The Untold Story

December 24th and I’m sitting in the back of an over crowed pub listening to the most boring person I’ve ever met drone on about the precise way to cook a chicken in his new easy-bake microwave; what a great Christmas Eve this is turning out to be. “Usually the oven is meant to be at 200 C but in the Micro-Zap, well it does it ALL for you, all you have to do is put in the weight of the item you want to cook, but it has to be the actual weight, not just a weight you guessed. Ha-ha no silly, that would be ludicrous.â€? Chuck, the copy editor from the magazine Live Right, Love Life often speaks in his English accent and as if his lungs are about to shrivel up from the lack of oxygen. Twenty-seven years old, flaming red hair and freckles that cover his nose and seem to spread all over the rest of his body, I imagine he wasn’t too popular in high school either, especially if he spoke the same way as he does now.
