This is the shortest chapter because there's no a lot I can do with this sense, the other ones will be longer.
He never really noticed. And it didn't bother him at all. Jack liked to think that it gave him a bit of an advantage; he could eat anything, so he would never go hungry. The first time he realized that he was supposed to have a sense of taste, was when he was following a group of kids and they were comparing the tastes of different ice creams. Jack had always thought everything tasted the same; like nothing.
But it still didn't bother him. He liked to think that his sense of smell made up for it. He could smell anything, even from miles away. Sometimes the smell was bad, but sometimes, like outside of a bakery, he realized he could almost imagine the taste of bread when the smell of it cooking blew outside.
Jack never had to worry about starving because of not having food he could eat. But because he couldn't taste anything, he could eat things he heard other children complain about, like green vegetables, and certain types of meat.
When he told North that he couldn't taste anything, the man went into protective daddy mode and tried to find a cure, but Jack didn't want a cure. He figured if all of the sudden he could taste different foods, it would overwhelm him. He told North that he had accepted it and was fine with it.
He kept moving on.
Next: Either Sound or Smell, you guys choose!
