Author's Notes: Funny little story about lunchtime and the life changing choices there-in.
Theme: Choices
Cross-Roads
The Trousers of Time. A belief that at all decisions, minor or otherwise, a new dimension or alternate/mirror universe is created from the other remaining choices.
Now a choice such as this lay before Reeve. Egg salad sandwich with coffee or peanut-butter and jelly sandwich with milk. Both had their pros and cons. Oh dear, which to choose.
Mmmmm… egg salad. Sure, it made his breath stink, but it was really fresh and he hadn't had one in months. Bonus was the coffee, because fresh coffee could be used to bribe Tseng into joining him for lunch. (Tseng's addiction to coffee was something of worry though.)
Then there was peanut-butter and jelly, just like mom used to make it. Yet peanut-butter made his tongue stick to the room of his mouth. Jelly could easily stain his shirt, suit and tie. Worst of all, milk in abundance occasionally lured the slightly insane Reno to his table. (Which was bad because Reno was always bugging him for money for booze.)
"So sir, what will it be?" the lady at the lunch counter asked.
"Bologna and cheese with a sprite."
