Bacon sandwiches smelled of failure
Bacon sandwiches reminded her of the vastness of space There was a lot to explore between the ham and neck. They smelled of lost chances and time passing, So she stuck with peanut butter and jelly. The splattering oil hitting her eyes reminded her of the days when it was difficult to wake up because the pain came at dawn, and disappeared only behind closed eyelids. Lastly, the crispiness of burnt bacon reminded her of the times when she tried and failed. And it was too hard to scrape the signs of this failure off the pan, so she threw it out. In an attempt to forget, she became vegan. But then lentils stuck to the bottom of the pot, and she once again failed. She threw herself out thinking of the vastness of space. © 5 minutes ago
