Linda took a deep breath before entering Canni’s restaurant for her first day on the job. She was thrilled that they’d hired her so enthusiastically.
She waited while the maître d’ silently scanned a satisfied patron’s credit card with a white-gloved hand.
In the dimly lit dining room, a solemn tuxedoed waiter murmured to a diner, “Shoulder roast with red gravy. Very good, sir.”
“Follow me,” said the maître d’. He led Linda to the kitchen.
The chef, cleaver in hand, did not look up. He said, “Please give me your hand. The ladies at table 19 have ordered finger sandwiches.”
Gruesomely funny! The finger sandwiches bit got me laughing out loud. Brilliant fun.
Unlike at Selfridges, where they would have to open a new whale!
The fact that they’d hired her so ‘enthusiastically’ had me wondering (!) Good stuff
As always, great ending twist.
Oh wow… I didn’t expect the ending… well done…
I didn’t expect it either. You got double and triple out of those few words.
Thanks for the comments. Horror is not generally my thing, but this was fun to write.
Eek. Creepy but funny. Well done.
