A Short Story: “Eating Saturn”
That day, for some reason, Charlie decided it was a good idea to eat his brother’s car. He wasn’t motivated by hunger since he actually had a pretty sizable breakfast that morning, he just felt like today was the day he would eat every last piece of that car.
Their dad once told him about a man from India who had slowly eaten an automobile piece by piece over the course of a year. Whenever Charlie’s mind wandered to this story, it always added the thought, “why so long?” After remembering this story on that day, Charlie, instilled with confidence, figured he could get the task done in an afternoon.
