The Main Character

Pantry, go up and show me what we have in stock.

“We have 3 cans of beans and mustard.”

Refresh. Show me something I can eat.

“The food remains the same. No new products to load. May I suggest placing an order?”

Fine. Oregano, spaghetti, pasta sauce, bacon…

“That item does belong in your pantry. Error in system. Bacon is flagged as a refrigerator item.“

Yeah yeah whatever, just order the ingredients. Pineapple, mango, banana chips, sultanas, cheese, rice, beetroot, 100s and 1000s, feta, sour cream, chocolate, bread. That will do for now.

“Unable to order some of the items you have listed. Would you like me to order the pantry alternatives for these products?”

Yeah, do what you need to. I’m gonna take a snooze.

As I walk away from the kitchen my hand continues scrolling up and down. Just the air around me. I reach for my phone and scroll to order food delivery so I can eat now while I wait for the pantry to receive items and refresh.

Scroll, refresh, repeat.
