Sammy knew what he had to do. It wouldn’t be easy, but if he could mange, it would be worth it. He hoped it would anyway.
He pulled in a deep, steadying breath and went for it, peeling the plastic from the tray and attacking the contents. All the nutrition he needed and no taste. It all went down with hardly a chew. Hardly a taste.
“Very good,” his mom said smiling. “Slow down for dessert. You don’t want brain-freeze.”
She needn’t have worried. He would savor this. His favorite with none of the nutrients and all of the taste.

Funny how that works… why hospitals feel the need to keep everything so bloody bland…
At least they gave him a treat!

Dear Russell,
There’s something about eating from plastic containers that takes away from the dining experience, isn’t there? Nutrients? Who needs ’em? 😉
Shalom,
