Wild West - Part 25
James blew out the fire in the stove and brought the frying pan to the table – placing it on a cork tile not to burn the wood – along with a set of plates and forks.
Tom looked at the eggs which looked burnt and smelled of cigarette smoke, contemplated for a second whether he was hungry enough to eat the foul meal or not, then shrugged and proceeded to load a portion onto his plate and the rest onto James’ plate while he was grabbing the crackers.
They clanked their glasses together; “Cheers,” then proceeded to eat.
“Is this really how bad I cook?” James laughed at himself when he tried a bite of eggs. When he saw Tom’s face turn with disgust he laughed even harder. “That son of a bitch must’ve rigged my cooking too. Everything used to taste amazing, but this tastes like burnt ass,” he forced himself to swallow and they both laughed.
