Kitten and Broccoli

In The Princess Bride, the Dread Pirate Roberts would tell Wesley everyday “Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning.” Sean has his own daily ritual – everyday, he’d tell the rescued cat his roommate Eric saved he was going to eat them. This would generally take the form of a kitten stew or braised with a green sriracha glaze, but eaten for pleasure all the same, their ropey muscles and feral gaminess a forbidden delicacy. Normally, this would elicit a nervous chuckle from Eric…until the pandemic entered month 5. There is a dangerous glint of hunger in Sean’s eyes; fueled by whiskey and meat deprivation. Now, Eric most protect his faithful companion at any cost. It’s Home Alone meets Keanu in this boundary pushing, bad taste comedy.
