winning a free pack of Hydra hash Browns. I decided to take their advice "To Hell with it!" I proclaimed and went into a damper and all the more less pleasant back room. On of the boys handed me a nice solid feeling Smith and Western, and I saw five other men and women stood around in a circle. We all took turns pointing the gun at our heads and firing. Apparently one barrel was empty, and after five deaths it was my turn, and I became uncharacteristically nervous. But to cut a long story short the hydra hash browns were delicious, if a little annoying after a few days, as every time I ate one two more took its place. The third world will be thrilled.
